discoinfernal Not only can There Will Be Fireworks return after ten years with a serious AOTY contender, they can also write Christmas music that doesn't suck. Truly their powers are without limit. (Seriously though, these songs make a nice winter epilogue to the last album and easily hold up with their best work.) Favorite track: No Christmas Bells.

dennyone I don't believe in God, but I do believe in love and humanity and the positive, transformative power of music. Our world needs your music. Thank you and all the people who do good.

largotom Missed these guys first time round but stumbled on a couple of tracks while browsing. They are just so good! His voice makes your heart melt and the melody is so mellow. Please tour soon!! Favorite track: No Christmas Bells.

This weather’s getting old And Tinseltown is grey And work, it gets me nowhere I need a holiday But the Christmas lights are on In the home that we have built And the love that we’ve put in it Is all that matters still And it’s not like me to say this And I know you never asked But you know you are the greatest And there’s a time for saying that When the kids are in their beds And the tv flickers on And we stumble round the kitchen Dancing to those Christmas songs I’m done with looking back There will be time for that A movie reel of memories Shines golden through the black Next year will be our year I feel it in my bones But for these short few hours For once we are alone No Christmas bells are ringing No star in Glasgow’s sky No choir of angels singing But who needs that tonight? If this is all there is It’s all there needs to be A simple quiet moment Unfolding happily

Outside the snow is falling No message on the line No work and no illusions Just time and good red wine The houses all resplendent Our sparkled shining tree This Christmas is forever This one’s for you and me And maybe I'll sing a little thing Some half-remembered hymn It's here and it's gone But aren't we all? In you I see my future In you all plans align Full moons and southern summers Bad dreams and sleepless night And all those Christmas mornings And all good things to come Please keep the snow from falling On us, the lucky ones
