Singing Silent Night on Christmas Eve

[Tiggles]

Is anyone else planning on singing Silent Night from their doorsteps on Christmas Eve at 7pm?
Seen it advertised as Carol for Wales but think we need some good cheer spread across the whole of the UK with the news today.

No I fking ain't. Too tired from jingling me farking bells at 6pm. Enough!

Absolutely not. Whole 'stand at your door and be a knob' stuff is getting out of hand.

The clapping was one thing, and it had its moment. I wish everyone would stop trying to start these things.

@FlibbertyGiblets 🤣😂.

@Tiggles Silent night is a lovely carol but always makes me cry, singing it on a doorstep will not cheer me up.

I'm more likely to stand on my doorstep to give a very rousing rendition of 'Merry Christmas Maggie Thatcher' from Billy Elliot changing her name to Boris Johnsons'.

Alternatively I'll throw my Christmas tree into the road whilst drinking the copious amounts of alcohol we had bought for the family.

TBD.

So that's a no then

DP and I play in a brass band, and two other members live across the street - so we will be providing some carols for the neighbours from our doorsteps on Christmas Eve. Whether they like it or not! Haha.

That sounds fab @lindaellen

I'm not, you have not heard my singing!

LindaEllen now THAT I would jingle my bells for.

number 9 with massive and hilarious pause please

No, I need dd to get to sleep!

IMO Silent Night is not the best carol if you are not a brill singer.Which I am not,sadly.

Christ almighty, no!!!

No I thought we left all of that shite in the spring 😫

I suspect if I did it would encourage people to drive long distances to a tier four area from our tier two.

Sounds like a bloody awful idea.

And can you imagine how furious people will be if they've just got their hyper, excited kids off to bed and the frigging neighbours start warbling - or worse still, tooting their sodding trumpets?!

Maybe instead they could change the rules to allow the emergency services staff who are working Xmas eve and Xmas day actually meet up with their families at Christmas.

I think that would mean much more to them than vacuous singing.

And I say this as someone who absolutely LOVES a brass band.

Ha I knew exactly which carol it was, didn't even need to look in my book!

So long as we steer clear of the mad road-map arrangements at the back of the book we'll be grand!

Thumbs up!

Oh behave, the kids will love it (and what kid is asleep at 4.30 on Christmas Eve?)

^ that's when we're planning to play I mean.

LindaEllen put a bucket out for folk to pop donations for the band in, safely distanced from aerosolised droplets of course. You might be surprised how many notes and coins might find their way in....
