Day 19 - Mele Kalikimaka (Christmas in Hawaii) - K.T. Tunstall / Jimmy Buffett

...Because it's Christmas in Hawaii but, seemingly, not in the West End, where yesterday I witnessed Christmas Trees being taken down in The Conran Shop in Marylebone High Street to accommodate the store sale. There's another week to got! I hope their tinsel has mites in and they escape and find solace in their furniture. No fate is too bad. 

K.T Tunstall's version of the old Bing Crosby song is a pure delight and features a wonderous kazoo solo - and who doesn't want that? The Xylophone Union must have been happy when they got the call for this one too. But I realised as I was searching for K.T's version that there is also one by Jimmy Buffett who we sadly lost back in September and this Calendar does not want the loss of the man who gave us the wonderous 'Margaritatville' or who was half-responsible for the equally joyous 'It's Five o' Clock Somewhere' to go unrecognised so Jimmy's is being attached here too. 

There needs to be room in your heart for both of them this Christmas. Unlike stores that take down their decorations a week before Christmas Day!
