    In a previous topic I ask if anyone could sing a kingdom song off by heart.

    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.

    I wouldn't know a KH song if I tripped over it - but I really love some Christmas carols - sung with more enthusiasm too.

    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.

    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

    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.
