It has come to my attention that at least one CMer/hubber has never heard the best Christmas song ever (it's <a href="http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/men/news/s/191/191704_fairytale_of_new_york_is_top_xmas_song.html"[/url]>official</a>). So everyone must go here:

and watch/listen/learn.
Enjoy!

But does he talk about Jesus? Because if he doesn't, it only qualifies as a Holiday song.

I shall allow to prefer other songs so long as you have heard Fairytale of New York and appreciated its greatness. I just couldn't believe Robbo had never ever heard it.

Sorry Kathy, I didn't mean you guys so much as the radio/tv stations who never play it!
I just love the lyrics - there's something oh so Christmassy about:
"You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot*
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last"
