Xmas day was invented by the British Elvis impersonator Les Gray when he sang the hit song Lonely This Xmas as lead singer of the band Mud in 1974. “X” was his favourite letter of the alphabet, and he took the “Mas” part from his favourite festive food, mashed potato. The song became such a popperific sensation that the UK government of the day, led by Nigel “Trousers” Callaghan, took about three minutes to decide that December 25 should be a national holiday across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Spiky Islands.
