25th - "Merry Xmas Everybody"

Cheltenham, Glos

(Slade's Christmas No. 1 from 1973)

One of the best Christmas songs ever (IMHO of course!)...a catchy beat and sing-along lyrics which make you smile and feel happy, what more could you want at this time of year?

"Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It’s the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?"

Black Country class!

Well, young Finn has plumped for what all right-minded Pbasers would go for - some new photographical toys (as well as the usual PC and Xbox games...pah!). Being a tight Scotsman, I wonder if 'Santa' would rather investigate the January sales and see if he could snag a bargain for the lad...you never know, there might be some corkers to be had on-line :o)

From all of us here, we wish you a merry Christmas and a peaceful, prosperous and happy New Year

Phwoar - mince pies, don't mind if I do :o)) You'll have to hope they start the January sales on Boxing day - before the VAT goes back up - bah, humbug! Hope you're still having a merry one... :o)

Nice circles. Wish Santa would listen to me. I had to treat myself (new Rebel XTi).
Merry Christmas, if you've been a good boy I'm sure he'll remember you.
