Numbers 2 & 7 are what come first to my mind when I hear the word carol at this time of year, and of course the woman`s name Carol or Carole. However, I like numbers 1, 7, 8, & 9. They showed me that I sing carols 2 or more days a week, all year long. I sing joyous, lively songs at the song rehearsals and at my `Spiritual Centre`each week, as well as at home to practice and sometimes I like to sing happy, peppy songs with the radio. Gee, and I thought carols and caroling were only to do with Christmas songs.

Now I leave you with good wishes and a small Christmas carol, from me and my beloved animals:
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer: Refrain
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here: Refrain
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Learn more about Manic Monday here.
