    AAAH, the bastardization, Nos!

    O Canada
    Our home and native land
    True nature flaw (True patriot love)
    Beyond my son's command (In all thy sons' command)
    With glowing hearts, the sea may rise (...we see thee rise)
    Our true north strong and free (THE true north...)
    From far and wide
    O Canada, we stand on god for thee (Stand on GUARD...)
    O Keep our land (God keep our land)
    Glorious and free
    O Canada we stand on god for thee (Stand on GUARD...)
    O Canada we stand on god for theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! (Stand on GUARD...)

    See? Very militaristic and nationalistic and gender-biased. Don't mess with it!

    This is the carol your wife was asking about

    Hark, Harold the angel sings, glory to the new born king

    Peas on earth and heavens wild

    God and sinners will concil

    LOL

    Hark the herald angel sings

    glory to the new born king

    peace on earth and mercy mild

    god and sinners reconcilled

    Joyful all ye nations cried

    join the chorus of the skies

    With angelic hosts proclaim

    Christ is born in bethlehem

    Then there is :

    Silent night, holy night

    all is come

    all is bright

    round yon virgin, mother and child

    holy infant so tender and mild

    sleep in heavenly peace

    sleep in heavenly peace

    Silent night, holy night

    son of god

    love's first light

    radiant beams from thy holy face

    (I can't remember any more words to the song

    Sleep in heavenly peace

    sleep in heavenly peace.

    Wanna know more? LOL And to think I am pagan!

    hark the herald angels sing

    Beecham's powders just the thing.....

    Can't remember the rest!

    Another belter -

    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 on my sack

    My nose is tickly too

    When Santa got stuck up the chimney

    Achoo achoo achoo!


    - Well I liked it anyway

    Well....I know Jingle Bells which was apparently one of my grandfather's favorites that was always excused as being "wintery" instead of christmas-y. And I know Deck the Halls well enough to bluff through the parts I dont remember (liberal fa la la la la's seems to work!).

    But on the other hand I do know the national anthem...in two languages. (And sang it in public too!)

    I like the one that starts

    Oh come all ye faithful, also hark the Herald angles sing, and Oh little town of bethlem (sp)

    but that 's all i know, but i like the tunes

    I like Rocking arond the Xmas tree, . years ago i used to find myself singing xmas songs at work duirng summer. people always laughed but it brought a smile to all.
