and for the rest of us to shout "arse"

And what it sounds like when sung properly:

Lovely work Noodlebug. They are both good - and alive! I slightly prefer the sweaty look though, as the dickie bows conjure up images of Abitrary doing his day job...

I have always liked this and will get yer feet tapping for 'Tubetide'

 

[Moose]

Vorderman?

I'm with you on that one (and she is also a 'Christmas Carol')

 

[Aperitif]

These are all wax moose!
Look at the shine, the dummies in the near foreground, President Sarkozy and Saddam in the crowd...

Shattered illusion - I thought those curves were real

Well...actually, there might be a smidgeon of silicone lurking amongst them - maybe a closer inspection is needed?

I now believe the best Christmas carol to be Silent Nietzche. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of that whole business.

 

[Willow]

Choir only -In the Bleak Mid winter but has to be 'Darke's' version with solo treble for first verse, In dulci jubilo (8 part version can't remember who by)

Congregational probably Once In Royal with descant and whilst I don't particularly like Hark the Herald I love the full organ unison for the last verse on Christmas Morning.

I miss my singing, thinking of dragging boys along to Cathedral for lessons and carols Sunday evening, I will weep for sure! - so will they when they hear me sing!

 

[Cathryn]

Hark the Herald and Oh Come all Ye Faithful!! I love shouting out 'OH COME LET US ADORE HIM' like we did when we were kids!!! I LOVE carols!!

 

[Bigtallfatbloke]

Oh come let us adore him...christ I'm bored.

Gabriel's Message, (The angel Gabriel from heaven came...)

Ah yes, "most highly flavoured gravy" Love it when you've got an entire group of little kids in Mass and they're all singing that one

 

[Fab Foodie]

Ah yes, "most highly flavoured gravy"

Bi-i-i-i-i-i----i-sto

Yep, did that as a Choirister. Lovely to sing and to hear when sung by a small group in a big Cathedral acoustic.

 

[Blue]

Another vote for that one.

and in between the singing my friend and I used to eat our marzipan chocolates, our own little christmas tradition!

 

[Auntie Helen]

I like the minor key ones, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and "In the bleak midwinter" although I struggle with the rather inaccurate imagery in the second one. The descant in Hark The Herald is spine-tingling if you have a decent soprano singing it.

I'm now in a church choir which has some excellent professional singers in it (and then me!) but have gone down with a sore throat lurgi and have had to bow out of the 9 Lessons & Carols tomorrow night. Either that or I should learn the tenor/baritone parts and sing them!
