So yes, it's time! This album gets better and better every year. I still think Robbie doesn't use a great opportunity to promote this album. So many GREAT songs on it! Just heard Best Cristmas Ever and Rudolph... Come on, it's so easy to be on a radio during Xmas period. Very stylish and very classical at the same time. Yes, it's one of Robbie's best album and Xmas albums so far. Wish him and this album much more attention and rotations. Very underrated.

My favourites are Yeah, it's Christmas (bloody genius lyrics and retro feel to it), Rudolph, Coco's Christmas lullaby, Soul Transmission, Fairytales, and It's a Wonderful Life also special mention to this genius video -so capturing the covid period. I watched it three times before I realised RW was Boris Johnson X4BTaYbsX-s?si=0KD_uonVQpeeh4aT

But even Last Christmas haven't bene a Number 1 during 30+ years so The Christmas Present will be back in 20-30 years )))) I would safe 3 covers on it: Bryan Adams duet, Chestnuts Roasting...(because It has a quality Is Swing 1 like One For My Baby), and maybe Merry Xmas Everybody but better they would record Have Yourself... My faves: One Last Christmas (how cool his voice sounds here! my friends think it's Elvis), Rudolph, Can't Stop Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Fairytales, Bad Sharon. Again even 6 songs have different styles. Again, it's amazing album of tons of wonderful tracks. I say thank Mr Williams for this record! Yes, maybe Robbie's Top-3 album for me.

For some reason I thought it would be full of cringe covers but actually the originals are like a proper studio album. I’ve made a separate playlist for them, which I’ve had on for the commute, and I’m really loving it now. Particularly Rudolph, Home, Best Christmas Ever, Merry Kissmas and Idlewild.
