A Missing Christmas Single

Back in the mid 1980s, there was a Christmas single about a woman having a nervous breakdown (or similar crisis) at Christmas. It came out around about the same times as the Waitresses' "Christmas Wrapping".

It was an excellent single, providing a little bit of balance in this irritatingly upbeat time. (Happy Credit Crunch Christmas! Hee...)

Thing is, I have no idea who it was by or what it was called. It doesn't get wheeled out on an annual basis (leaving Wham! as the most depressing Christmas song going...)

Any clues out there in internetland?

Things Fall Apart by Cristina?

Can't help you with that one, but David Essex's A Winter's Tale wins my prize for most depressing song of the festive season.

Could be... but what I have in my mind is slower and darker than the version I've just listened to!
