Subject: RE: Dusting off Xmas repertoire
Whoa ...and what a hoot...Ha! You guys (meaning any gender) have come up with some gems. What fun,to cast the net and to pull out such plentitude.

But - you poor dears having to sing songs which connect to the cold bleak clime almost upon you (gloating). I guess that's how the euphemism of "Xmas Cheer" (aka spirit as in alcohol) has come about.

It's interesting how the Northern Hemisphere/European end of year Xmas has tailored and formed so many of our traditional Western songs.

Meantime - down in the deepest lightest furtherest south (NZ actually) the sun is just thinking about setting. The birds are tweeting wonderfully - no doubt discussing matters of great intellectual depth with their fledglings. The leaves/flowers are sprouting wonderfully - the spirit of new life is everwhere.

Now where did I put that bottle of cider. Ana
