    I knew this old fella who was always the Father Christmas at the kids party at the local club.
    He did that job for decades.
    On Christmas morning some years ago his daughter having not got a reply at the door broke into the house and found him dead.
    A really strange coincidence.

    And now Greg Lake......who for me created the best Christmas song ever - a song that I always take note of where i am when I first hear it - this year it was Tescos at Stairfoot - Greg Lake who has died in the few weeks leading up to Christmas when his most famous record is often being played.
    Again something of a coincidence and something I'll never forget.

    Not half as strange a coincidence as Jesus being born on Christmas day...365-1 chance.
