I think I'll go in summer. I keep saying I should go and I don't know what's stopping me. It's only a car ferry from Liverpool to Dublin and a drive across. I keep treating it as if it's in Australia!

Watermark for me. I didn't have to give this any thought. It always has been, always will be.

I've never been one for baseball caps to be honest. I find it a surprising item of merchandise. I would love a mug or keyring.

I haven't won this year but I want to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to the ten winners, thirty runners up as well as the Video Blog winners and Nightflower winners and Banner winners. I hope you really enjoy your prizes when they arrive. Well done everybody! :)

I'm really drawn towards Long Long Journey at the moment. I feel certain that with a punchier mix and even more powerful vocal layering on the Long Long bits it could have made a fantastic single release.

Over the last couple of weeks I've been listening to Enya's recording output. More than ever, I've started noticing and missing the absence of Gaelic tracks since 1995. In fact, since then, I think I'm right in saying we've only had Deora ar mo chroi and Isobella and a re-recorded Oiche Chiun. It's never really occurred to me before how reduced the Gaelic has been in the second part of Enya's career (post PTSWS). I know we've had other languages and I particularly love Sumerigusa and Waters shows the hidden heart from Amarantine. But I do miss the Gaelic enormously and it's made me wonder two things: 1. Has it been a conscious decision on the part of Aigle and 2. Has the less Irish-sounding music of recent years contributed to the decline in sales in the UK? Any thoughts?

Yeah I must admit I don't think of AWC as a new age album. Mind you, the Grammys have categories for everything under the sun that I'm surprised there isn't one for a holiday/Christmas/seasonal recording.

Happy Christmas to you all! Hope you're all having a great holiday.

Yeah I'd like to see the rest of the list. I'm hoping 'Babes in the wood' by Mary Black is up there. And Macalla by Clannad should be there too. Oh and 'Whisper to the wild water' by Moya.

I'm listening to The Spirit of Christmas past as I type lol. I'm going for a run at 9am with the Wigan running club. Then driving over to York to join my Mum, Dad, sisters and all their many kids for Christmas dinner.

I agree that Watermark (my favourite Enya album) should be the highest on the list. But, only 52????????? It should be top 5! I'm surprised at The Celts being there. It's great that Only Time gets so recognised but there are so many Enya songs in the last decade that I prefer lol.

Yeah I found it interesting even though I struggled to decipher some of the content.

Congratulations to you bigwiglaf for the award you've won. I assume you've been posting a lot of limericks...? Well done and enjoy your prize. I know how much the prize meant to me last year so well done again!

Fantastic to see so many more winners. What did Jeff do to win his award? I'm not on the Unity board so may have missed something.

I actually hope it's 2013. And Winter Came is my least favourite Enya album so far so I kind of hope she takes 5 years on the next one.
