Slade So here it is Merry Christmas!
Heard it first as a wee lad and the first time I heard it on the radio or in the shops after that I knew it was the start of Christmas!
Haven't heard it in Oz yet................

Hey Poll,

I was wheeling my rusty old wonky shopping trolley around Coles the other day (yep, they'd dredged the lake to retrieve it!) and they were playing some Christmas song by an old time crooner, don't know what it was called but it went;

"I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams"

Those trolleys are hard enough to steer, let alone when you're all misty eyed round the pasta aisle!

Happy Christmas everyone

Last Christmas I downloaded 30 MP3 songs and carols to my laptop shortly before we went away.

Last week I burned the lot to Audio CD - hey presto - a FAB singalong CD which is on in our house a fair bit. Sounds like an advert to the Manilow collection of something(!)

And, thanks to the recommendations of HUP, have got a fantastic 38 buck tree. So feelin very Christmassy.

Fav song : Fairy Tale of New York
