Can anyone tell me where I can see the whole video of that last little bit there.

Heh, so, to hear the narrator tell the story, Emerson and Palmer get invited back to help perform the song, but what exactly is their role? In the final shot, it looks like Emerson and Palmer are just talking to each other, while Palmer stands there holding the stick for the big bass drum behind him. (I'll bet it was a big moment when Palmer finally hit that drum!)

@Davechop54 Father Xmas, Father Xmas, Father Xmas. Wow, such a forgiving soul you have. Christmas as a celebration has long and varied roots, in northern European pagan rituals, in Roman festivities, as well as the Christian church. None of those for me, just a happy time with family and friends (otherwise what is the point?).

Best Christmas song ever.

@IonSpringfield No that was Toyah Wilcox.
The true dichotomy and contridictions of Christmas; what should be and what really is. A sad but beautiful song sung by one of the most talented musicians of our time. We are all different which makes us all the same and must strive to coexisist if we are to survive as a race. I always cry when I hear this song and cant help but be pessimistic. If we havent really changed in 2000 years how long will it take in order to change. Peace to all and Merry Christmas!
