Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to sign into my blog, just before Father Christmas arrives*, to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!

I hope you and your families have a warm, wonderful Christmas, full of magical moments! (Not forgetting our four-legged friends, of course:

My Collie Jake is loving all the extra food around the house! ;) He was a rescue dog I took in four years ago, and he's brought so much fun and love into the house, it's more like he's rescued us -lol! So, if you do have the room and the time to spend with them, I'd heartily recommend that you visit your local animal shelter and take in an abandoned dog (or a cat or rabbit etc.).

Sorry for not posting any blogs for a while, but I've been very busy since the very successful Brett Huckfield & Friends night in Moseley. But, I'll get back on the blog over the festive period and add a few photos and updates about my musical endeavours over the last few months.

At this special time of the year, I'd just like to say thank you to all my dear friends around the world, old and new, who support my music, buy my songs, come to my performances and generally just keep up with what I'm doing.

In the words of Dickens' Tiny Tim character: "God bless us, every one!"

* Did you know Father Christmas/Santa Claus is in part derived from Odin, 'who was associated with the Germanic pagan midwinter event of Yule [...] Over time, traits of this character and the British folklore character Father Christmas merged to form the modern Santa Claus known today.' (Wikipedia. 2013).

Now there's a nice bit of trivia to enliven the conversation at Christmas Dinner -lol!

I'll leave you with my anti-corporate Christmas song: Christmas Carols and Auld Lang Syne xx
