Music of that thing called Christmas Page 3
Well, there's a lovely new version of Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth, with Terry Wogan playing Bing Crosby and Aled Jones playing David Bowie.
I suggest you all have a listen to it, in a vain attempt to reedem yourselves.

Phil Spectors Christmas Album is very good.

It has to be 'War is Over' or Pogues or 'December will be Magic' for me. And XTC's secret christmas single is so damn catchy too.
