Personally, I prefer this song to "Mistletoe & Wine", and it's the flute that does it for me, although I'm not entirely sure whether it's a real or synthesized flute?
Unlike Cliff's previous and aforementioned 80s Christmas hit which was penned in the summer months, this one was written in October 1989 by singer/songwriter Chris Eaton, who also provided the backing vocals on Roger Daltrey's 1987 solo album Can't Wait To See The Movie.
However, the video was shot before this on a warm and sunny September day, so, once again, it would have been pretty difficult to get into the festive spirit, and everyone must have been pretty hot wearing all of that winter gear!
However, by 19th January Cliff's festive tune had already left the Top 40, falling to #53.
