Tough one for the song... Fairytale of New York, Do They Know It's Christmas Time... and I have been really enjoying 'Driving Home For Christmas' by Chris Rea this year.

Films... good shout with Home Alone, for films that seem to have literally nothing to do with Xmas but seem to get shown every single year, I might go with Short Circuit 2 or Jason and the Argonauts.

P.S. Great film like but does Goodfellas get shown at Xmas usually Tomo?

Film, It's a wonderful life.

Music, it's a toss up between eine kleine nachtmusik and Slades Merry Christmas Everybody.  Did you know that the original B side to it was called Don't Blame Me.  Given the amount of times this is played the title is slightly ironic

Merry Christmas everyone and may you all enjoy your poker next year more then you have this year

Haha - what are you talking about? Home Alone is set at Christmas, you numpty!

But anyway, the best Christmas film is Die Hard, followed by It's a Wonderful Life.

I think you've mis-read Lambos' post. It reiterates what a good xmas film Home Alone is and then goes on to list a few non festive films that always seem to be shown at christmas time.

For me: Peace on Earth/ little drummer boy Bing Crosby/David Bowie or Santa Clause is coming to town by Bruce Springsteen.

Films: It's hard to better Die Hard. But for a non festive film that's always on, The Great Escape!(one day I know Steve Mcqueen is going to make that jump)
