"One theory is, it goes back to the days when they were making the calendar. They put in the extra days between the lunar and the solar year, and when they put them in, they felt they were queer sort of days, that they didn't really exist. Days on which anything might happen."
"How strange. I used to feel like that about Christmas when I was a child. I remember how wonderful it was, seeing the snow outside, finding our Christmas stockings tied to the ends of our beds, and all day long a strange sort of excitement. And then, in the evening, downstairs in the drawing room, dark, green and glittering, the Christmas tree. Somehow Christmas never seems quite the same now. As one gets older, the magic seems to go out of things."
It is axiomatic (well, it is now I've said it, or am about to) that...

Annie Lennox was left red-faced after she missed her cue to perform on a U.S. talk show on Tuesday, December 14, just minutes after she insisted she no longer suffered nerves about messing up on stage.
The Scottish singer was a guest on "Live with Regis and Kelly" on Tuesday morning to promote her new Christmas album and sing her rendition of festive favorite "The Holly and the Ivy" for the studio audience.
In an interview with the hosts, Lennox admitted she had overcome her nerves about performing years ago. She said, "I used to get really badly nervous, but I've been through so many things now. There's no point. I think there comes a time when you're a performer you have to get over your stage fright... Why be nervous?"
But Lennox appeared to speak too soon - she immediately missed her cue to start singing and had to...

Annie Lennox has apologised after missing her cue to sing on a live Us talkshow. The Eurythmics star was appearing on Live! with Regis & Kelly to perform her version of 'The Holly and the Ivy' from her new festive album A Christmas Cornucopia. However, Lennox appeared to miss her entry point to the song and had to be tapped on the back by her guitarist. Failing to catch up, the band started the song again (more)...

During her visit to the Regis & Kelly Show on December 14, Annie Lennox discussed surmounting her stage fright with her two hosts. Lennox asked, "why be nervous?" apparently in the rhetorical sense, though Regis magnanimously reaffirmed her confidence. After announcing that she'd conquered her fear of public blunders, the Scottish singer went on to hilariously prove her own point by messing up almost instantly. During a rendition of her new single "The Holly and the Ivy" her guitarist gingerly taps her shoulder reminding her to start singing, kicking off an embarrassing series of on-stage miscommunications before they finally just start over. A classic instance of speaking too soon and singing too late. Watch below.

While it doesn't come close to a Susan Boyle-level train wreck, Annie Lennox's performance issues on "Live With Regis & Kelly" certainly make up for awkwardness with good, old-fashioned irony.
During her Dec. 14 visit to the series, the hosts ask Lennox if she was nervous during her recent performance at "Christmas in Washington."
"I used to get really, badly nervous, but I've been through so many things now," she says. "There's no point. I think there comes a point, as a performer, when you have to get over your stage fright."
"That's the right attitude," Regis chimes in, well past the age where he would give a second thought to nerves.
Lennox was then supposed to sing her new track "The Holly and the Ivy," only her band started without her.
She quickly put the kibosh on that, though. "Can we stop?" she asks. "Sorry guys." Now, we normally...
