This is one of those songs that you have always known all the words to. It's on every Christmas Greatest Hits CD going and I was lucky enough to see Roy Woods performing it as the support act when I went to see Status Quo a few years back.
You've not really lived until you've heard around 3,000 Scottish people singing along to the chorus!
Possibly my favourite xmas song, certainly the favourite of my little childhood self.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, that bit at the end with the kids singing as it fades? When I worked in the jobcentre and we played xmas tunes in the run up to xmas, I would tell everyone I saw that my mate Jane on reception was the girl singing at the end. Everyone believed me! Haha
