Fionn Regan – IslandsI could put on any Fionn Regan album at any time on Christmas Day and it would be perfect. Ronnie Lane’s Slim Chance – Harvest HomeI play this album on Christmas Day a lot. The Waitresses – Christmas WrappingThe pacing of this classic Christmas song is of a fast enough variety that tearing through the presents should prove no issue. So I have a vision of my sister and my mum and my niece Kitty dancing around the house on Christmas Day to Les Fleurs.
