December Songs Before Christmas Songs 2021 Covid Times

Dewy, damp, dreamy December.

Here he is again folks. December is like the last tin soldier in the flank of 12. Still, strong, resolute and steadfast, he has held on to his position until the 11 other soldiers have completed their round of duties to serve 2021. 

Now the wet spell hits, with heat and rain in the tropics and snow, fog and mist in the northern hemisphere. The listed songs below describe some of these conditions, emotional ones most possibly, e.g., ''warm, cold, white December'', till it, ''slips away... and we make it through.''

 December will need to stand for about 24 days before the festivities begin as Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ on the 25th and Christians fill the churches on their holy week.

Whatever comes your way, the Covid-19 Connection especially, just be more careful when masking, washing, crowding and dining.😷

Have a great December everyone.

R.I.P. George Michael @ 53. Wham!

George Michael has died on Christmas Day 2016. He was only 53 years young. In a pop singing career spanning 40 years he has sold more than 100 million records internationally.

Good friend and partner 'Wham' duo Andrew Ridgeley was heartbroken. Careless Whisper, Faith, Wake Me Up, Club Tropicana, Young Guns (Go For It) and Last Christmas will all be etched in our memories.


His charitable ways was only revealed lately, that he gave much to individuals and institutions. Many times he would quietly call these people in need on the phone and provided them funds for their hospital stay, medication or operation.
His pop hit, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Prince's Purple Rain were my wake-up-call songs each morning when I was living in an apartment in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. 

My Canadian neighbour played the same two songs alternately at the start of day and jolted me out of bed during cold, crazy, winter morns. Don't forget that Canadian houses were not made of solid bricks like those in Singapore. 


The sound generated from his huge stereophonic set, as we find them those years, caused me ear trauma for some time. Imagine how loud Wake Me Up sounded with volume at #9. I didn't complain to the cops. He sat next to me during Sociology 101.😕

In the mid-eighties in Winnipeg where I resided, his songs were played everywhere. George Michael was an echoing voice in the hearts of many.  Like photographs flying in the air, images abound when his songs are heard - images of my special and wonderful years in Winnipeg.

R.I.P. George Michael. Your music lives on.
