The Delights of the Season

So today I went to our Carol Concert. I think I love carols more than anything about Christmas, apart form the lights, which never fail to turn me into a five year old, incapable of saying anything beyond "Shiny. Pretty. Sparkly. Twinkly."

I have been to a goodly number of these over the years, which has led me being able to pretty much recite any part of the Nativity, the Bible Version, and also, I have many delightful entries for that fun game "What small children think the lyrics of carols are!" Can you guess what they are?

"Go, Teletubby mountain"

"We three kings of Orry and tar" (Orry is a Manx boy's name)

"Two turtles gloves"

"I am the Lord of the damn settee"

There also used to be a little girl who would just sing "lalala Jesus" all the way through every song.


To give you a flavour of Christmas at home with my family, here is a typical scene.

lal, Grandmother and Great-Aunt are sitting in the dining room wrapping presents. occasionally one will hum a bit of a Christmas tune, two kittens are playing with the paper.

Great-Aunt: This is all very Little Women isn't it?
*present falls to the floor*
Grandmother: Oh, fuck a duck!


And oh bother, its somehow been a month since I updated Mission101. I am determined to keep this up if it kills me!
