5. Good King Wensceslaus (Despite the cool name)
4. Little Drummer Boy
3. We Wish you a Merry Christmas
2. Jingle Bell Rock

I don't have that many favourites... let's see.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and O Holy Night are good.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas and Grandma got Run Over By a Reindeer definitely should go into the bottom 5. Santa is the Man sounds execrable, so execrable I don't think it even counts as a Christmas song. Good King Wenceslas isn't bad at all, but I'm with Emma on The Little Drummer Boy (yawn).

Some of my favorite Christmas songs (I don't think this list is really top-5-able).

The Christmas Waltz
It Must Have Been Old Santa (a Harry Connick Jr. tune - it's kind of silly, but humor me)
God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen
Jingle Bells (only to the tune of Fiddler on the Roof)
White Christmas
I'll Be Home for Christmas (Frank Sinatra's version)
Silver Bells
The Holly and the Ivy
Mos Craciun (Romanian Christmas carol)
Wassail, Wassail
The Christmas Song by Tom Lehrer

Oo, Jason, you're right. I definately have to replace Once in Royal David's City with O Holy Night.

Not very much Kiekegaard I'm afraid. Mostly just comparing his views with Anselm of Canterbury and Thomas Aquinas. Don't get too excited.
