Ah, yes. This might be my single favourite Christmas song ever in fact. Certainly the only "happy" Christmas song that I truly love. It comes from Badly Drawn Boy's lovely soundtrack to the Hugh Grant starring film adaption of Nick Hornby's About a Boy. The film is nice and innofensive and mildly amusin. The soundtrack more than stands on it's own though as a light-and-fluffy but very endearing and sweet Badly Drawn Boy record. And it closes with this, the finest song on it.

It's all about the strings really. The lyrics are not explicitally Christmassy for the most part but it certainly SOUNDS like how Christmas should be. If you need to ward off any Grinches or Scrooges then play this loud, on repeat. It might even make it snow a little. Maybe.
