Thomas Howells reviews Welsh country artist, Eleri Angharad’s seasonal offering, Homemade Christmas from her EP, A Very Eleri Christmas.
‘Homemade Christmas‘ is a beautiful song that captures the true meaning and purpose of Christmas.
Lines such as ‘If this is Christmas, it’s the best one every time’ and ‘If this is Christmas, I dont need a silent night’ capture how Christmas is always an incredible time regardless of who or where you are and what’s going on.
The song emphasises how Christmas’ importance is really in the people you spend it with and your loved ones, not material possessions.
Angharad manages to capture the essence and meaning of Christmas with this incredible single.

You can listen to this song and three other new recordings on A Merry Eleri Christmas. Other tracks include Santa’s Little Helper, a country twist of Justin Bieber’s Mistletoe and the all-time classic Santa Baby.
The releases is available on Spotify, Apple music, Amazon Music, iTunes, Deezer and shazam along with other songs by Eleri Angharad. If you prefer a physical CD, you can purchase one at https://eleriangharadmusic.com/shop.
Eleri will also feature in her Christmas show at the Perch in Swansea on Thursday, 9 of December, 2021 at 7pm. Tickets are available via Eventbrite.
