Just thought l would share these words with you.
As l can never remember them, and when l ask other people, they say the same. My mission now is to learn them by heart
Can you?. when asked? What were the 9 doing?
l can sing most carols verbatim, but this one always phases me
I WISH YOU A MERRY XMAS, I WISH YOU A MERRY XMAS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU ALL FROM OVER THE POND.

Something humorous to share about this song...Maxi and I know all the words to it although we only sing it after Thanksgiving each year.

One day in September, I spilled a trail of coffee all the way across the kitchen from the counter to the table. Bending down to start wiping it up just as Maxi started across the room to go get clothes from the dryer, I told him not to step in the coffee.

Jumping over the spill, he turned to me and grinned "I always knew Ten Lords A-Leaping would come in handy some day!"

It was hard to finish wiping up the spill while I was ROFLMAO.
