I had the Carols From Kings and the service from Manchester on the TV as background music, and got to wondering how many ways I could get thrown out of a church.
There's the bit where the congregation respond "I believe" for a start, either I could get thrown out for responding "oh no it isn't / it's behind you!", or go with it and get ejected for perjury. Then I could be singing the alternative words to 'While Shepherds Watched...'

The one I remember (from schooldays} involved socks, but I'm sure there are others.

Tell you what, actual Christmas is a bit of an anticlimax. Friday I went to the Thursford Christmas Spectacular (look it up), and that was a hard act to beat.

Well the expectations raised by the hype for weeks (or months) beforehand are always going to be hard to meet.

That is why starting to think about Christmas as soon as the guy has burnt his boots is not a good idea. Christmas Eve is plenty of time to plan for the big day itself.

Yes, whilst watching the "wrong" channel and somebody coming to correct the situation.
A trio of monarchs from Orry and Tar, and modes of transport.
Then there was another K, involving glazing, and burnt parts.
Thirty plus years ago I was working for Steinway and tuned a piano at a Thursford show (not Christmas but a late summer event) for Russ Conway, delightful man.
