Russell Davies addresses some seasonal themes, with music from Bing Crosby, Barbra Streisand and Louis Armstrong's reading of The Night Before Christmas.

For his final programme before Christmas, Russell Davies addresses some seasonal themes and amplifies them with appropriate songs, some of them, quite rare. A new 7 CD release of Bing Crosby rarities is examined in depth and Russell remembers a famous recording made 60 years ago to the day - Teresa Brewer's Music! Music! Music!
