"Well I wish it could be Winter every day,
When the snow starts falling and the Russians start to skate"

I really liked this one, and it fit the holiday mood very well.
In case you don't already know , the original song (by Wizzard) did not go like this, it was "I wish it could be Christmas every day, when the bells start ringing and the band begins to play".

I lay to rest the location I used briefly during the "days between the years", an unnoticed change, I guess...

It has served me well for many months, but it was time for a change.

The new siggy is offered with apologies to Squatter, from whom I gained my inspiration. In my defense, I translated this particular passage into Old English a number of years ago and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it.
