So, dear and gentle reader*, here's wishing you a splendid and very merry Christmas. Thanks for being here this year and for all your comments and contributions to this blog. It's not the same without you. Anyway, here are Shane and Kirsty performing one of the few Christmas songs worth a damn.
*Not actually a description that fits all of you but, hey, season of goodwill to all men and all that...

The best Christmas ballad ever, so fitting for our useless age on a drip of avarice.
Have the Merriest and Happiest ever, and best luck for the 365 days that follow.

December 26th, 2009 8:19pm Report this commentI have absolutely no idea why this song tops most of the Christmas (or for that matter any other) polls.
Perhaps I'm starting from the wrong place with it...

Maybe there is a subliminal message that just isn't getting through to me.
