How many by comparison can sing the first verse of a christmas carol??????

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get you to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
how much fun it's going to be together
This Christmas
fire side is blazing bright
we're carolin' through the night
And this christmas will be a very special christmas for me.....
The best version is from Donnie Hathaway.
Silent night , holy night ----------dum de dum dumde dum
Cant do that either Although I thought I could
I wouldn't know a KH song if I tripped over it - but I really love some Christmas carols - sung with more enthusiasm too.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and everyone that saw it
they would even say it glows
all of the other reindeer
lalalala , bugger I can't remember what happens next but I know some reindeer laughed at him

Actually, Jingle Bells is a winter song since nothing about Christmas is ever mentioned. Actually it was originally written as a Thanksgiving song. I loved singing that song as a JW.
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
After hearing Christmas songs in school, on the radio, on television, in the stores, I retained some of the lyrics even as a JW. To tell you the truth, now that we are faders, I find that many non-JWs are not so up on the lyrics of these songs. I found out too that some churches did not sing songs such as "Away in a Manger" and "Silent Night" during their Christmas program sticking to their traditional hymns. Some are now starting to add those into the program.

Winter Wonderland

I had great fun singing that in front of dubs, Id wait until theyd say "you shouldnt sing that" Id innocently ask why, then after theyd sung it in there heads, theyd realize its got nothing to do with christmas, some would start singing it too , other would go on about stumbling others bla bla bla
I always secretly loved christmas carols, and humm along
Yes, vittvin, I used to tweak some of the "friends" by singing that song as well as the others I have listed under Winter Songs.
It was fun.
