ON CHRISTMAS DAY 1914

 

Just after midnight on Christmas morning the unofficial “Christmas Truce” began, German troops ceased firing their guns and artillery and then started singing Christmas carols. Later in the day men from both sides left their trenches and met in No man's land where they traded gifts with the enemy. The truce lasted for three days.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

 

You better watch out

You better not cry 

Better not pout 

I'm telling you why 

Because Daddy

Has just worked

A 14 hour day

And now has to drive

300 miles of Christmas traffic

To spend another bloody Christmas

At Grandma Browns

House of doom

So he is not in the mood

For any of your shit

OH SANTA CLAUS THE BELLS THE BELLS ARE CALLING

Oh Santa Claus the bells the bells are calling

From town to town, where goodwill doth abide

The summers gone, the autumn leaves have fallen

We’re near, we’re near another Christmas tide

 

So come ye back to us on Christmas Evening

When all the land is hushed and white with snow

And we will leave your milk and cookies

Oh Santa Claus, you know we love you so

HER WASSAIL

 

She would sing for her supper

And wail for her wassail

To get her turkey dinner

And a pint of Christmas ale
