    A new Christmas song out December 5th 2011. Download it at iTunes: or Amazon.

    This Christmas song is now the theme to ITV's Text Santa appeal and 100% of profits from UK downloads will be donated to the nine Text Santa charities and Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, this Christmas. Please share this video with your friends and help us make the Christmas charts by buying the song from iTunes or Amazon from December 5th 2011.

    This Victorian-themed Christmas song and video was produced without record company backing. After trying to gain record company support, British composer, Leigh Haggerwood, decided to make it happen himself so he gathered together his musician friends and wrote, produced and sung this Christmas songs. The video features the skills of top director Nick Bartleet and Cinematographer John Perez (known for his work on Coldplay's Viva La Vida, Beyoncé and many other productions). You can help spread some Christmas magic so please visit our website and join us on Facebook.

    Thanks for your support and best wishes for Christmas 2011!

    An excuse for ITV to promote DOI & XFactor contestants whilst making money under the guise it is for Charity.
    Not too mention presented by Schofield & Bleakley ARGH!

    Oh and Bleakley is so ugly it beggars belief she is even on TV

    I'm sure Holly Willoughby was lined up for this with Phil but she got dumped when she defected to the BBC for The Voice, and this is a try-out for the Phil-Bleakley partnership for DOI in January!!!

    What is there not to understand, you text either Santa1 Santa5 or Santa10 to donate £1, £5 or £10 (no extra charges) to help a mix of charities.
