Listening to Christmas CD in car in Doha

Now I know to a lot of you this will not be strange. But listening to White Christmas and the likes in the Qatar heat (winter version of heat of course) is a bit confusing.
Nice to see some crimbo decorations appearing in some shops now though.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go;

Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again, with candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, toys in every store.

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door.

"There's a world outside your window

And it's a world of dreaded fear

Where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears

And the christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this christmas time

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

Where nothing ever grows

No rain or rivers flow

Do they know it's christmas time at all? ...."

ohhhhh the song's playing in my head now... :)

By Alumnar• 30 Nov 2010 11:07
Alumnar

ohhhhhhhhhhh TB!!!

'There's a world outside your window...'

Xmas spirit is in the air!!! Oh yes!!!!!

Now I am thinking of Wham's 'Last Christmas' song - another all time favourite of mine :))))))

At christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy!

Throw your arms around the world at christmas time.. " :)

you wish yourself back (whatever that means), you don't just sit on Santa's lap... you do whatever it is that you gotta do, no questions asked... but if you still fancy sitting on Santa's lap, get in line or else.. :P
