Is Father Christmas a frog?

When you see something like that in your inbox, it catches your attention.

Turns out Swedish band The Stuff released a covers album titled ‘Frog Bouquet’, which happens to contain “Father Christmas” by The Kinks.

Perfect to get us in the mood for Thursday, although the frog question never gets answered.

Maybe it’s this guy.

Check out The Stuff on the band’s Website, where you can buy their music.

Cheers!
