After nearly 2 months of dead air, it’s time to start blogging again. In honor of the season (and to show off my collection of holiday art), I give you 12 days of Christmas, starting with Walt Kelly. Everyone sing along!

Ha! So much like all those other misheard hymns and carols from childhood. Try this, from the popular BBC Songs of Praise:
By the way, did you know that Deck the Halls is based on a medieval Welsh instrumental tune? It’s Nos Galan or ‘New Year’s Eve’ (literally ‘The Night [before] the Calends [the first day]’)
Double Ha! My lipreading skills aren’t very strong, but my guess is the congregation and choir weren’t singing the words in the subtitles. What a relief!
I’m still on verse one of When Shepherds washed their socks by night.
Ah yes, Simon. I know the Vicar of Dibley version to this, sung by Hugo Horton: “All seated on the bank” Of course it gets very rude.
Ours was more homespun:
‘all seated round the tub
The angel of the lord came down
And gave them all a scrub”
Quite sweet really…and it gave a bunch of 8 year old boys in Lancashire a giggle back in ’68.
I’m giggling now, Simon!
