Written by Mike Batt, one of Britain’s greatest songwriters. ‘We wish you a Wimbling Merry Christmas’ was another one of his gems, and my personal Christmas favourite.

My Mum loved David Essex. We had to watch a bizarre sitcom where he was on a canal boat. It's nine years since Mum died, I miss her every single day (she was my best friend!) So I watch this for her. I miss you Mum!

Music business is as murky as any other. How else could a nonentity like Harry Styles become an international star? Capital Radio for example, played his songs relentlessly over the past year, and dropped his name at least once between every single record they played, like there was some kind of commercially driven campaign to make Harry Styles “happen” by beating audiences into submission.

Especially for those who live in the southern hemisphere, where it's not Christmas during the same period of the year when it's winter.

My absolute favourite song of many good songs by David Essex.

Pure Class! : Excellent!

Shared a flat with a friend who was not the most demonstrably emotional person you could know, but whenever this came on, there would be a cough and a handkerchief would come out. And it resonates with me now, too, due to one person in particular. Yes - it's hugely underappreciated.

Loved this when I first heard it while I was at work its about lost loved but also just as good for lost of Loved one that times taken away. I think muds. lonely this Christmas runs it very close both singers have captured the mood and essence of lose at this time of year sad lose less gray R.I.P

I can't believe I heard it this year for the first time, performing by a brass band. Fell in love instantly, it was released in 1983, the year I was born.

Einer der schönsten Songs, vor ever

Beautiful song, it brings back some beautiful memories but also makes me feel sad.

Take two of the best living English-language songwriters and this is what you get.

This tune is class...
