I'd have to give my favorite off to "The Holly and the Ivy", though--maybe it's because it isn't run over and over on the radio, say, ever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9671630.post-1166069796907489642006-12-14T18:01:00.000+13:452006-12-14T18:01:00.000+13:45LOVE #1 & #4.

I think it's probably a more modern carol but it still sounds like a proper carol and not something they'd play on the radio along with "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", ugh.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't expect you to know #3. It's a really corny NZ version of A Partridge in a Pear Tree... ie, "5 big fat pigs, 4 huhu grubs, 3 flax kits, 2 kumara, and a pukeko in a punga tree..." etc etc.<BR/><BR/>#5 is the one that's fun to sing because you get to go "Glo-o-o-o-o-o-......o-o-o-o-ria, Hosanna in Excelsis" in the chorus!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125437682195078847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9671630.post-1166023099199956992006-12-14T05:03:00.000+13:452006-12-14T05:03:00.000+13:45You know, I've never heard #2 or #3 on your list. ...You know, I've never heard #2 or #3 on your list.
