Default Do you like Fairytale of New York?
Often cited as the best Christmas song of all time, do you actually like the song?

I see that it can be very divisive. Let's see what the TiBB consensus is.

Not the best ever imo but yeah I love it. A lot of nostalgia of past Christmases attached to it since it's one of those classics played every year.

I used to like the excuse to use the words "slut", "bum", "faggot", and "ringing" without getting told off.

A classic, except for yesterday when I heard it play on the same radio station three times in the one day

I do love it actually, although it's not my favourite.

However, I do find it uncomfortable when straight people scream "YOU CHEAP, LOUSY F*GGOT" at a Christmas do.

I much prefer replacing the f-word with "carrot".
