Christmas Carols

I quite like Christmas carols, despite my somewhat Scrooge-ish take on Christmas (bah! Humbug!), mostly because you can mess with them.

My favourite is While Shepherds Washed:

While Shepherds Washed their Socks by Night
All Seated Round the Tub,
The Angel of the Lord came Down
and Gave them all A Scrub.

You know your child is growing up when she sings you a naughty carol version you've never heard before!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
Uncle Billy lost his willy
Jingle all the way!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
Aunty Ruby lost her boobies
Jingle all the way!

At least I think that's what she sang, there was a lot of giggling going on!

What carols/naughty versions do you like?

The version my son sings goes "Uncle Billy lost his willy / on the motorway".

How about this one:
While shepherds washed their songs by night all watching ITV,
The angel of the Lord came down and switched to BBC.

You probably need to live in Britain to appreciate the finesse in that one!

Oops, the shepherds are washing their *socks*. Sorry!

My brother and I made up a whole 'nother version of The Christmas Song one year,

Chester's nuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost biting off your nose,
Yuletide carolers being gunned by the mob
and folks beating up on Eskimos.

And it goes on. It made us laugh insanely and now I look back and wonder at how violent we were!

Nope, don't really sing those carols nor do I let that music in the house until the day before and day in question.

But those are some great versions.
