Thread Name: Depressing Christmas Songs
Subject: RE: Depressing Christmas Songs
My mother discovered quite early on how to ‘discipline’ me, after my father had died, when I was eight. If I was particularly naughty she would play The Little Boy that Santa Claus Forgot. The lines

‘I’m so sorry for that laddie,
He hasn’t got a daddy.
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot’,

were guaranteed to make me cry. I’ll never forgive her for that.
