Neo you got a natural way of tackling any song it is nice to listen to.
Jandle your Christmas songs are choice bringing a Kiwi experience of Christmas to the world. Very much an Ozzy style of Christmas also in some ways.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
Kev I have no idea who came up with this good thought. I am not sure where I first heard this thought on life.I think Doug has found it's origins. My older sister who is twelve years older than me went to school with Quakers and maybe I heard it from her. A friend of mine was brought up in the United States Amish but he left it when he became a man Imight have got the saying from him.

Kaua e mate wheke mate ururoa
Don't die like a octopus, die like a hammerhead shark
Octopus are renown for their lack of resistance when being captured, however a hammerhead shark will fight bitterly to the end, to the point that when you fillet it fresh, its meat quivers. Commonly used to encourage someone not to give up, no matter how hard the struggle is.

A good Christmas song you wrote EB. I also like the photo of the Pohutukawa tree in flower with your song. For those who don't know what a Pohutukawa trees is. The Pohutukawa tree with its crimson flower has become an established part of the New Zealand Christmas tradition. It only flowers on or around Christmas and New Years.

Thank you Tig I should thank Irving Berlin for the tune. My guitarist who wants to be called Robert Anonymous for his playing.
"White Christmas" is a 1942 Irving Berlin song reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. The version sung by Bing Crosby is the world's best-selling single with estimated sales in excess of 100 million copies worldwide. Other versions of the song, along with Crosby's, have sold over 150 million copies. Here is me with my version with the lyrics Guitar Christmas selling no copies worldwide.
