Celebrate Christmas | The Spectator Australia

Only 4 sleeps till Christmas and I just cannot wait.  I love Christmas. My fifth music album was all Christmas Carols from Once in Royal David’s City to Christmas Day.

Christmas really is one of the greatest times of the year, especially for our children. But early in my life I had a love/hate relationship with Christmas.

I guess it all started when I was about six years old and I found out that Santa Claus was not real. I loved the idea of Father Christmas, a kindly old man, coming around at midnight to give me toys.

The word had gotten around among my circle of friends that our parents were the real benefactors. They say truth is stranger than fiction….
