Tie between John Lennon's 'Happy Christmas' and 'In the Bleak Midwinter'. But I also really love some of the older Christmas hymns, I'm just not a big fan of the newer pop versions of them, the Mariah Carey voice wiggle bugs the hell out of me.
Manheim Steamroller's Silent Night with a tribute to 9/11. The first several times that I heard it, I had to pull my car over and cry. Love the Boy's Choir singing and the classics. Pretty much all of them.
I never tire of listening to "Fairytale in New York" (The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl)- it's absolutely brilliant.
