IT'S 21 years since Stay Another Day became the UK’s Christmas number-one, but where does it rank in our list of favourite and not so favourite Christmas songs?

Christmas is fast approaching which means Christmas songs are about to take over the airwave but which songs do we love to sing along to and which do we wish had never been written?
