Yuletide greetings one and all.

As it's nearly that time of year again I was wondering what you all thought was the best Beatle related Christmas song?

Vote away, and don't spare the brandy butter

Not a great fan of any Xmas song at all. Paul's thing is the least annoying imho.  

Snoopy's Christmas by The Royal Guardsmen. My alltime favourite song of anytime when I was a kid. "Merry Christmas mein friend!"

Quoted from Bobber

Paul's thing is the least annoying imho.

Paul McCartney Song Named Most Hated Christmas Tune

It's one of those songs that gets stuck in your head and won't leave. Which is why a tune by Paul McCartney has been named the worst Christmas song of all time for the second straight year.  
Critics note "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" is abysmal for lots of reasons - the keyboards, the vocals and the repetitive nature of the tune itself, which gets played and played and played endlessly at this time of year, mostly because it was made by a former Beatle.  
And that's enough to have the 1979 song declared the worst Yule tune of all time by the website Retrocrush.  Those sitting in judgment note, "Anyone who has ever had to suffer through this .. should at least get a fat check from Sir Paul as a Christmas gift."  
Oddly, The McCartney tune came in tied for first place in a similar survey CityNews conducted last year at this time. The co-winner? "Feliz Navidad" by Jose Feliciano.
What's in second place in the new survey? A song that has many cringing even more than the McCartney tune called "Christmas Shoes". This seasonal classic - or not so classic - by NewSong tells the story of a dying mother and a small boy trying to buy shoes for her during the holiday season.
It actually spawned a movie and is expected to set clenched teeth on edge for Christmases to come.
For those of you who agree with the list, take heart - there's only a week left before all those songs are put aside for another year.  

Well, I like Paul's song. But John and Yoko's is the best.

I will normally defend Paul's genrehopping to the hilt, but this song  is beyond defending. I just wonder, when they all sat around and listened to the final cut, what they were hearing? Which one of them said "this is great." Someone should have said something to him. It is bad beyond description, and not worthy of the Macca name. A pox on it.

I'll say one thing. And one thing only: “Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey“

To hear a sample of this stunning...er...song:

I'd have to say this is pretty slim pickin's.  Yoko ruins "Happy Xmas" for me.  I don't hate the Paul song, but it does go on and on.  George Martin knew when to get out of a song.  

I love George, but "Ding-Dong" is more annoying than "Wonderful Christmastime"--probably just doesn't get played as much.  "Ding Dong" reminds me of Chuck Berry's horrible "My Ding-a-ling."

Unfortunately none of the songs in the poll ranks remotely near Der Bingle's "White Christmas" or even a decent Christmas carol.  

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)........Special song which came at a special time.  It's still relevant today.
