Ban it. I'm sorry Coconut. That sounds tough. It is however one of Rammie's favourite songs (all I want for Christmas is ewe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loweman2 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I love all the old 70s & 80s Christmas songs, reminds me of being a kid, the excitement that Christmas used to bring, I was lucky enough to have massive family christmases with nans and grandads, aunts and uncles and all my cousins, it wasn't about the presents it was the being together ! Didn't realise that at the time, I think that's why I still love Christmas now, special time of the year for family ! Any how enough rambling, for me I think this is my favourite!

Ewetube Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I must admit I quite look forward to this time of year to hear this played on the radio: A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar, 'Twas light years of time since his mission did start, And over a village he halted his craft, And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star He followed a light and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed, A bright light of silver shone round his head, And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear, I come from a planet a long way from here, And I bring a message for mankind to hear, " And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air And it went La La peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child This lovely music went trembling through the ground, And many were wakened on hearing that sound, And travellers on the road, the village they found, By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round And just before dawn at the paling of the sky, The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly, When two thousand years of your time has gone by, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry" And it went La La This song will begin once again To a baby's cry And it goes La La peace and goodwill to all men, and Love for the child Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again, There are thousands standing on the edge of the world, And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
