Another Joke Christmas Carol

Samantha decided to go carol singing on Christmas Eve. She knocked on the door of a house and began to sing.

A man, holding a clarinet, opened the door to the house. In a few seconds tears were streaming down his face.

Samantha continued singing for at least a further 20 minutes.  She sang every carol she knew. At last she stopped. 'I understand,' she said softly. 'You are remembering your happy childhood Christmas days. You really are extremely sentimental.'

Choking back the tears the man answered between sobs, 'No……….I'm a musician.'

A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens in 1834.  It is perhaps the first time we see the idea of celebrating Christmas at home with the family.  The story features such famous characters as Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit, and of course the Ghosts of Christmas, Past, Present and Future.

Ebenezer ScroogeEbenezer Scrooge - A Christmas Carol

Scrooge is the world's most maligned character. How do we think of Ebenezer Scrooge?  Firstly it's always Scrooge and never Ebenezer, secondly we always see him as hating children and being mean with money. If you find the time to read Charles Dickens novel 'A Christmas Carol', then you will discover a more complex personality. Indeed, the novel shows that Scrooge as a Jekyll and Hyde tendencies, where good overcomes evil.

The name Scrooge has become synonymous with meanness, and nothing is likely to change that general perception. We must also remember that Scrooge is a product of his time - London in the 1840s.

The Original Scrooge

The original Scrooge (who pre-dated Ebenezer) was probably Oliver Cromwell and his Puritan Council, who, in December 1657 abolished all Christmas festivities. These were restored in 1660 when King Charles the second was returned to the throne.

Jingle Bells by James Pierpoint

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

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

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

Let It Snow! by Sammy Cahn

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Fred Coots and Henry Gillespie

You better watch outSanta Claus Is Coming To Town
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

White Christmas by Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.Will's Garden

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

Footnote:
This photograph is of Will's back garden, and was taken by his son, Alex. It reminds him of the Irving Berlin song, 'White Christmas', immortalised by Bing Crosby and regularly sung by Will's late father as he pottered at home. Interestingly, however, the picture was taken on 6th April –not at Christmas time – furthermore, Will lives in the south of England where it rarely snows. This snowfall was a freak.
