"Shelby McZiggy, the Butter Monster" aka "Get Down Shelby!"

Some of our pretty lights...before this minx tried to eat them...

Anything from Tracey Thorn's Tinsel and Lights, which is the soundtrack for us decorating the tree. Alternatively I would love to hear Snow is Falling in Manhattan.

And I won't forget Sister Teresa, who introduced our class of 12 year olds to electronic music via "Trans Europe Express" and Isao Tomita.

Toffee, who died in 2021 aged 19 and a half, was the best cat ever. Still miss her gentle company.

Tying fishing line to the tree to anchor it to a wall can stop the cats from toppling the tree.

Heaven in a Wildflower, bought from a record shop bargain bin, was also my introduction. I had heard of Nick, but only through REM interviews. I still love all his music.
