the E17 one isn't really an xmas song, isn't it about his brothers death? Difficult one there are hundred's of awful xmas songs, maybe should be the most known xmas song you would most like to forget In that category ... macca or the slade one ... i have never understood it's attraction

Adding my thumbs down for Jonah Lewie and E17 (ugh!) But it's a two way tie for my most hated Christmas song, between Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. They both make me want to scream. That last one, unomusette, I hate that too!

Wonder what Roy would think if Jeff was singing his classic song.

There were two video's ... one for the Christmas market ... one which is shown should anybody want to show it other times apparently (so say wiki)

Agreed ... the putting bells on the last 20 secs doesn't help either... seems like a cynical record company marketing move on something that was probably well intentioned at the start.

That's not Jeff! Looks a lot like him but the teeth give it away, Jeff's are a lot cuter. tremblinwilbury - you beauty! Top marks for your excellent musical taste
