Jonathan and I would like to wish all ConservativeHome readers a very, very Happy Christmas. Thank you for all of your support during 2008. So far this year the website has received more than 8.6 million hits. We're signing off until the morning of 27th December. We'll be back then with our 'awards of the year' and the first results of our final survey of 2008. If you haven't voted yet please do so here.
In the meantime this is Winchester Cathedral Choir (1986) singing In The Bleak Midwinter:
Tim Montgomerie
Er, that tune is not the tune !
Here's a better one.

Oh, and a Merry Christmas to all.

Well yes, Rugfish's link is the proper tune... although I prefer this, more happy arrangement (it's all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order).
Merry Christmas all!

And a merry Christmas to all from me too. Thanks to Tim, Joanthan,Harry, Sam Coates and all the Platform and Centre Right contributors for another fantastic year for this blog.
2009 looks like it will be a grim year, the only bright spot is that it will hopefully be the last for this incomparably incompetent government. Let's all work to ensure that it is.

Merry Christmas and many thanks to all the team..
Sadly not so merry for all in Brown's bust UK.My local paper reports that the local job centre is the omnly place locally currently recruiting whilst customers at the till in Woolworths are asked 'do you know of any jobs going'.Tragic.

Thank you, Conservative Home, for allowing me to contribute over 2008. The Labour Home page banished me after a few sallies among them. A Happy Christmas and a good New Year to all.
