We saw Labour kissing Treasury
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
They didn't hear us creep
Thought that we're a lot of sheep
Thought that we were tucked up with
our dreams and fast asleep.
Pam Ayre puts it for the ordinary folks -
Out in the frozen countryside
Men crept round on their own,
Hacking off the holly,
What other folks had grown,
Mistletoe on willow trees,
Was by a man wrenched clear,
So he could kiss his neighbour's wife,
He'd fancied all the year...
And out of every cranny, cupboard,
Hiding place and nook,
Little bikes and kiddies' trikes,
Were secretively took,
Yards of wrapping paper,
Was rustled round about,
And bikes were wheeled to bedrooms,
With the pedals sticking out.

And finally, the joy and real excitement of the ritual holyday
to those who have just enough, and are not blase' with
consumerism. Let's have Christmas every year!

Happy Christmas
She's hard to take seriously. Nine years of National, coming from a foreign point of view, is easier to take. No one really expects more of her and Grant than to talk the right talk.
I remember Grant chatting away about his true Left beliefs on the pub politics programme. Dismissed a few doubts, wrongly.
'Friend of power', rark!
I realise there's a middle path, but the people need powerful proponents as per the proto-fascists. You've seen how dragged away from reality America is.
Grant Robertson talking up our kindness at free meal-places this Christmas. Nonpareil demand. What can you say about him?! Scared, mostly.
