I'm always reminded of the lyrics of The Pogues song about Irish emigration:
Thousands are sailing
Across the western ocean
Where the land of opportunity
Draws tickets in a lottery
Wherever we go we celebrate
The land that makes us refugees
From fear of priests with empty plates
From guilt and weeping effigies
And we dance
Shane MacGowan's birthday and the fact he keeps reaching another is the proper christmas miracle.
