Unknown Author: Christmas is Coming

Christmas is a traditional nursery rhyme and Christmas song and is listed as number 12817 in the Roud Folk Song Index. The exact origins of the nursery rhyme are unknown, but the musical sheets did belong to the writer Edith Nesbit (Bland) 1858-1924 as she had composed a tune for the lyrics. The traditional version of the melody is done in the tune of Country Gardens but is also sung in other melodies. 

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat

Please put a penny in the old man's hat

If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do

If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you!

Lost Media: Lostprophets music video for Somdays

Lostprophets was a Welsh band active between 1997 to 2013. They are well known for their 2006 song "Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)". However, this band does not exist anymore due to lead singer Ian Walkin's deplorable sex crimes. The other former members are now in the band No Devotion not wanting anything to do with the former band.

It is confirmed that there was a music video planned for their song Somedays. On December 3rd, 2012 Ian tweeted from his account that he was on the way to shoot a music video for it. He and guitarist Lee Gaze were the only band members present. The rest of the members were supposed to be shown in archive footage. This however will never be released.

On December 17, 2012, Ian would be arrested and sentenced for his crimes a year later. I won't go too into his crimes but he had victims that were teenagers, children, and even toddlers and infants. He had even used drugs on some of his victims and filmed the acts with them. He pleaded guilty to 13 charges and is serving 29 years in prison. He did not take this seriously as he was recorded in a prison call referring to his crimes as "Mega Lolz". Disgusting.

Murder of Robert Allan

On December 1, 1904, 34-year-old Robert Allan was at his home at Drumshangie Farm between Greengairs and Airdrie, Scotland with his wife and 3-week-old child. This was the first night that they did not have any servants at the farm. 

Just after they went to bed some people came up to the window and disturbed them. This irritated  Robert and he opened the door holding his double-barrelled fowling piece. He fired into the sky to scare them away. This however did not happen as the people became more roudy. He went back in put on his trousers and went back out with his gun. He would fire another shot and never be seen alive again. It's believed he had followed the men down the roadway to where the trolley had been drawn.

He would be found dead on an old pit road leading from the farm to Watstown. He was lying across a track partially on his right side with one arm underneath him. His gun was a few feet away from him resting on the embankment on the road. It was found that he had been shot in the stomach. It's believed he was shot with his own gun. 

One theory was that he had stumbled in the dark and accidentally shot himself, but his guy was found several feet away and the locks of the gun were found to be empty of cartridge cases. The other is that Robert and one of the men fought over the gun and he was shot in the struggle. That the killer moved him and his gun from their original positions.
