• We Need a Little Christmas

    21 December 2012 /

    I\’ve been trying to come up with an appropriate holiday post but the spirit keeps flitting away from me. All I know is, this song has been in my head these past two weeks, and I think, given the overall global circumstances, it is highly appropriate: 

    Haul out the holly
    Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
    Fill up the stocking
    I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now

    For we need a little Christmas
    Right this very minute
    Candles in the window
    Carols at the spinet

    Yes, we need a little Christmas
    Right this very minute
    It hasn\’t snowed a single flurry
    But Santa, dear, we\’re in a hurry

    So climb down the chimney
    Turn on the brightest string of light I\’ve ever seen
    Slice up the fruitcake
    It\’s time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough

    For I\’ve grown a little leaner
    Grown a little colder
    Grown a little sadder
    Grown a little older

    And I need a little angel
    Sitting on my shoulder
    Need a little CHristmas now

    For we need a little music
    Need a little laughter
    Need a little singing
    Ringing through the rafter

    And we need a little snappy
    \”Happy ever after\”
    Need a little Christmas now.

    Have a Happy Christmas
    (or the holiday of your choice)
    and a Great New Year
    See you in 2013!

    For those out there (both of you) who have never heard this song or are otherwise unfamiliar with the tune, I have included this video. I was hoping for a better, more festive and familiar one, but this is the only one I could find on YouTube that did not begin with a 30-second advertisement for an iPad or HSBC or was otherwise simply a jumble of nonsense some jackass uploaded, which sort of feeds into what I\’m getting at:

    Oh, and when I attached the video, I put the URL in the box and the search came up with the following:

    What on earth Interactive Sex has to do with a Christmas song is beyond me, 
    but again, it simply emphasizes what I\’m feeling about the season.
