    Walk Out to Winter isn't a Christmas song though is it? Or is this going to be like the argument about Die Hard?

                Only because its on one of the Xmas compilations they play in the place where I've spent the last few Xmases. To be honest, I wasnt even really aware of the song before then that I can recall.
