whats your fav xmas carol and why?????? i like hark the hereld angels sing because it reminds me of when i was in nativity plays at school in the bleak mid winter is also a fav of mine i just like the words very dickensian
I had a similar thread in the post of the week comp over in polls section a while ago.
It seems people don't want carols anymore, but modern Christmas songs.
i also love kiddie songs to like when santa got stuck up the chimney its great when you get aroom full of little ones getting all excited shouting achoo achoo achoo lovely
When the kids were younger their primary school always did a Nativity Play. Away in a Manger sung by the little ones always brought a lump to my throat, (as well as a laugh at some of their antics lol )
we always changes the words while we were at school such as whilst shepherds washed their socks by night and we three kings of lester square selling ladies underwear so fantastic, no elastic, only a penny a pair
Same here Rosetta, whenever my kids sing Away in a Manger and Silent Night at their school plays I have to take a few deep breaths to stop me from welling up
I like See Amid the Winter Snow. It's not sung very often but we used to sing it at school in the choir. I must admit to liking the traditional carols - watching Carols from Kings on Christmas Eve is a tradition of mine
