Wavelength Music Special: The Christmas Pot Pourri

A Christmas Pot Pourri

Ho Ho Ho, and a warm welcome to the Wavelength Christmas Pot Pourri Special.  It's a random jumble of silent nights in several languages, grumpy old men moaning and two hours of Christmas music from around the world - the essential soundtrack, in fact, to your Christmas cooking and consumption.  

Wavelength, and all of us here at Sapphire FM, wish you, your family and friends the happiest of Christmases.
