Merry Christmas Everybody
at Christmastime the old songs are the best
This Christmas song by Slade is a lot more recent than I thought it was ~ like 1980. And you know what? You can dance to this ~ but only if you must.
There is quite a good pun in the lyrics.
Enjoy listening and watching.
Merry Christmas.

Rudolf with your nose so bright
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight

Lindisfarne ~Winter Song
who are we as human beings
if we ignore the suffering of others?
At this time, perhaps above all others, we should remember the suffering of those less fortunate than we. Lindisfarne once was the home of a Holy Priory, Saint Cuthbert dwelt there. Spare a penny.
Lindisfarne, The Holy Island, holds an important place in the heart of all Christians from the very North of England.
Please listen with charity in your heart.

Silent Night
the singing of carols is forbidden
and all the churches are closed
Here in England we do not have a written constitution, else our government might not be so fast to remove from us those inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nor the right to worship our God. But, the ancient tradition of caroling is now forbidden. as is the breaking of bread with family and friends.
Please listen with a little reverence.
I hope you remember the Gaelic.
There’s some Irish in all of us.

as well as caroling
try quaffing and wassailing
All Alone At Christmas
a simple phone call
that’s all it takes to make someone’s Christmas
Because of all the Covid crap I will be spending Christmas alone in the garret. Except that’s not true ~ there is the telephone, email, and video chat. These days one never need to be really alone ~ not unless you want to be.
Please watch the video as well as listening to the music.
Some things are just funny, and maybe this one is.
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

you’re never alone with a Wilson
Peace at Christmastime
you are never alone if you have a loyal bear
Marmy and I have darkened the garret and we are listening to Loreena McKennitt on the record player. Harp, viola, and mezzo soprano fill the garret with music.
Merry Christmas to one and all.
Love to all here.

Christmas will soon be upon us
pray that Santa has clear skies
Christmas Music ~ Wizzard
let the bells ring out loud and clear
for Christmas is almost here
I’m not certain that I would wish for Christmas every day ~ you can get too much of a good thing. Believe it or not, it is possible to dance to this track ~ if you are young, fit, and fleet of foot. This song is just for a very special friend.
And I can still dance like Fred Astaire.
At least I can spell ‘Wizard’ on my business card.

I wonder if I need a new tux for Christmas?
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Wonderful Christmastime
Christmas is the day that holds all time together
This is the kind of song that gets played as background music in English pubs at Christmas. When the pubs here were allowed to open.
There is nothing quite so good as the fireside in your favourite pub at Christmastime.
A few friends, good conversation, a beer or three…..
The cat by the fire, as usual.

a cat will always find the best spot in the place, especially when Santa is due
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Cliff Richard
if Jesus is all you have, you have all you need
Here in England, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without some Cliff Richard playing on the wireless as we sit around the fireside after dinner.
And this Friday is The Saviour’s Day.
Even governments cannot take the the true spirit of Christmas away from us.
No matter how hard they may try.
Listen with pleasure.

’tis always darkest just before the dawn
Tunes on Tuesday ~ Harry Belafonte
and a star rose in the East
In these difficult times perhaps we should remember the true Spirit of Christmas. Mary’s Boy Child, Jesus Christ.
Harry Belafonte had a voice.
And he knew how to sing.
Have joy in your heart.
