After being very much stuck in the Fifties and Sixties for the first seven songs in the Advent Calendar, let's venture into Modern Times, i.e. the Eighties. Siouxsie & The Banshees' version of the traditional French Christmas carol 'Il est né le divin enfant' was originally released as a double A-side together with 'Melt!' in November 1982. However, the single wasn't very successful so I don't think 'Il est né le divin enfant' made much of an impact at the time, and it wasn't until the band released a B-sides collection in 2004 that the track appeared on CD.
