Well to be honest I don't overdo the cheese during the year but I always enjoy indulging at Christmas.
I have done for 37 years
But the wars and battles in the world never seem to be over....
Now it's officially Christmas Eve in the UK....
And it will soon be New Year..
And for those that remember what it was like. The last time the Beatles spent Christmas together on record.
Hmmm.

I don't know how things are in your part of the world, but I would say that in Australia Happy Xmas (War Is Over) has been accepted as a genuine Christmas classic for quite a few years now. I cant say the same about Wonderful Christmastime, although you do hear it occasionally (and I think it is far from the worst Christmas song around). Ringo's Christmas material would be unknown here except to fellow Beatles nuts.

And if I already wasn't in the Christmas spirit, that article and the comments just killed it for good.

Ringo's Christmas material would be unknown here except to fellow Beatles nuts. It's probably equal between John & Paul's Christmas Songs here on Merseyside. They are both on the Christmas Classics list. Ringo's songs never get played here either even though he did a full album of Christmas songs. I don't think I've heard George's Ding Dong either on radio. Perhaps ever? As for the Beatle's Christmas 1969 message. Was it actually their last released record as a working band? Oh and Merry Crimble to ye all!!
