The Gift of Christmas (song) "The Gift of Christmas" is a 1995 charity single by supergroup Childliners, with the proceeds of the single going to Childline. The song was written by Tony Mortimer of East 17. In a similar ilk to "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid, the song features popular chart acts such as MN8, Boyzone, East 17, Backstreet Boys, Dannii Minogue, Peter Andre and more. It peaked at number 9 on the UK Singles Chart, number 10 in Ireland and number 7 in Scotland. A
Do Ya/Stay with Me Chart at number 18 after both physical and digital releases of the song was made available. This marked the first time McFly had ever missed the UK top 10. Previously, their lowest-charting single had been "Ultraviolet/The Ballad of Paul K", which peaked at number nine. The single then dropped straight down to number 54 the following week and dropped out of the top 100 altogether during its third week. Staying in the chart for only two weeks, this also broke yet another band record, setting an all-time low, as the single is the shortest-lasting one in the UK top 100.
