I don’t think Granny O’ Grimm sings the right words here at all at all

I met Granny O’ Grimm recently – it was quite the encounter and I’m sure I’ll be recounting it to you shortly.

Amid the complaints, the grumbles, the overwhelming sense of pessimism and gloom (her life motto is “give up your dreams“), there was actually an attractive streak of divilment in this elderly lady that made up for the sheer mortification of having her show me up in the Central Hotel. That woman has a sharp tongue – though it’d be no more than I deserve, she’d say herself. I’d say she was afraid she’d catch a dose of positivity from me.

However, Gertie (she’ll hate me telling you that’s her name, but there you go) is, as you know, working with Brown Bag Films and they’ve just released this video of her in divilment mode singing a Christmas song – though it’s not the one that I remember learning in school.

If she’s singing that to her grandchildren (Annie, 7, William, 5 and Alice, 1 and a half) up in Ballymulch, well, I’m not sure what sort of Christmas they’ll have at all!
