Yes yes, I know, I'm horrendously late with yesterday's entry - I was out, okay? I dragged my flu-addled body to Glasgow to see the New Pornographers playing at the ABC. More about that later, if you promise to behave.
So it's a bit of a double whammy today then. First of all, how about some Christmas poetry? There's one on here by Ian McMillan, who, back in the day, used to do some of the poetry bits on Mark Radcliffe's late night Radio One show. Shame they don't have a recording of it really, as he has the most avuncular voice in the western hemisphere - if Santa Claus came from Yorkshire, that is how he'd sound.
I did have a look at the Poetry Archive, but when a search for christmas throws up a poem called "My Mammogram", you know it ain't going to be a cheery little number...
The second festive number I have for you is the script for It's A Wonderful Life, everyone's favourite Jimmy Stewart and an angel at Christmas time movie.
And just so you know how much I care, I'll thrown in an extra bonus - how about a bad pun?
