Firstly let me start by saying Australia is the best country in the world to live in. I feel blessed to have this passport and the sunshine I get nearly every day is a godsend.
However, Christmas absolutely sucks here and I would give my right nut to spend December in the UK where quite frankly Christmas is excellent.
Anyway, I chucked on one of those ‘Now’ Christmas playlists the other day and remembered just how good some of those traditional Christmas bangers are.
My top 5..
1) Fairytale of New York
2) Merry Christmas everyone - Shakin Stevens
3) Happy Christmas (War is over) - John Lennon
4) Little Drummer Boy - Bing and Bowie
5) All alone on Christmas - Darlene Love
What are yours?
Best Christmas songs?

Boxing day test 2010, i can honestly say i have never been so cold at a cricket match in my life, and it f@cked it down with rain in Queensland the whole time we were there. Glad to get home!

Was that the fixed test against Pakistan? I went to that game myself if so. Beer snakes got quite long.

Baz, We have a national side flying the flag, unlike those overpaid ponces that masquerade as footballers!

it is more about the party in the stands than the game half the time. Aussie fans are hilarious as well, we got ripped a new one all day as did any Pakistani fans.
