'In The Bleak Midwinter' - Just Imagine!

Wonderful New Christmas Song ~ 'My Favourite Time of Year'.

There is a new traditional Christmas song ~ the type that make you feel all warm inside, even on the coldest of winter days! Yes a new 'old-fashioned' Christmas song ~ and an independent release, at that! It's by the Florin Street Band and it is called 'My Favourite Time of Year'.

William Shakespeare ~ Did He Hate Christmas?

What did Shakespeare have to say about Christmas? ~ Not very much, it seems. One of his plays is called 'Twelfth Night' ~ which is the 12th day of the Christmas festivities ~ and there is a reference to Christmas night in 'Hamlet'. And that's it. We could add some 'Winter' references ~ there is 'A Winter's Tale' and there are some poems. But why the scarcity of festive compositions???
