    Chris Rea's Driving Home For Christmas has been my favourite Christmas song for years. We always used to play that at the end of our last market (selling cheeses) before Christmas with both my sons. So it brings me great joy and always brings a few tears as well. You can never hear enough Chris Rea. He is the best.
