I will never forget hearing these songs for the first time, as part of the iconic Boney M Christmas Album in 1981.
On a cassette in the nursing office in the Glenrose School Hospital, in fact.
The music stuck with me then.
It's a part of my soul now.
And I certainly remember the Christmas season in 1984, when our grandma Lucy bought our family a copy of the tape.
It's hard to imagine now, but cassettes were just about a close second to LP's in sound quality back then.
And were therefore on the expensive side.
But Grandma knew how much we would appreciate it.
And we really, really did!
I don't know about my sister Jacquie, but whenever I need a pick-me-up for Christmas spirit, I always find myself returning to these songs.
I hope that they can do the same for you if need be.
Merry Christmas one and all!
