Thanks for an excellent article about a much under-rated single. I also seem to remember the obsession on the Steve Wright afternoon show on Radio 1 with the even-more-Christmassy ‘Yuletide Sleigh Mix’, complete with its corny spoken intro (recently released on CD for the first time on this re-release: http://tinyurl.com/Jason-Donovan-CDs)
