7 – ‘Little Saint Nick’ – (The Beach Boys / 1963)
6 – ’2.000 Miles’ – (The Pretenders / 1984)
5 – ‘Father Christmas’ – (The Kinks / 1977)

I know I'll be in the minority here but it's shit imo. I hate it. Two Oirish people singing about a pissed up argument. Depressing as fuck.

The Darkness - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) (Official Video) - YouTube

Stupid as fuck & catchy.

it was, "Bell End", "Ring Piece", and "Come on kids", that they had a bet on, getting away with. And they did it.

Oh I like that Bo Selecta one as well. And Slade.

I love Fairytale of New York, but there are some covers out there that rock it up a bit and make it a bit less Irish-sounding. Not that I have anything against the Irish, it's just their music is usually ****.

MxPx - Christmas Night of Zombies!

and August Burns Red - Carol of the Bells
