A sentimental but rather sweet look at a rather well known atheists view of Christmas. Ahhh.. Tim, we love you, ya big soppy git.

And you can buy it from iTunes

I love this song and the works of Mr Minchin. He played this in Sheffield a few months ago…I wanted him to do “Not Perfect” which is a classic – http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=CDGuPp1np4o
Happy everyone!
Very nice Phillis
Awesome. So gonna spread this.
Oooh you made me cry – you swines !
In a couple of days, fingers crossed, my son will be coming home for Crimbo & I couldn’t give a toss about trees, gifts, turkeys or anything else. Getting to give him a big hug is the best prezzy I could ever have !
If we have beans on toast for Christmas dinner well at least we wont go hungry.
I’m not religious, but I like the songs too.
“He-e who would valiant be ‘gainst all dee-sas-ter”
Feeling better now
Tim’s trying to get into the charts with this! he knows he’s not likely to make the top ten, but if everyone buys a copy then he shoudl chart somewhere! Think it only needs 7000 people to get into the Top 40! As far as I know, only iTunes downloads count though…
Aww, lovely. I’d rather this got to number one instead of RATM or the X Factor one. Hence I bought it.
This song is lovely, I’m definately going to buy it
Wouldn’t it be fabulous if it made xmas number #1?
I have a one-year-old daughter, so this will definately make it into my xmas every year. Beautiful sentiment.
I’m usually so cynical, but I’m going really gooey inside
I love this song!!! I thought you’d like TIm Minchin
he’s so awesome xxx
Do all atheists like hyms?
Brilliant song, now available as a single on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/white-wine-in-the-sun/id345894009?i=345894011
How lovely would it be if this got into the Christmas chart?
Everyone, buy this song! Get it in the charts for christmas as a rebellion against Rage against the machine!
Big soppy applause …..
He’s great! Missed my chance to see him in southampton as other half was ill! Will be seeing him next year though!

This is the first song I have ever bought from iTunes. Because Tim is that awesome
I lost interest in this bloke when he sang “canvas bags” – not only did he arrive in his car – a planet killer apparently – but as he raved about banning plastic which would plunge the medical profession into the dark ages and increase aids problems around the world through the lack of condoms available – he then released hundreds of helium filled balloons into the theatre – a well known bird animal and turtle killer. So he can go swivel.
It’s nice to see a comedian that has songs that have merit on their own, rather than just in the context of a joke.
On a similar Xmas theme, Half Man Half Biscuits ‘It’s Clichéd to be Cynical at Christmas’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRDJgn68h1A , helps kick the scrooge out of me!
There is currently a campaign to get Tim into the Christmas charts. If everyone bought the single fron iTunes twice he would have an excellent chance of being in the top 40. Care to make that happen? It is a beautiful song afterall, a rare thing these days.
Aww, beautiful……

What a tune, nearly made me cry. Will share it as much as possible with my 8 twitter friends and my 40 facebook friends. So not very much sharing really.
I saw him play this live at the Wedgewood rooms in Portsmouth, he always ends his set with a meaningful song. This was so beautiful to listen too.
I’ve now bought this song thrice on itunes to get it higher in the charts. I love it so much. Can’t wait for Tim’s next tour
Am I the only person in the world who doesn’t “get” Minchin?!
He looks like a bad tranny, terrible hair (even Russell Brands is better than that) More eye liner than ME?!
And he sounds like James Blunt…
I love Tim Minchin I am completely obssesed and this song is one of my favs.
Ahhh i bloody love Tim minchin and Derren Brown! I plan to buy this at some point
. I just ordered rock and roll nerd aswell.
Not perfect\’s quite soppy too but i love it.

I must learn this… hooray for internet sheet music
Loved him for ages
Never knew you where into him 
My two favourite people 
Ive bought my copy

This was my favourite Christmas song last year. I heard this live for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I still love it. Must pop off any buy it!
Have to say this blog turned me onto Tim, and have since either ordered or gotten what there was to get a hold of (I don’t do the itunes thing, due to being a linux user) by him. This song explains exactly how I feel about christmas, I kind of like the memories I have with the holiday, even if I don’t agree with the whole Pagan/Christian/Capitalism side of it. Before he made me laugh, today he makes me cry… but with a smile on my face.
‘i’d rather break bread with dawkins than desmond tutu…to be honest’
what an awesome guy
just as long as ANYTHING BUT EFFING XFACTOR gets to the top i won’t mind :p
