The Wassailing Song by Blur - little-heard festive fan gift from the deepest darkest Whither Dave days of Blur's not exactly vintage 1992, featuring all four of them taking lead vocals on a trad-folk medieval carol full of arcane references to underdone toast.

Merry X-Mess by Rotterdam Termination Source - neural pathway-pummeling hard techno dancefloor stomp enlivened by raucous outbreaks of carollong pilfered directly from the soundtrack of a VHS copy of Home Alone 2. Previous single was just a breakbeat and a spring.

Nothing against Amandaland but why dont they bring back Christmas Night With The Stars of The Funny Side of Christmas? Do loads of 5-8 minute festive specials or sketches. Introduces smaller shows to a big audience with some more standard comedy, get some names in, easy.

The 1997 equivalent of "Amandaland" being the big BBC One Christmas Day sitcom would be "Spark" or "Bloomin' Marvellous".

Always loved how the On The Hour Christmas Special ends with the 'Santacution', which is an unashamedly gleeful bad taste even by Lee And Herring standards. On Christmas Day morning on Radio 4.
