I really do not like that song but it does hold some wonderful memories for me. Christmas 1977 spent in a remote farm house on Llandefalle Hill near Brecon.
Sounds like a kidnapping

Luckily my parents managed to get the £1.50 ransom fee together, a lot of money back in the dark days of 1977 I can tell you..
Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.

Has anyone posted this masterpiece yet?

White Christmas - Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

This is one of my favourite Xmas songs.
I think it exemplifies(if that's a word)
what I think about it all.

I don't really give a flying fuck, I gave up having any interest in the charts and by association the Xmas number one many years ago.
