The Pretenders - "2000 Miles" (1983)
Released in November 1983, the British/American band was moderately successful at No15 in the UK charts with this song about the death of their guitarist in 1982.
However, despite being a song dedicated to the loss of a friend, it has since become a popular British Christmas anthem.
Chrissie Hynde famously fronts the band. Born in Ohio, she has since become a British citizen...

Jona Lewie - "Stop the Cavalry" (1980)
This heart-wrenching tale based on true events relates the story of a young British soldier in a trench in WWI at Christmas longing to get back to the girl he loves as he ducks German machine gun fire.
The song highlights the pointlessness and tragedy of a war which killed millions of young men over a few miles of Flanders mud.
Despite the dark lyrics, the song has become a Bit ritish Christmas anthem...
