Twelve Days Of Christmas
 
When singing this song at Christmas, remember that it's four collie birds, and not calling birds.

Anybody else get vexed on this matter?

Just about all Christmas songs are really aggravating to me. I just realized this last night.
But, I dont really make that mistake because I dont know all the words to that one, and if I did I probably wouldn't sing it anyway

Pookie 12.16.2006 11:25 AM

Well boo hiss to you. Consider yourself crossed off my Christmas invitation list.

Savage Clone 12.16.2006 11:27 AM

Of all the Christmas songs that have ever existed, this is perhaps the worst one of all.

I hate that kind of fucking "House That Jack Built" lyrical structure.
Shit drives me crazy.

NO NO NO Pookie
I dont mind Christmas at all man. It's the songs. Not the people, not the season, not that warm fuzzy feeling you get as young boy on Christmas eve when you know you got some sweet stuff under the tree that your parents (and Santa) got for you. Just the songs

Oh, OK then. If you're in the area on Christmas Day, consider yourself invited.

It's about the birth of Jesus (your saviour, remember Him?).

All is calm, all is bright round yon(der) Virgin Mother (Mary) and child (little baby Jesus).

Substitute "Christmas" for "life".

Good idea.

I usually gather together all our Christmas CD's (not that we have that many) and make a compilation of the best bits.

ALIEN ANAL 12.18.2006 04:39 AM

yeh i love xmas too, its lots of pavlova, presents and drinking, whats not good about that. Unless your like so alternative you hate anything that is supose to be liked

SynthethicalY 12.18.2006 04:42 AM

All I want for x-mas is this stupid so called war against x-mas to stop.

jon boy 12.18.2006 09:28 AM

there is far too much pressure to enjoy christmas. i mean am i supposed to enjoy it because someone else does?

sonicl 12.18.2006 09:31 AM

It's true what they say about Yorkshiremen isn't it? Miserable bastards, every one of them.

jon boy 12.18.2006 09:35 AM

not when we are drunk or down t'pit or indeed playing with kestrels.

c'mon kes c'mon kes.

sonicl 12.18.2006 09:40 AM

I can see why you all worship Geoffrey Boycott now.

jon boy 12.18.2006 09:46 AM

well at least we dont want to be spanked.

and yes we all worship the wifebeating plain speaking walking continent of common sense that is geoff boycott.

Pookie 12.18.2006 09:52 AM

Then he slithered and slunk, with a smile most unpleasant,
Around the whole room, and he took every present!
Pop guns! And bicycles! Roller skates! Drums!
Checkerboards! Tricycles! Popcorn! And plums!
And he stuffed them in bags. Then Jon Boy, very nimbly,
Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimbley!

jon boy 12.18.2006 09:58 AM

i know and now i am bloody knackered. note to everyone: stop giving so much for xmas. i cannot keep stealing it all as its too heavy.

Pookie 12.18.2006 10:00 AM

I am prepared to quote the ENTIRE book between now and Christmas.

jon boy 12.18.2006 10:00 AM

please record this on a tape and send it to me.

Pookie 12.18.2006 10:04 AM

Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Crumpit,
He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it!
"Pooh-Pooh to the boardies!" he was Jon Boy-ishly humming.
"They're finding out now that no Christmas is coming!"

jon boy 12.18.2006 10:08 AM

i hope that the good people of your town dont want insurance while you think of rhyming things to type into the sy board!

i am the grinch and i fully admit it. my heart is as black as coal. bitches.

btw i helped two small children decorate a tree on sunday. and i spent far too much money on a present for my sister today.

jheii 12.18.2006 10:09 AM

My mother passed away last October and my father works in an area of Baghdad known as "The Triangle of Death," so the meaning of Christmas has changed a bit for me these past two years. I don't consider myself a Christian, so Christmas is more of a family tradition in my eyes than a celebration of something specific, and without much of a family the holiday has lost a lot of its meaning. That said, I'm still not a "Grinch." I enjoy buying people presents, if for no other reason than to know that my money is going toward something that isn't going to intoxicate me. I like that a lot of my friends are a little nicer and a little more forgiving of myself and others this time of year. I like seeing pointsettias in shop windows and wreaths and red ribbons hanging from 300 year old oak trees in my town. I like seeing the smile on children's faces when Santa "Father Christmas" Clause waves and tosses them a wink from the steps of the board of education building. I like trying to guess who's going to tell me "Merry Christmas" and who's going to settle for "Happy Holidays." It's nice...

porkmarras 12.18.2006 10:18 AM

Right,we've just had the christmas carol at work and now i want to die.

sonicl 12.18.2006 10:20 AM

Merry Christmas, boardies!

You're thinking of the other middle-aged English bloke.

It's books the people round these parts are being deprived of while I'm on here.
