This is my favourite Christmas song: [White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q).  
What is yours?

I’m just not into all that sentimental stuff. This is what you hear at our Christmas parties (whether in L.A. or Barranquilla): [No Hay Cama Pa Tanta Gente](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFApwytMcZI&feature=related)–(probably the most famous Christmas song in the Caribbean).
