Christmas is but a couple of weeks away and here at Prog we've already been dipping in to the Jethro Tull Christmas Album! But when it comes to prog and Christmas there seems to be a stronger bond than with other musical genres.

 Jethro Tull leader Ian Anderson and Yes keyboard player Geoff Downes have, in the past, linked this to the fact that church-based music was part of their own musical learning and development.

So, for a bit of festive fun, we've decided to find out which is your favourite Christmas prog song. There's a fair few to choose from - from evergreens that have stood the test of time over the years to new arrivals that seem to crop up year in year out. We've compiled a list of the major ones below, although you can vote for anything you think we've missed out as well. And you can vote for up to five choices.

So get voting with the form below, and we'll run the results closer to the big day.
