Sainsburys Christmas ad....

[10ClarionSt]

Have you seen the ad for Sainsburys? There is a Welsh male voice choir singing All Through The Night. What's the connection with that song and Christmas? Do the welsh only sing it at Christmas time?

Seems like a lullaby perhaps for the baby Jesus, mamy.

Its a lovely carol, not sure what the connection is!

Dos it wat?

[starone]

Baby Jesus is the whole point of Christmas Naz so a lullaby is just right. Don't spoil it please, I am an agnostic but can still connect with the situation.

[NazNomad]

I wasn't trying to spoil any illusion you may have, I wanted to know how you made a connection between the lyrics of that song and jeezus, nothing more.

It's a hymn or lullaby, here at the words - I've always associated it with the Nativity, Mary singing it to her new baby as she watches over him http://www.contemplat...m/wales/allnight.html

...PS it was the food that attracted me to the ad though, it looks very yummy!

[NazNomad]

Ah, then you mean the English words, not the literal translation ... now I see. Thanks

[boxtops]

I can see the Welsh words but most of us wouldn't be able to translate directly, naz....

[maggie21]

Oh gosh!!! Put your man bags down please shhhhhhhhhhh!!

[jaydah]

the Welsh are mostly shepherds, shepherds watched over baby jesus. Shepherds witnessed the guardian angel etc etc etc.

Give it up to Wales :)
