Somehow, I managed to survive another December hell at work. Bloody but unbowed. Well, maybe not bloody, but bloody tired, and I can see myself just chilling out until I have to show up again on December 29. I'm literally too tired to think at the moment, and I'm trying to keep myself from going on a hate-filled rant about certain work-related things and people that I've got a really serious problem with right now. Maybe four days away will allow me to cope when we return after the festivities.
I've also got about three weeks of beard to remove this evening - I couldn't shave for a while due to a cold sore (or rather, two cold sores) and I decided to keep it until today. It's been cold out - we got down to minus 7 a couple of nights ago - so I've been glad of the extra insulation.
We're apparently odds-on for a White Christmas in this part of the world, and it's certainly a snowy scene outside. As usual, December 25 will be just another day in my house, but if you are celebrating, I hope it's a very merry one for you and yours.
I've been looking for this clip for ages and am glad I found it, it's from the first Top Of The Pops in 1975 and is the "other" performance of this song on the show. The band Mud (who my sister liked at the time) played the song dead straight the first time they were on, but for this one they took things a lot less seriously... and it always makes me smile, despite it being a sad one. Merry X...
MUD - LONELY THIS CHRISTMAS

A great song, by a great band.
It certainly is... and the fact it was still #1 for a couple of weeks into January '75 shows just how good it was :)
