While I was out shopping this morning, one of the shops was playing a reggae version of Chris De Burgh's "A Spaceman Came Travelling".
It must get better than this. 
Suggestions of cool Christmas records, anyone?

Teenage Fanclub's "Jesus Christ", which they released as a b-side one summer...

Nelson Munks, from The Simpsons, singing "Joy to the World"...
It went like this...
Joy to the World/The teachers dead/We barbecued her head/What happened to the body/We flushed it down the potty/And round and round it goes/And round and round it goes...

'Muntz', his name was.
How about ELP's 'I Believe In Father Christmas', the Beach Boys' 'Little Saint Nick' or the Pogues & Kirsty MacColl's 'Fairytale of New York'?
I was a little disappointed by the content of this thread after seeing the title. I was hoping for a hootoo '12 Days'

Very Clever Master B *strikes a pose* although I hope the "greebo" reference wasn't me!

Actually (for an unscheduled return to topic) my favourite Christmas tape is a Barry Manilow one, which has some lovely melancholy songs on it e.g.
I got wine, I got cheer
I got nobody here
I guess there aint no Santa Claus
Well they sure got it right
When they said "Silent Night"
I guess there aint no Santa Claus

By far the best, most atmospheric and moving Christmas record I've heard is "Christmas" by Low.
This is probably my favourite Christmas song: http://www.chairkickers.com/low/audio/longway.mp3

I am going to nominate Badly Drawn Boy's "Donna & Blitzen" from the "About a Boy" soundtrack.
"Fairytale in New York" also gets my vote.
