This week's theme is 'What is Your Favourite Holiday Music?' My all time favourite Christmas song is "I Believe in Father Christmas" by Greg Lake. It was written in 1974, but this version is from a 1994 TV special. Coming from England, the line "...but instead it just kept on raining" was so apt and I've always liked this song because of that, and its overall simplicity and unsentimentality - a welcome antidote to the over commercialisation of the season!
Your Tuesday questions are: -
- Who shot and killed John Lennon today in 1980?
- Kim Basinger (right) was born today in 1953 and won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for which 1997 film?
- In which country was artist Lucien Freud born today in 1922?

That's a wonderful song, Pete! At first I thought I never heard it before but after checking out your link to the video, I realized that I have...I just didn't recognize the title. I agree, that is a pleasant antidote to the over-commercialization of the season.
Here's your click, Pete! :)
Great song, just wonderful. I do agree that Christmas is really too commercialized now. It should be about love, family and baby Jesus.
Here's your click ........

Hmm, hadn't thought about that song, but it is a good choice, and after you mentioned the Christmas special it was on, I remembered where I had heard it from. I clicked and hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Thanks, never heard of that song. But really like it!
Great Song Choice! I've never heard that one before and I had to listen to it twice!
