'Does he ride a red-nose reindeer,Does a ton-up on his sleigh,
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is, merry Christmas...
Now I realise what I miss about Christmas in the UK - the continuous wall to wall sounds of glam rock songs from the 70's. As a teenager of the 70's I enjoyed the songs then, but how many times over the years have I heard songs from those glam pop years, the 'highlight' being 1973 with Christmas songs from Slade, Wizard and Elton John.
We are obviously missing everything about Christmas in the UK, but we are not left in any doubt that it is Christmas, our diary is full of choir performances, church, school & hospital services, carolling evenings and concerts - including Handel's Messiah on Christms Day. P

At least you know the words! That is he first time I have understood them.
I wish you a real blessed New Year and God's richest of blessings in the year ahead.
"I said to the man that stood at the gate of the year,give me a light that I might tread safely into the unknown and he replied go out into the darkness and put you hand into the hand of GOD that shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way." (I learnt these words in the days before Slade!) Love Janet x
