I'm in reflective mood this evening - sorting 1st and 2nd Class letters for the Royal Mail will do that to a man - so what better way to unwind than with this sumptuous song from Chapman.
I suppose, strictly speaking, this is more seasonal than Christmas, but it sings cold nights and twinkling lights and that'll do for me right now. On this, Beth duets with John Prine - whose 'Christmas in Prison' has nearly made this list several times now - to make this gorgeous song even more beautiful. It almost makes me forget my back is killing me...
Great list so far Billy! I'm listening to Father Christmas by The Kinks at the moment, its a riot.
Blagg says: Hmmm...it was a possible for this years list actually James. Now I'll have to find another - or will I?

About
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.
