Well, thanks to climate change, while Texas is experiencing blizzard conditions, the UK is under several feet of water, and children under five have never seen a snowflake in real life. Still, none of this changes the traditional image of white Christmases and crisp winter days frolicking and making snowmen, and no doubt the immense popularity of ‘Frozen’ will see such notions of winter alive for the rest of all eternity.
Celebrated Irish alt-folk musicians James Cramer and Eleanor McEvoy have produced one of those heart-warming duets about cuddling up cozy and warm together when it’s cold outside, with images of presents and fires. It’s sickly-sweet and slushy, and of course it’s pure fictional fantasy, but certainly more appealing than the grim reality of a small plastic tree, a few bent cards pinned to a bricked-up and plastered over heart, a yellowing storage heater and hours spent fretting about the overdraft while it lashes it down with rain.
