Xfm's Merry Mixmas

added 28 November 2008 at 10.24

Is it Christmas? Yup, think so. It's now December, so Xfm is mulling the wine, decking the halls and wassailing in time for the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. And as other stations (and every shop under the sun) is blaring out the awful, over-exposed strains of Michael George, Slade and East-bloody-17, we thought we'd treat you with a marvellous mix of Xfm-friendly festive tuneage.
