WHich is not remotely Christmas but what a tune and video

In my rush to denigrate Christmas I actually forgot I do have some favourite Christmas songs :slightly_smiling_face:

Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry was actually the first record I bought, which whilst an anti-war song and not a pre-meditated Christmas song, it gets wheeled out every year and references Christmas. I just read the Wiki and the only reason it didn’t make Christmas #1 was because two John Lennon singles beat it to #1 and #2 due to the fact he got shot in December, so it actually made #3 in the Xmas chart which under the circumstances is as good as anyone could do I guess.

Then there is this diamond :rofl:

I’ve also go this on a 7" (part of a job lot rather than a conscious decistion but it’s a keeper :grinning:)
