Being cynical by nature, Greg Lake's I Believe In Father Christmas always appealed to me, as did The Kinks' Father Christmas. But given the current events in the world right now, this song seemed to be much more apt, and even though it came out nearly 50 years ago, may I say, timely.

Lake released the restored 4K version of this video three years ago.

From all of us to all of you during this holiday season, Lake sang it best:

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear

Can you help us out?
