    The only reason I gave this a listen is because I'm a big fan of Ash and rate Tim Wheeler highly as a songwriter. Still though, a Christmas album? Really?

    This Is Christmas is effectively hate-proof, loved-up, entertaining stuff that strikes just the right balance of humour and heart-tugging.
