The bit where he speaks at the end is now a bit creepy

Has anyone else got any long Christmas mixes they can recommend that even come close to the genius of this one? Thanks @Balearic_Clapton this has been on solid repeat at home and now in my wife’s office as well, where she is trying to educate her young assistant into the realms of quality music.
As much as I can listen to this on repeat a while longer, I need something ,else I can put on for a few hours whilst I get on with other things over the next few weeks.

I can’t endorse every single track on here as “not shit”, but it’s all stuff I find fun to listen to once a year when we’re cooking and eating the christmas lunch

Going to put this one here. Went to the Crisis carol service in Southwark Cathedral a few weeks ago, and their members choir (people that they have helped, and continue to help, on their journey from homelessness) performance of this brought a bit of a lump to my throat. It was wonderful.
Never really listened to the lyrics before, they’re about the over commercialisation of Christmas and his cynicism about the whole concept of “peace on earth.” The accompanying video used footage from the Vietnam and 6 Day War.

I’ve had too many negronis to see if this has already been posted, but it is most definitely a real beaut.
