That's a beautiful song, too.
I hadn't heard of it before, but I found a nice version of it on youtube.
For anybody else who is interested, here it is:

Susie, it's 'only' about 9 years ago that I learned that song and I can't remember more than "Il est né le divin enfant, chantons tous son avènement" despite having a rather good memory for poetry and such. I think it's the lyrics. ;)
Here is Elvis "Santa, Bring My Baby Back to Me"

The Paul McCartney video was very nice. I love it when Christmas is not only festive, but has some more cheery aspects to it, too.
The Robbie Williams video was really powerful, he sure is a very charismatic person. And you British indeed know how to sing! :)

I have just posted this to some friends here, and thought i would share it with you.....its not my favourite Christmas song, but its very unique to Australia.....
Its called Six White Boomers.....a song made popular by Rolf Harris in the 60's...
Its about a baby kangaroo (a JOEY) who cant find his mum on Christmas day and Santa helps him to find her....he un-hitches the reindeer from his sleigh, and harnesses Six White Boomers....(six big white kangaroos).....hope you enjoy it....
SIX WHITE BOOMERS.....
Early on one Christmas Day, a Joey Kanga-roo
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo
Mummy, where's my mummy, they've taken her a-way
We'll help you find your mummy son, hop on the sleigh
Up beside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped
But they had'nt gone far when Santa stopped
Un-harnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey, feeling quite OK
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Joey said to Santa, Santa, what about the toys
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys
They've all got their presents son, we were here last night
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar a town in the outback
Slow down there, cried Santa, it can't be far
Come up on my lap son, and have a look around
There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Well that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch all snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa headed northward from the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Rolf Harriss (1965)
