Troika - Prokofiev

Not actually a Christmas tune, but as been adopted as such over the years (Think its the use of the bells, representing the horse drawn carriage or sled involved in the film it was written for) .....Fantastic piece, mind you....

Greg Lake and Pogues/Kirsty McColl for me.

Not strictly a Christmas song, but in charts at the time, the Frog Chorus still makes me smile as my (then) toddler son used to stand and gaze at the telly and mimic it.
