"Rocking around the xmas tree!" always gets me in the spirit!!
The Pogues is my ringotne EVERY xmas!!
And this song:
IM SENDING A LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS
Vera Lynn - 1939
I met a little fellow with a letter in his hand
He asked me if Id post it in the box for Fairyland
I slipped it in the mailbox for that little curly head
It seemed to make him very happy as he smiled, and said
Im sending a letter to Santa Claus
My letter I hope hell receive
Oh, I wonder if he will please remember me
When he calls on Christmas Eve
^Hell get a lot of letters for playthings
>From other girls and boys
But I want my soldier daddy
Hes better than all the toys
And so Im sending my letter to Santa Claus
To bring daddy safely home to me
simply cos it reminds that xmas isnt always so great for everyone!
