Second best Christmas song ever
BBC 6 Music are currently having a debate over whether you can still have decent Christmas records.Accepting that The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl made the perfect (and now horribly poignant) Christmas single, which song comes in second ?
As much as I dislike The Darkness, their effort a few years back was at least in the right spirit, unlike the 'look at me, its all in a good cause' remake of Band Aid.
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses always gets an indie type nod and you can't go wrong with a bit of John Lennon. Jona Lewie's Stop the Cavalry combines Christmas spirit and an anti-war message, so don't expect to hear that on Radio 1 any time this year.
I'm going to stick my neck out and make a bold statement.
As Christmas records go, this (for reasons I don't fully understand myself) will always be one of my favourites.....

have you lost your mind ?
What's your No 3, Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas" ?
I Can't argue with the No.1 spot though.

I know, I know !
It's just that it makes me feel all Christmassy, a lot more than the usual suspects (Slade etc).
I could be going deaf in my old age .....
