Especially as sung by Damien Dempsey!

Obviously I am a fan of songs with some nice Christian overtones, such as silent night, and when a child is born.

merry christmas to you, hard to beat

chestnuts roasting on an open fire
jack frost nipping at your nose
yuletide carols being sung by a choir
and kids dressed up like eskimo's

brilliant stuff

Its come to the stage now I just hate them all.Heard them all a thousand times.You go to any shop and you see all these worried/solemn people floating around,while a booming,cheery song is played in the background.Our stores need to play more radiohead.
