Tim: In case you thought I wasn’t being entirely serious on Saturday when I suggested exploring a compilation of basically non-entities as far as Christmas tracks go: of course I wasn’t. A serious person wouldn’t dream of doing something so utterly risible.
Tim: But when some of the tracks are of this calibre, only a fool would pass up the idea. This one doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page, so fortunately I can’t bore everybody again with chart statistics, but I’d rate it quite a bit higher that Britney’s offering, and not just for that key change.
Tom: See, I’m in favour of more uptempo Christmas tracks — dare I say, “jolly” Christmas tracks? It takes a Stay Another Day-quality ballad to pique my interest, whereas if you just stick a four-on-the-floor sleigh bell in there I’ll probably at least listen.
Tim: It does, on the other hand, probably go quite a bit slower than it could do, because while it’s obviously it’s a ballad it doesn’t really need to be a ballad that might keep time for a funeral procession.
Tom: Right! That’s exactly my problem with it.
Tim: But that aside, I like it, with it’s High School Musical style – not even the utterly nonsensical fan-made lyric video (if it actually counts as such) can make me dislike it too much.
