A Very Merry Christmas to All......

[pharvey]

Very best wishes for the festive season to one and all on the forum...... Even those Grinches amongst you (try & have some fun)!

Thank you pharvey, and the same to you!
I'm a Grinch, and Christmas Carols really take me back to primary school Christmas plays, particularly Silent Night.

But this fellow does it right:

Merry Christmas all!

This reminds me of family gatherings

I am not religious at all, in fact a confirmed atheist! But tonight there has been a documentary on True Cable TV presented by Simon Callow, that follows the origin of Silent Night and how it became to be the Worlds most revered Christmas Carol.(I believe it has been broadcast here previously)

You do not have to be religious to be moved by this Christmas Carol, as it is about a child that could have been any of our own. There are hundreds of renderings on the Internet, although I must admit that I do not agree with the version by John and Anne Barber that has been tacked on to the end of the documentary.

For anyone that has been or is going to Salzburg, there is a museum located in the city dedicated to Silent Night.

One of my favourite Christmas numbers (Shane McGowan always makes me feel like 'Hansom Man'..... lol)

Merry Christmas to all.

it's my favourite Christmas number too, but indeed it's better to listen than to watch, lol.

Merry Christmas you punks, old sluts on junk, maggots, faggots, bums & arses!

Only 30 minutes until the magic midnight, so Merry Christmas from me and the BB family. I hope you get all that you wish for.

I hope you get all that you wish for.

Nope..... Booked on a flight back to Mauritania.

Best wishes anyway!!

Yes, Merry Christmas to all, we managed to have a fine dinner down town and a few drinks so all is well for what I've just realised is my 16th Christmas in Hua Hin.
