The Official Video Release of Lets Not Fight This Christmas

Posted: 06 Dec 2008 11:16 AM CST

More behind the scenes news on the Christmas record The DailyDust is supporting, Lets Not Fight This Christmas.

“And so it begins…

Well, I sat the couch last night and watched as a song I’d co-written was debuted on primetime BBC1. How very odd. Watching the comments spring up on The One Show blog within minutes was strange as well, but hugely gratifying. One or two divorced parents for whom Christmas is a difficult time really took the message of the song to heart, and while it is a fun Christmas song, we’re hugely pleased if it has an emotional impact as well. I mean, that’s why we all do this job.

It’s been a strange week. I mean, with ist,  I’ve had songs on the radio before (it never stops being thrilling…) but to date this is the fastest something I’ve had a hand in has reached so many people. And, glory be, the response seems to be overwhelmingly positive.

There have been one or two odd comments… seemingly divided between people who hate everything and people who think that even this attitude does not go far enough, but they’ve amused me no end.

Chris Difford and Aled Jones were both on Danny Baker’s Radio 2 show this morning, and the Wogan/Jones recreation of the Bowie/Crosby single was played back to back with “Let’s Not Fight This Christmas”. I hope this demonstrates that we’re on the same side! Angry Wogan fans can stop emailing.me now! : )

I’m sure you’ll see and hear Mr. Difford on the radio telling our story a number of times over the next few weeks and don’t forget to try and catch him our tour with his ex-Squeeze mate Jools Holland if you can still get tickets. I’m assured “Let’s Not Fight This Christmas” is a staple of the set for the moment. Towards the end of the month, I shall file reports from his gig

Clearly, come January we’ll need to record some alternative versions - Let’s Not Fight This Valentine’s Day writes itself (although Let’s Not Fight This Easter scans better). I, too, will be wading into the promotional fray, so keep an ear out - particularly in the most Midlandsy parts of the country. If you hear strange Canadians discussing key changes and country disco, that’ll be.

Tonight, strangely enough, is our annual ist-mas extravaganza at home here in Leicester, so my festive mood continues… It’ll be nice to get back on-stage again following all this typing.

So, to those of you who have downloaded the Christmas song - THANK YOU! To those of you who haven’t yet, now would be nice… : )

Chris Difford & The Decorations - Let’s Not Fight This Christmas is out now on iTunes, with more download locations to follow. Many thanks, Kenton and the team”

We’ll continue with updates and photos over the next few weeks here on The DailyDust.

Lifetime of wins

He has stood on the Summerville sideline for what seems forever. He has won more games than anyone else. He's old, 82. Every year could be his last. But John McKissick knows â€" there's no place he'd rather be. Walk with him. Try to imagine. One job, one town, an entire life. Could you find faith? Could you give it? In all your seasons?

Citadel professor wins award

A knack for getting students excited about concepts that would make the average person's eyes glaze over has earned a Citadel biology professor national recognition. Alix Darden was named the 2008 South Carolina Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

WWII pilot recalls Pearl Harbor attack

Thomas McKelvey thought he'd won a plum assignment after completing Navy pilot school in 1941. He was just 22, a country boy from the then-tiny town of Moncks Corner. He imagined what flying adventures awaited as he headed across the country to his duty station on the picturesque islands of Hawaii. He arrived at the Navy base in Pearl Harbor just two weeks before the infamous Japanese attack that plunged America into World War II, shaped McKelvey's life and cemented the legacy of an entire generation.

Volunteer gets into character for work

Akiel Jamar McKnight, dressed in his sharply-creased green JROTC uniform, strode through the halls of St. John's High School recently, exchanging greetings with every teacher and staff member he saw. It was McKnight's morning as hall monitor, an internship program under Principal Adrian Busch, who praised McKnight as he walked by. It's one of the many roles for the outgoing, energetic senior who maintains an A average despite a busy volunteer schedule.

