    God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - all time fave! Then again, I also adore Ding Dong Merrily On High for the "gloria in excelsis deo" bit. "Gloria" is just three syllables though and in the song it really isn't. Love singing that, it beats "five gold rings" for bits in a song everyone just has to join in with when they hear.

    Non-religious favourites include The Happiest Christmas Tree and Buon Natale (DS also loves these). Saviour's Day, Little Drummer Boy (Aled and Terry), Last Christmas, Driving Home For Christmas, Winter Wonderland... for the most part, I love them all! Ooooh, the 12 days of Christmas song that the chap who was Father Jack on Father Ted did - it's the thank you (or not) letters for all the gifts. Most amusing.

    I'm currently singing O Little Town Of Bethlehem as a lullaby for DS too.

    Carol of the Bells aka (in this house anyway, and I'm guessing most Family Guy fans) Ding Fries Are Done

    I love this one that my kids learnt at nursery

    Hee-haw, hee-haw
    does anybody care
    There's a baby in my dinner
    and its just not fair

    Jesus in the manger
    lying in the hay
    far too young to realise
    he's getting in the way

    I don't blame the baby
    not his fault at all
    but his parents really should respect
    a donkey's feeding stall

    After all that journey
    with my heavy load
    did I ever once conplain
    about that dreadful road

    I can cope with the backache
    and these swollen feet
    all I ask is some respect
    and one square meal to eat

    "Be prepared", I told them
    better book ahead
    Joseph said "Don't be an ass"
    and took a chance instead

    Now they've pinched my bedroom
    people are so rude
    I can cope with that but not
    a baby in my food
