  1. A full album for today, Master Harker.

    "Christmas music from Guildford Cathedral" came out in 1966.

    1. Fantasia on Christmas Carols (Ralph Vaughan Williams)
    2. All in the morning (arr. Vaughan Williams)
    3. Bethlehem Down (Peter Warlock)

    5. Wassail Song (arr. Vaughan Williams)
    6. Carol Symphony (Victor Hely-Hutchinson)

    "Carol symphony" begins at 22'45, and the best bit is 35 minutes into the video.

  2. Such a choice for 1973. Slade! Steeleye Span! Elton John!

    Have a piece of Wizzard, Roy Wood's band. Mr. Wood dresses up as Santa, and the children perform as themselves.

    The glam rock chords are spot-on for 1973, and the song's become as much part of the furniture as that slightly-dented third bauble down.

  3. The Wombles - Wombling merry Christmas

    The stars of 1974 end their Imperial Phase with a festive glam rock slice.

    Mike Batt and his furries were denied the top spot by Mud, not that they cared. The explosive chords are spot-on, and the B-side ("Madam Cholet") is worth a listen.

    From the album "Keep on Wombling".

  4. All seasonal songs are twinkly and bright and schmalzy, right?

    Of course not.

    "It never snows in Florida" was the highlight of New Found Glory's pop-punk album "December's Here".

  5. What did Sausage do next?

    After winning #TheMaskedSinger disguised as a banger, Joss Stone made a festive album.

    "Bring on Christmas day" was the big track - big in promotion, big in sound, big in emotion.

    From 2022's "Merry Christmas, Love".
