“What’s Christmassy about tha?” were the scolding utterances that ended my contribution to the annual Christmas mixtape at work today. The arrival of Frightened Rabbit’s ‘It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop’ had prompted it and despite sounding to me, at least, like a modern classic of the seasonal kind it seems like “it doesn’t exactly make ya wanna to gerrup and boogie”. Oh dear, you got to feel sorry for these talented Scottish men and their almost annual attempt to have this cherisable recognised for the goodness that it is. Because we’ve had the original on this blog 2 years ago here is a version that’s stripped of lyrics which instead relies on the choral bits. It gets me every time and that’s what it is exactly Christmassy about it, I’ll probably even dance to it at some stage over the next few weeks. KD

Great tune. Check out (I Wanna Be) Dead By Christmas for the dark side of Christmas humor…
