"Xmas 93" is a Christmas-themed single by English alternative dance band Saint Etienne. It was released in the United Kingdom on 6 December 1993 by Heavenly Recordings. The lead track "I Was Born on Christmas Day" features guest vocals from The Charlatans singer Tim Burgess, and peaked at number 37 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] The song's title is a nod to band member Bob Stanley, who was born on 25 December 1964.[citation needed] The music video for the single was filmed in the vicinity of Kensington and Chelsea Register Office in London.
