I believe in Father Christmas by Emerson Lake and Palmer.

Good answers already! I love both "Do They Know It's Christmas" and "Last Christmas".
Another one that I don't really like, but comes to mind instantly is that "Christmas Wrapping" song--the Waitresses, I wanna say..? I heard that constantly at Christmas time on the radio station I listened to.
Really, any of the Very Special Christmas albums that came out in the 80's and early 90's are good ones.
There's also always the Christmas with the Chipmunks albums! ;)
"Alvin..Alvin..ALVIN!!"
"O-K!"

A Very Special Christmas is fantastic Marci! There's 5 of them now...the first one came out in 1987. Jon Bon Jovi is very much involved with them and the whole Special Olympics program....
...so MY fave 80s christmas song has got to be "Back Door Santa" by Bon Jovi from A Very Special Christmas 1...

My personal favorite, and one I play the most, is
The Pretenders - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Until I heard their rendition, I was never really fond of that song. But that one makes me melt, just extremely well done.

Ok, no-one mentioned this yet, so I will:
Does anyone besides me think the ending of the Band-Aid song sounds like the theme of He-Man?

Really? Wow, where have I been? LOL! I know I have the first two (possibly the first three..?) and they really are excellent. I'll have to look into the others!! I didn't realize they had released any more. But if Jon Bon Jovi continued to be involved--hey they gotta be good! ;)

Just to clarify....this is a Jon Bon Jovi solo song and not a band song...it was released only as a bonus track on the single of Keep The Faith and on one Christmas compilation album called "A Rock N Roll Christmas"....very rare in official release....but readily available on your fave P2P...heheeee...

I have to mention this one as I first heard it in 1988 and has become one of my favorite Christmas novelties:
Rusty Chevrolet by Da Yoopers.
It's sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells."
