Somehow sir, I knew you would pick up on the Classics...
Refreshing to see a ’traditional’ image conveying the magic of Christmas, which we all remember so well.
Here’s a contemporary version.
In the spirit of Christmas this one sadly strikes home. Maybe when you lads are a bit older ill tell ya the tale.
I get that, but the reality is for a freight train like this to pick up enough steam to launch it into the stratosphere we need to start early.
Also i just wanted yall to know that when im at work i jump on this thread at breaks just so i can read the comments and make my day less mundane. Yall dont dissapoint.
I bought the entire series on DVD right before lockdown and it really helped get us through!
Also have Summer Wine, & too bad they pulled the plug so fast, Hobbo was great. 'Getting Sam Home' was a favorite!
The following was written by a guy I only know online, but I enjoy much of the content he puts out. I thought this was an appropriate song to post here. Link to the original here.
I wrote this poem as a Christmas song to convince my kids that Santa would rather have beer and tobacco than cookies and milk. Just needs some music, is all.
A cold Christmas Eve with a warm moonlit glow
A quiet night soft with the fresh-fallen snow
Inside, out of reach from the cold winter air
Santa’s stuffing the stockings with care
The kids left a glass and a plate piled high
But Santa just pulls on his beard with a sigh
It’s a been a long night, still there’s hours to go
And he’d rather have beer and tobacco
CHORUS
Oh, milk is okay if you don’t drive a sleigh
But a cold ale would warm Santa’s toes
And cookies are fine if you’re staying inside
But a corncob would thaw Santa’s nose
Rudolph got oats from the neighbor next door
And Santa’s already had cookies galore
The last thing he wants is an after-school snack
O, give Santa some beer and tobacco
CHORUS
His pipe can’t be packed full of ready-rubbed holly
And milk won’t make anyone’s cheeks red or jolly
Kids, put down the chocolate chip cookies this year
Please leave Santa tobacco and beer
CHORUS
Santa’s eyes never twinkle so bright as they do
When he’s half a bowl in while he’s sipping a brew
Eat the cookies yourself, kids, I promise I know
Santa really wants beer and tobacco

Raise your hand if you want a nice, moist aromatic!
I thought there were reindeer on my roof this morning, but it was just these guys.
I think this or something darn close could become the official "song" of Secret Santa!
