p2pnet: Hi everyone:

This is just to wish you and yours the very best not merely for today but for all the days to come

I’m glad just to be alive and the fact I am is as much a miracle as anything else, given my former life-long love affair with drugs and alcohol.

I’m here today thanks to my wife and my best friend, Liz, and, for the last 11 years, my daughter, Emma.

The view on the right is what we see from our kitchen window here in Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Below are a few YouTube videos I hope you’ll enjoy once you’ve heard the Queen’s message (just kidding), and which may give you a chuckle.

One or two might also make you think.

But before that, all the best to Nisha Demers here on the island, and Lama Lopsang Palmo in Kapan, near Kathmandu in Nepal.

Between the two of them, they’ve been doing their best to help a small group of orphans.

You can help too. Click here for the story, or click the pic above to make a direct donation.

Nothing is deducted for expenses of any kind.

Nothing. Not one cent.

Thanks also to Ernesto at TorrentFreak who, with p2pnet readers, has also adopted KapKids.com.

And now for something completely different …….

"Ever sensitive to its listeners’ sensitivities, the BBC’s Radio 1 has sensitively censored the word ‘faggot,’ excising it from the Pogues’ 1987 Christmas hit Fairytale of New York," we posted on December 18, going on,"Now that’s sensitive."

The Pogues fairy tale is great, IMHO. See what you think of it.

Eartha Kitt’s 1953 Santa Baby is amazing. her voice is unique (she was brilliant as the aged sorceressYzma in The Emperor’s New Groove) and Joan Javits’ wry, dry lyrics are perfectly suited to her.

Here’s Eartha —– with three unusual guests.

Kylie Minogue also does a version. Not bad. But not Eartha.

And incredibly, there’s also a WoW lypsinc version

OK? So here’s a burp-water can saying, Merry Christmas.

And David Bowie crooning with Bing Crosbie. Wha? Yup. Not bad, either.

Haruhi’s We Wish You A Merry Christmas Song

Emma and I are big Jamie Cullum fans so here’s Let it Snow …..

And last but definitely by no means least, for Canadians everywhere (and others ;) ) Bob and Doug Mackenzie ….

So —- thanks to everyone. Have a great Christmas

Cheers and all the best …

Liz, Emma and Jon
