    I couldn't find my Christmas CD this year, so we decorated the tree with no music on. First time that I can remember that Mary's Boy Child and When a Child Is Born weren't being played when I decorated the tree

      ok I am going to invent song that you will all like
      cant sing it myself as I have tinsellitis geddit? tinsellitis awfergeddit


      Whilst Shepherds watched their flocks by night
      EO was in the pub
      Alexi set the markets right
      and Suityou rubbed his tub

      "Drink up," he said, for cheese and bread
      Appeared on a plate
      Threaded jumped in his time machine
      and quickly set the date

      The heavenly Babe called Cailin Maith
      To human view displayed
      And meanly wrapped
      In wimply bands
      And for last orders stayed

      Thus spake the pilot, And forthwith
      Tornado roared to life
      six bowls of pasta on his knee
      thats one for every wife

              WHS, there are some I can tolerate but when you go stay at the in laws for xmas and the same xmas cd is played over and over again for three days, it kinda puts you off.

                Go out and get the original ( Leonard Cohen ) or the real classic version by Jeff Buckley. Both far far better than the X-Factor re-hash.

                Jeff Buckleys version is proabably one of the best songs ever recorded by anyone.

                Can't stand most of the Christmas songs that do the rounds, although I do quite like Greg Lake's ( Of Emmerson Lake and Palmer ) "I Belive in Father Christmas" mainly cos I'm a cynical and grumpy old git who doesnt really like christmas anyway.

                  Nope, but we always shouted the work 'come' in the hymn 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful'. It was an all boys school and I guess that kind of juvenile behaviour was expected.

                  Thing is, I still do it now when it's sung in church...

                    Yes, I do like the Jeff Buckley one best but the other version isn't so bad...

                      my brother is a vicar and a mad Everton fan. He was preaching last year and I was in the congregation, the next song was 'Lord of the Dance'

                      so there I am , singing

                      'Run Run, whoever you may be'
                      'We are the famous EFC'
                      'You'll be seeing Blue'
                      'And fck all of the ball'
                      '...........'

                      I was watching his lips ....still not sure exactly what he was singing
