I've had this little number since its 1993 release and completely forgot about it until I saw a mention of it on the Power Pop blog the other day. The poet and author is also a power popper, and this sweet little bopper is from his first solo album, The Greatest Living Englishman, produced by Andy Partridge, who knows a thing or two about Christmas singles himself. Points for mentioning "saturnalia" in a song otherwise about a too-conventional holiday just outside the city.
