Best Christmas song ever

Must be my Irish ancestry, with a great granddad officially described a "scavenger" who left Ireland to chance his arm not in the US, but Liverpool.

This song has everything I love; drinking, gambling, dreams, risk, failure, and utter poignancy....



And now I have a gingerbread house to decorate.....

    That has become a modern day classic , Lindsay.

    But what is the worst Christmas song?

    I would say Jingle Bell rock and the one with some women who seem to rap and chatter along and go 'Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.!"

    Truly inane and revolting.

    I dont deny gingerbread can send my senses zinging but trifle is my prefered indulgence on days of importance.

    I have always been a fan of the Pogues singing Waltzing Matilda.
    I know it aint a Christmas song but as a one legged man it always sends my spirits soaring.
