I spent all morning trying very hard to get the new Christmas song to work. But whatever I did it either sounded genki but not Christmassy, or Christmassy but not genki. And by the evening I was pretty fed up with not being able to do it!!! I was even thinking of giving it up as something I don’t have the skills to produce ( like the “What’s your favourite flavour?” song in Summer) But then I started thinking. I’ve producing Christmas songs for nearly 20 years! ( Which is very scary if you think about it!) I have to be able to do this!!!! So I sat down with a big bar of Mince Pie Fudge, deleted everything and started playing from scratch. And you know what? It worked. : )

So I had planned to go and watch Harry Potter tonight, but as I managed to get the song done, I was just as happy.
