Not-So-Common Christmas Carols

This week I was lucky enough to be shortlisted in the BMB Brilliance in Blogging Awards in 'Best Fresh Voice' - which is a category for new bloggers. On hearing the news I was obviously thrilled, but that quickly turned to terror when I realised I would have to post something worthy of the nomination - otherwise it's a bit like getting caught with your trousers down (or as my fellow nominee over at Alexander Residence noted 'it's like being in an accident without matching underwear'. Ha ha ha I laughed - as if any of us have matching underwear!)
So I thought about what I would post - A Dear Santa Letter?, The Annual Marital Argument whilst decorating the Christmas Tree, The Joys of Blogging...To be honest I was getting my non-matching knickers in a bit of a twist so I decided to throw caution to the wind and act like I'm funny with:

My Christmas List of Alternative Carols 

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Just don't get too pissed in front of the in-laws.

The Weather Outside is Frightful - I just slipped on my ass in front of the neighbours.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer - Was an alcoholic.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town - Lock up your daughters.

I Saw Three Ships - Then I realised it was just one and I'd drunk too much.

The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot - Was actually on the naughty list.

Angels We Have Heard On High - Where'd ye get that weed?

The First Noel - Was Edmonds, then came Gallagher.

We Three Kings Of Orient Are - Lost. How did we end up in this dump?

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Sleep it off on the sofa you drunken fools.

Santa Clause Got Stuck In My Chimney - Fat Bastard


Oh dear - I think I may have blown it....

(Oh and thanks for all your lovely votes - you really are very good looking you know). x

  4. Wonderful list, thanks--we've been singing your version of 'frightful weather' all week. And matching or non-matching underwear aside, congratulations! Much deserved, keep up the good stuff.
