Xmas - Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue seems to be one of the hardest working women in the music business, with a successful album Tension to her name, followed by an equally successful Tension II last year and now this Christmas single. She got the UK Christmas number one with this last weekend, and that seems well deserved. 

Unfortunately I have to say that whoever designed the sleeve of this single deserves to be slapped on the wrists for a day or two. It's quite possibly the ugliest christmas single sleeve design I've ever seen. As for the song, it's a catchy tune, perhaps not entirely in tune with most of the Christmas repertoire you'd hear in December - and personally I prefer the B-side. But I've always had a different taste to most people, of course. The gold-coloured vinyl is a nice touch!
