for the Christmas Season...
three of my favourite songs which are sad in their own way, yet
full of hope..
which is what Christmas is about... 
Fairytale of New York
- The Pogues with Kirsty McColl
the boys of the NYPD
were singing Galway Bay
and the bells were ringing out
for Christmas Day
Do They Know It's
Christmas? - Band-Aid
but save a prayer
a prayer for the other ones
at Christmas time
it's hard but when you're having fun
there's a world outside your window
and it's a world of dread and fear
and the only water flowing is
the bitter sea of tears
and the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
well, tonight thank God it's them
instead of you..
and there won't be snow in Africa
this Christmas time
and the greatest gift they'll get this year
is life
where nothing ever grows
no rain or rivers flow
do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Happy Christmas (War
is Over) - John Lennon
a very merry Christmas
and a happy New Year
let's hope it's a good one
without any fear
