I'm not a great letter writer, so I'm posting a Christmas song.

I love this song. I love the fact that I hear it in shops, and pubs and clubs, and on the radio. I hear drunk people singing it on the way home from the pub.

It's kind of magical that this rather niche punky-folky band with a genius song writer had this one big, beautiful hit that comes out once a year and my fanboy cult-ish enthusiasm suddenly becomes mainstream for a month or so.

This live version is great. It's just Christy and his guitar with a very funny spoken word intro

I love you baby too!
