Not the Nine Lessons and Carols... Day Nine

It's Christmas Eve. There can be no better way to finish this short, alternative seasonal offering than with the wonderful Christmas Landscape by - who else? - Laurie Lee. Here is the poet himself reading the poem. And if that doesn't get you into the Christmas spirit well... you may need the sort that comes in a bottle.











For music, the late lamented Jake Thackray with a ballad in honour of the quiet man of the nativity, Joseph... just the man I want to remember this Christmas midnight...









Happy Christmas!
