I do like the Jethro Tull piece!
Can't say I had ever heard it before.

they did a whole Xmas album a few years back, though some of the songs were originally recorded for ealier albums. Christmas Song was on Living in the Past and maybe a b-side from a single or something ealier. I also like this one by Tull...also on the Christmas album, but originally on Songs from the Wood.
 
Keep 'em coming, folks! I think I will load this thread up tomorrow whilst baking stuff and click on all these wonderful songs.:)

This is my all time favorite.

Here's another version with Jethro Tull and the choir of St. Bride's Church in London, England.



And if you like it a bit on the heavy side, here's The Kinks; with lyrics



When I was small I believed in santa claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played father christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
Well beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a steve austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real mccoy

Father christmas, give us some money
Well beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job cause he needs one
Hes got lots of mouths to feed
But if youve got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you don't hand it over
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin
While you're drinkin down your wine

Father christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Well beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
 
Sorry, I'm late, but better than never !
