Come and Be part of the Celebration.
That is the happiest carol of all of them! It was written for kids however grown-ups can sing it too.
I first heard it at Cotton Methodist Church within the 1980’s the place my late Father in Legislation had been a member since a small boy and was a preacher/lay reader within the Methodist Circuit. Our two eldest kids went to Sunday College there earlier than we moved away and we at all times went at Christmas.

When T was for Treats in November, I did not point out one other that generally occurs – relying on circumstances…………….. A bunch of flowers for Christmas – one thing a bit larger than the occasional £2 bunch from Aldi.