Grave concern over lot

Calvin Coolidge DuPont has an undeveloped lot in a cozy West Ashley neighborhood, and he is willing to give the land away to whoever wants it. The only catch: A dozen or more bodies are buried on the property. DuPont, 80, inherited the private, family cemetery on Pebble Road several years ago, and he doesn't want to maintain it any longer.

Heir Gators

ATLANTA â€" Tim Tebow took it upon himself to give Florida a shot at another national championship. With one of his best weapons watching from the sidelines, if the Gators needed a big run, Tebow tucked it under his arm and ran. If they needed to complete a pass, he threw it right where it needed to be. Tebow threw three touchdown passes â€" including the clinching score with just under 3 minutes remaining â€" to lead the No. 2 Gators to a 31-20 victory over No. 1 Alabama in the Southeastern Conference Championship game Saturday.

Checkers topple Rays in fight-filled affair

It was the kind of game that fans love and coaches hate. David Rutherford got the game-winner early in the third period and Maxime Daigneault stopped 26 shots to lead Charlotte past South Carolina, 3-2, Saturday night before a crowd of 5,442 at the North Charleston Coliseum. The Stingrays, who had beaten the Checkers five straight times this season, fell to 12-6-2 (26 points), but remained in second place in the ECHL's South Division. The Checkers improved to 9-9-2 (20 points).

Kovacs, LaFleur claim Reindeer titles

It was the Turkey Day Run all over again. The winners of this year's Thanksgiving Day race â€" Tamas Kovacs of High Point, N.C., and Michelle LaFleur of Savannah â€" returned to the streets of downtown Charleston on Saturday to claim the top spots in the 18th annual Reindeer Run. Kovacs, a native of Hungary, won with a time of 14 minutes and 38 seconds, seven seconds slower than his Turkey Day effort, but plenty fast enough to shatter the course record of 14:55.

Defense, second-half surge lift Charleston

GREENSBORO, N.C. â€" The College of Charleston's offense caught fire in the second half Saturday against UNC Greensboro, but it was the Cougars' defense that provided the fuel. The Cougars' pressing defense forced UNCG into 13 second-half turnovers, and Charleston shot 63.3 percent from the field in the second half to beat the Spartans, 77-62, in a Southern Conference game at Fleming Gym. "To see our team respond was fun to watch," said Charleston coach Bobby Cremins. "We got outplayed the first half. We were in trouble, but our pressure defense really turned the game around."

Elon holds off Bulldogs' rally

ELON, N.C. â€" The Citadel Bulldogs could not get off one last shot, and their comeback attempt at Elon fell short in a 56-54 loss Saturday night at Alumni Gym. Elon forward Ola Atoyebi hit 8 of 9 shots and scored 20 points as Elon (2-4, 1-1 in the Southern Conference) snapped the Bulldogs' modest win streak at two games.

Charleston's port flounders while container business sinks

Charleston is not the only port experiencing a downturn in container business. A New York Times article last week profiled Savannah's flat-lined container business. A front page Los Angeles Times article last weekend documented sudden and deep business drops at West Coast ports. Charleston's port misery received special national attention. A Nov. 25 Wall Street Journal article sketched our port as wallowing in a state of dread and suffering: "The impact in Charleston ... has been greater than almost anywhere else. As recently as 2005, Charleston handled 12.6 million metric tons of containerized freight, more than any other port except Los Angeles, Long Beach and the combined New York/New Jersey port complex.

In choppy economy, boat owners abandon ship

Unlike cars, wooden and fiberglass boats have virtually no scrap value. So rather than pay the high cost of hauling their boats to the dump, people ditch them or sell them for as little as $1 to anyone who will take them.

Analysis: The risks of falling prices

At first blush, deflation doesn’t seem so bad. The concern focuses on the possibility of a downward spiral.

More call center work done at home

Home agents often start at $8-to-$10 an hour, earning more depending on the skill and knowledge required for specific clients. Besides gas, home-based operators save on car maintenance and the cost of keeping up an office wardrobe.

Car show entrants line up to follow at the end of the Christmas parade at 10 a.m. Cars judged and trophies awarded at 3 p.m. There will be crafts show, music show, children’s entertainment and a Wild West Show.
