Shiny baubles, glitter dresses, candlelight, fake cheer and kitsch; nothing is as fitting for glam rock as Christmas. So it makes sense that it's a recurring theme, especially since the Seventies when Slade stormed the charts in 1973 with the classic 'Merry Xmas Everybody'. Many other Christmas glam hits followed and exactly thirty years later The Darkness did it again with their unparalleled hit 'Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End)'. Krazy Krissie's original 'A Glam Christmas' may not become quite as successful, but it's a brave and entertaining attempt nonetheless.
On this blog, we always had a glittery eye on Glam Xmas, see posts like THIS one, and THIS one.
