All but cancelled, Christmas Day 2020 is upon us.
Salut! wishes all its readers as happy a festive season as events make possible and prays, or would do it it did pray, for a less troubling 2021.
Maybe we should try to find the bright side of grim happenings.
Brexit may be the most calamitous act of national self-harm to occur in the lifetimes of most of us. Even more than us, our children and grandchildren will be paying the price of this nasty project, with its strong stench of xenophobia, for decades to come as they await the Sunlit Uplands (up to 50 years away even on Jacob Rees-Mogg's reckoning).
But think how character building it will all be. And marvel at the wonderful dress rehearsal for future misery and chaos being staged at Dover due to another crisis.
i will grudgingly accept that the deal, almost any deal, will be less damaging and less likely to confine Britain to rogue nation status than the oven-ready No Deal wanted by Farage and Tory neanderthals. I will have none of Daniel Hannan’s ludicrous, gloating "end the culture war and move on" drivel.
And it you aren't properly cheered up, pop over to Salut! Live and sample the best folk and not-so-folk sounds I've been able to locate, all the more so if the music of North Eastern England holds some appeal
But whether you stray there, check the "back numbers" here or do neither, have a a peaceful and pleasing Christmas Day.
