Do You Hear What I Hear (Bing Crosby's version is my favorite)
Pretty Paper (Roy Orbison's version)
All of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra songs
and sadly, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (currently my ringtone)
I love this one also but I'm not sure it is technically a Christmas song, the movie features elements of Christmas and of winter. Still a nice song regardless of the occasion.
The links below are not christmas songs, But these songs make me wish that this group would record some christmas songs. I have a feeling it would be superb. Have a listen and tell me if you agree.
My favorite:
Old Toy Trains (Nana Mouskouri version primarily)
The Christmas Song (Mel Torme version)
Up on Santa Claus Mountain (Lorrie Morgan)
Baby its Cold Outside (not really Christmas, Doris Day and Bing Crosby version)
Others:
Wexford Carol
I saw three ships
Sheep May Safely Graze
Jingle Bells....well, I like it, except my 2.5 year old sang and played it all day....over....and over....and over.......and over..

and over.....In particular, the barking dog version.....oy vey!
In the UK you know its christmas time when you hear Fairytale of New York by the Pogues on the radio. Its the only christmas song I like
Wow, I'd never heard that song before, but you piqued my curiosity. For the equally curious and out of touch, here's a couple of links:
Music Lyrics
Seriously? - It's on the radio almost permanently here from November to January. It's a great song though. Featuring Kirsty MacColl (who died tragically in a speedboat accident a few years ago)
I don't know if it's a "favorite" but the one I thought of when I saw this thread (and have actually heard most recently) is Silent Night/7 O'Clock News by Simon and Garfunkel.
