Yay! (Actually, I think I'm probably too old to get away with using that expression...)
Nice one cavebat, thought perhaps you'd given up - thank you for brightening up Advent once again!

Kate Rusby – Little Jack Frost....
Was this a deliberate last-minute substitution? Or a case of synchronicity?
Either way, it's a truly apt video for today - I could have shot an almost identical one from my front door (apart from the brief sea scene, not many beaches in the Home Counties). Actually, it would all have to be shot from my front door - I'm snowed in!
...oh, and great music too

I've used that before, and I do try not to repeat things. But there will be something appropriate for the day.
