Re: What has been the greatest Christmas song ever?

Wouldn't vote for any from the list, although I'd give the Ronettes an honourable mention just for being drop-dead gorgeous - the song lets 'em down, though.

THIS is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest Christmas song ever...

Silent Night and let's keep it that way!
Never mind Bah humbug,
Just too many people that don't know how to drink within reason making a mess of the

Hope you told him, SJ, that there's folk in Accy and all over the North West who know more about soul than the yanks have ever forgot!
