Christmas in Smurfland
It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I love Christmas! If I'd have my way I'd probably be playing Christmas music right now and if Clare doesn't stop me would come home from every shopping trip with oodles of decorations, tacky or otherwise.
Part of it is definitely nostalgia, especially when it comes to Christmas music. Certain songs, or arrangements, just scream of Christmasses of my childhood. One of them is Christmas in Smurfland by Father Abraham and the Smurfs. Released in 1978 on Decca this was played over and over again while I was a kid. I have no idea where the single is (and indeed have no record player) and so my task this year is to find it on CD or MP3.
A quest sure to fail? Probably, but I'm going to have a go! After all, the smurfs would never give up.

I'd tracked that one down yesterday my dear Lee, unfortunately "Christmas in Smurfland" isn't one of the listed tracks.
But thanks for looking...

I have got it on MP3 and dream of playing it all year round till December finally arrives
do you use limewire or something - I'll can post it on my shared list and you can download it any time
or if you're on broadband I'll email it as an mp3 file
