Teenage Christmas by The Jacobites featuring the late, great Nikki Sudden of Swell Maps.

I agree that we should maybe have waited until Dec 1st, but I think there are gonna be quite a lot to choose from. I mean, we should include this awesome cover by Eux Autres



And Eux Autres have btheir own great Christmas song too:



(I have something of a crush on Heather from the band, as do many many others.)

Last Train To Christmas - April March and Los Cincos. Snowy and magical.

[Albumen]

Quite right.

And that's a very kind offer


Actually if you chaps want to get this done, I'll have to relent and let you start your nominations, or we'll never get it done before the new year! Fire away folks.

Ooo yes please.

Work time's for messing around on the internet. I've got better things to do when I'm at home.
