bodhigirlsmiles Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 That one has got to be the most dismal carol ever. Used to depress me beyond belief when I was a kid.Now "Good King Wenceslas." That rocks.speaking of dark lyrics in christmas songs....what is everyone's take on this one:It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The YearIt's the most wonderful time of the year With the kids jingle bellingAnd everyone telling you "Be of good cheer" It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest season of allWith those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings When friends come to call It's the hap- happiest season of all There'll be parties for hosting Marshmallows for toasting And caroling out in the snow There'll be scary ghost stories And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago scary ghost stories?? i'm guessing that this is in reference to charles dickens. anyone have any other theories?

Iggy Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Be near me,Lord Jesus;I ask thee to stayClose by me forever,and love me, I pray. Going off topic here for a little story:When I first came to the ward I am in, the Bishop asked me to befriend a single sister. She was 82 years old, dirt poor, no education, she lived in an extremely filthy, rodent infested tiny camper trailer. I picked her up and took her home from Church every Sunday.This women smelled bad, she talked loud and she loved to sing. She obviously was tone deaf, and she didn't know the LDS Hymns, but that didn't stop her from belting out the Hymn. She sat next to me at all the meetings. I loved it! No where in the scriptures does the Lord say we have to sing praises to Him in tune or even in tempo. I loved singing when I sat next to her. No one could tell who was singing the worst. We both opened our mouths and SANG praises to God, and we did it with great love and gusto. At least I did. All of you, Truegrits especially and me:p, sit up straight so you are not hunching down on your diaphragm, throw your shoulders back, take deep breaths, open your mouths and lets joyously and respectfully sing forth the beautiful Christmas carols. Father and Jesus do not care if we are in tune or tempo. They hear the joyousness of our hearts. Edited December 12, 2008 by Iggy spelling, what else????

No where in the scriptures does the Lord say we have to sing praises to Him in tune or even in tempo. Yeah, doesn't it say in Psalms to make a "joyful noise" unto the Lord? (My turn...)It came upon the midnight clear,That glorious song of old,From angels bending near the earthTo touch their harps of gold:Peace on the earth,Good will to menFrom heaven's all-gracious king.

kona0197 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Speaking of singing Christmas songs I heard some people singing some today and for some reason could not stand it. But then again I am not a guy that likes it when people other than the pros sing. I really stay away from American Idol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Oh my heck. What the? So now you are dissing Christmas carols? This is a thread to sing along..not to voice your opinion. Stay with the topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john doe Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 This question just popped into my head, and excuse me for going off topic, but do the greeters at Walmart have to take classes before they are allowed to clean the baskets and line them up for the next customer? Does it take much specialized training to run the scan gun they use to deactivate the anti-theft strips that the cashier forgot to do? Sorry for interrupting, Iggy, but it just came to me and bugged me for a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john doe Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I don't know - I'm a Cashier. Could you find out? Cause I think my dad would be perfect for the job. He's only 82. He just wouldn't be able to sit in a class with some snot-nosed 32 year-old associate junior manager of the boy's clothing department telling him what to do. He'd probably strangle the punk with his ID lanyard after about an hour. So, if there is some way he could bypass the class on how to ignore customers standing next to you saying 'excuse me, can I get some help?' that would be great.
