As soon as I began to write I realized it was Tuesday! And this could be a Track Tuesday post. Music ROCKS.
Do you know this Christmas song? I remember learning it when I was a wee child at Sangre Ridge elementary school in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I start singing it around the first of December and randomly throughout the year. If you know me personally, you know that is completely normal for me.
It is usually sung as a round (and I LOVE singing in rounds!!! I don’t know why… is that a mental problem?) It is also I believe an English (meaning UK) Christmas song and maybe I am just getting back to my roots – my Grandpa on my father’s side was almost, if not, 100% English. So, listen up, have a spot of tea if you wish and sing along! And if you have some friends by you, then by George, strike up that round.
Oh, and if any of you can tell me what a ha’penny is, I would really ‘preciate it. Cheers!
Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got a penny then a ha’penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny then GOD BLESS YOU
And if I don’t make it back online before Sunday, a blessed Christmas to each and every one of you.
We love this one too! Of course my favorite version is by the Muppets, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and some others. Barbie and Ellie enjoy singing it at the top of our lungs. Merry Christmas to you Kim! hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs.
And I always look forward to Track Tuesday!
I love the Muppets version! Merry Christmas Susie!
