We are not religious either, we have had some sad and poor experiences at the hands of organised religion.  But we do have an abiding faith and belief in God  :)

When I was at junior school one Christmas we had to learn a song that went  :whist:

'when Santa got stuck up the chimney
he began to shout
you girls and boys
won't get any toys
if you don't pull me out.

My beard is black
there's soot in my sack
my nose is tickling too

When Santa got stuck up the chimney
atchoo atchoo atchoo'

I have never ever forgotten it.  Does anyone else remember it?

I absolutely remember that Babyjane!! I used to sing it to my children and my daughter when teaching English at a prep school in Paris, taught it to the children there. I bet the little ones had no idea what they were singing!

I know what I'm going to be humming all day today  ;D

Thomas Clark did indeed write his music as a hymn tune for While Shepherds.  Despite all attempts to appropriate it for Yorkshire, he came from Kent, and the tune is called 'Cranbrook'.   ;D

I have been practicing my semi-tones for The Christmas Song all morning and will be glad when it over  :(

(It is driving me 'nuts')

My nana used to ove Johnny Mathis - one day she beckoned me over to mouth some news she'd read about him , probably in the news of the world which my rather straight laced grandad used to take for some bizarre reason, and told me that he was " bifocal."" - took me a bit to work out she meant bisexual!!!

I don't think he was really but that never stopped the news of the world or my nana getting hold of the wrong end of the stick. ( ooh err)
