Tree topper

A tree topper is a decorative star, angel or other item which is placed on the crown of a Christmas tree. The most popular tree topper is the angel, followed by the star. If viewed in a Christian context, the tree topper usually signifies the Christmas Star (Star of Bethlehem) or angelic hosts which proclaimed the news of the birth of Jesus to the world on the eve of his birth. Modern pagan homes celebrate the winter solstice, which falls close to Christmas, by decorating an evergreen tree as a symbol of continuing life, but make an effort to decorate it with non-Christian symbols and often choose tree toppers representing the sun.

Another Rock N’ Roll Christmas

“Another Rock N’ Roll Christmas” is a popular 1984 Christmas song by Gary Glitter.

The song is about the fun of Christmas and refers to Rock and Roll music throughout, examples being the lyrics “You’ll be rocking in your stocking” and “Come on, Rock and Roll for old St. Nick“. The song sold very well, hitting the Top 10 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Glitter’s most successful song since 1975. Though he was still touring regularly when the song came out, Glitter has often credited “Another Rock N’ Roll Christmas” as a song that gave him a huge resurgence in popularity.

The song was included on the album Boys Will Be Boys, issued in 1985 and was reissued many times, both as a single (including a collectors picture disc) and on other albums.

The track was one of the most played Christmas songs in the UK for many years and is still played today, though not as heavily, following Glitter’s conviction for possessing child pornography.

Skipping Christmas

Skipping Christmas (2001) is a comedy novella by noted American author John Grisham. In 2004 the novella was made into a movie titled Christmas with the Kranks.

Plot summary

The story focuses on how Luther Krank and his wife Nora tried to avoid doing the traditional Christmas frenzy.

The plan was hatched by Luther himself after he and his wife took their daughter Blair to the airport for a year long mission to Peru with the Peace Corps. After calculating how much money they spent last Christmas, Luther decides to take a 10-day Caribbean Cruise with his wife this year instead of celebrating Christmas the usual way. No Christmas shopping, no Christmas trees, not even the traditional Christmas party they hosted. Nora reluctantly agreed at first but as the day of the cruise approaches she thinks it’s a great idea as they all miss the crazy commotion people had to endure during the season. Or so they thought……

Blair suddenly calls on Christmas Eve to tell them that she’s at the airport in Miami,FL and she’s coming home with her fiance as a surprise for them. Blair also told them that her fiance hasn’t been to the U.S.A. and would like to see how they spend Christmas, after Blair told him about the decorations, Music, snow and the Christmas party their family always hosted.

All of a sudden the Kranks have to prepare a Christmas party in 4 hours, not to mention getting the house decorated in time for the arrival of Blair from the airport.

Luther’s view on Christmas changes a lot throughout this novel. In the beginning he is looking forward to his cruise the Island Princess. The ten day cruise, full of food and fun was a must. In the end of the, book Luther realizes that family is more important as he reluctantly decides not to go on the cruise.
