Whilst it might have seemed a good idea at the time, Thin Lizzy & Sex Pistols (The Greedies) - A Merry Jingle is pretty grim

Best: Killers (feat. Dawes) - Christmas In L.A.
Worst: All those that get played over over and over and over and over again until I can't fucking listen anymore, Fairytale Of New York being top of that list.

It's threads like this that go to show that none of us are wired the same...
Best; Darkness / Christmas Time (and the Greg lake one already mentioned.)
Worst; Lennon's Merry Christmas, War is over (and the Poges/McCall ditty.)

The original Do They Know It's Christmas purely because Midge Ure wrote it in a couple of days and then recorded/mixed and produced the thing to be played on Radio 1 in 24 hours. Pretty impressive back in a time when technology wasn't what it is now.
Worst - Mariah Carey

They seem to sound tackier and more annoying every year, especially when played in November.
I like the old American ones - they are less tacky and genuinely happy tunes. Also, the Greg Lake song - I believe in Father Christmas.
I agree that the McCartney one is a dirge. What on earth was he thinking of?!

What a great retirement fund Merry xmas everybody is for Noddy Holder and Jim Lea who wrote the song.
I think it earns them about £120k each
every year since they wrote it!

If you like Carols as I do, take a listen to this one from the choir at St Paul's cathedral, if you look closely, you will spot a young Alistair Cook as one of the choir members.
It finishes with a marvellous descant:

Best, or my favourite, and I can't believe I only discovered this one last christmas, is Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas."

Talking about "last christmas," I'll make that my least favourite.
