While shepherds moshed: A Musical Advent Calendar: Day 18 - TOTP

Xmas is a time when it's easy to get nostalgic and think of Xmasses past. And one can't, as a Brit, do that without thinking about the Xmas edition of Top of the Pops and the Xmas number 1.As important a moment in the day as the Queen's Speech! Here are Wizzard presented by the late (and not particualrly great in my book) Jimmy Saville.

One brilliant little detail that was mentioned on a blog I read. Xmas songs often begin with the sound of sleigh bells. Here it's the ringing of a cash register.
A few minutes of sheer pop genius!

My pal Tim is singing in a carol concert this evening at the English church here and he asked if I'd like to come. But I'm afraid the whole ex-pat scene is anathema to me. I see myself as an ex-ex-pat. In fact, more of a XXX-Pat.
