The Western Daily Press was disturbed when it unwrapped its Nestlé Father Christmas.
So cunning those Swiss.

Gee, I wonder why N. Lebrecht picked this as a story?! Apparently rainbows have been commandeered from the sky.
Tasty.
This is the shortest and funniest comment so far! Thanks, Emily!
The thing I find stranger than chocolate warming and
hardeningtaking on unintended shapes once cooled, is that this story is apparently from July and 2014 at that.I guess if you go looking for Father Christmas in July, you can’t expect first rate quality.
Where are the moaners complaining that this story is far too flippant, even vulgar, for such a serious music blog? Already hibernating in the comforting straw of Schoenberg’s Second String Quartet?
Well, moaning without somebody willing to hear you out or take your viewpoint into consideration, is just a waste of breath.
And speaking of Schoenberg, I am currently listening to and watching a rather marvelous performance of the Gurrelieder.
Nope. Just yawning and wondering why this ancient item was posted at all. I gave up kicking against the pricks long ago. Doing so has produced not one iota of improvement in this blog.
One thing I should add, though. If the usual suspects cum experts in international affairs want to go to war again, they might take note that this appears to be a Jewish Father Christmas.
What are ‘cum experts’?
Cum: word imported from Latin. Meaning: with, in addition to. Example of fairly common usage: magna cum laude = with highest praise (usually re a university degree).
At least someone doesn’t watch porn…..
Wow, Dailebrecht Mail strikes again.
What a cock-up.
Seek, and ye shall find. The muckrakting journalistic approach has found a home long ago in Mr. Lebrecht’s finger tips. Dreams of sugar plum fairies, sir?
Yum Yum!
