Which particular song or tune makes you feel "Its Christmas Again!" and go all gooey and sentimental, when you hear it on the radio?
For me, it's got to be "Going Home For Christmas" by Chris Rea.

I like A spaceman came travelling by Chris De Burgh. My very favourite though is December Song by George Michael, absolutely beautiful.

Thanks delia, gives me a chance to post this as I do every year.  Fabulous!  Edited to remember my favourite gay nurse Drew who first 'drew' my attention to this charity song, hope you're still out there somewhere buddy I miss you.  |

Of the Christmas pop songs, the one I like best is Greg Lake's I Believe in Father Christmas. I'm a sucker for White Christmas, the film and the song, but tbh my all-round favourite is Silent Night sung by a church choir.

Oh, yes, toggy - George Michael takes some beating. Like your clip, Holly - I 've not heard that for ages.
Goodhelen - Silent Night can give you the cosy Christmas feeling, and of course it's never the season until you've heard "White Christmas!"

I prefer the songs that aren't full of soppy stuff about Peace on Earth and all that unrealistic crap.
Which pretty much leaves me with one song:

I like "I'll be home for Christmas" originally by Bing Crosby in 1943 and written for US servicemen overseas. Last line is ".... if only in my dreams."

Your Grinch is really showing 
Though I do like the song choice 
That and "I Believe in Father Christmas" - plus a bit of pop cheese that I can't resist, Shakin' Stevens' "Merry Christmas, Everyone"
