...So I thought I’d get it to you early. St Stephen’s Day is December 26; Boxing Day. For you may it be a stat!

The St Stephen’s Day Murders, a song by Elvis Costello and the Chieftains.

CHORUS

There’ll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias
Mixed up with that drink made from girders*
And it’s all we’ve got left as you draw your last breath
And it’s nice for the kids as you’ve finally got rid of them
In the St Stephen’s Day Murders

*”That drink made from girders” is Irn-Bru, which I tried in Glasgow. (It only has to be tried once.) The life of the party told me he didn’t think much of my taste in drinks. Also on that trip, I blanked and failed to try the deep fried Mars bar.
