The first major contender for Christmas number one has arrived in the most unexpected wrapping. Let The Snowflakes Fall by Monaghan man Ultan Sherry is just something to behold. He's managed to shoehorn all the vital of elements of classic Christmas songs into this catchy dittie: Santa, snow, bells, the quickest pronunciation of "Rudolph",  a bay-by in a manger, spinning baubles, calendar pointing, and... Christmas plums.

That's right, in the soon to be immortal words of Mr. Sherry: "Get out the Christmas plums, 'cause Santa Claus will have been on his rounds".

Be warned, it's a catchy little bugger.
