Not without resonance to me this year, as I missed mine and had to settle for a Christmas in the Town - and it is not the same thing at all. In fact I'm not sure it hasn't knocked the whole season out of kilter... but I digress.
This list is supposed to be a potpourri of songs and is not intended to end on a high or with the best, but last year I succumbed on the 25th to the genius that is 'Fairytale of New York' so this year I've gone for the song that is Lady B's favourite Christmas record. Well, she's cooking the Turkey later so it's best to stay on her good side...
This is smooth, soulful, sultry and full of the joys of the Christmas spirit and will sit well with your brandy and chestnuts. Enjoy it, the season and Merry Christmas to you all.
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
