This is really a toss-up, but both involve artists from Great Britain:
Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth; as sung by Bing and Bowie. This one always reminds me of my early Christmases in North America, and the great surprises and excitement that accompanied those Christmas mornings.
Band Aid – Do They Know it's Christmas? "Feed the Wooooo-ooorld, Let them know it's Christmas Time" The conceit is strange, especially with Islam being such a huge faith in the affected areas at the time, but their hearts were in the right place. Nowadays I much more of a cynic about such affairs, but I still think fondly of all the little pyramids of pennies I gave for the babies in Africa who needed them more than I needed a new GiJoe.
