There's one curious thing about recall in general, and my own memory in particular that's always puzzled me. I'm in the Slackers Club now, and we start playing Christmas carols sometime in November, but that wasn't always the case. I was brought up in the strict Methodist tradition of nothing but contemplation from the first Sunday in Advent, followed by a quick burst of carols squeezed between Christmas Eve and Twelfth Night. Despite this, I can sing along with virtually every known Christmas carol that comes on the radio or TV. My party piece is Good King Wenceslas. I know every single word off by heart, despite never singing it more than once or twice a year. Why, when I can't remember what vehicle I sat in yesterday?

At this point it's traditional to include a pack shot of the blogger's current novel. As the cover of His Majesty's Secret Passion features a hunky, semi-naked guy, it hardly seems right to display him beside talk of Christmas carols.

In church today, I was trying to figure out why I know the first verse to every Christmas carol hymn, but not the rest totally by heart.
Other than that, I have a great memory! lolol
Merry Christmas!

Thanks for commenting, Denise. Our church is decked out magnificently for Christmas, which is so different from when I was a child. It looks lovely, but we still don't get many people in the congregation :(
