LIST 139 - 25/12/14 (a Christmas selection)

Hello again,

Just about the most self-explanatory List I do every year - the usual 70-odd minutes' worth of festive-oriented selections offered up as an antidote to what, I'm given to understand on social media, was a particularly wretched Top of the Pops Christmas edition earlier today.  Not much Auto-tuning amongst this assortment!

Best wishes of the season to one and all,

J xx
