Advent Drabble 24 - Carol Singing

“You know a thing we’ve never done and I can’t believe we’ve never done it?” says Pete.

“Oh, God,” says Patrick. Usually when Pete says something like that, it’s about something absurd like getting shot out of cannons or floating in the air with balloons. “What?” he asks warily.

“We have never gone around at Christmas singing carols.”

Patrick considers. “Do people even do that anymore?”

“Most people don’t, but most people don’t have Patrick Stump.”

“So, when you say we should go around singing carols…”

“Oh, I mean you. Of course. Tricky, you would sing the most beautiful carols!”

Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you for all the prompts and for coming along on the ride with me! If you're celebrating, I hope you have a perfect day. If you're not celebrating, I also hope you have a perfect day.

Absolute perfection. Kudos to op.

For Christmas this year, I got a Jurassic Park Velociraptor toy, and even though it’s now a few days past Christmas, I decided to make this stopmotion video because I couldn’t stop laughing at the idea. Enjoy!

Animated with Stop Motion Studio Pro app on my iPad.

Wildwood Advent Day 15 sees Wren find his voice.

 Wren knew he had a loud voice. Not just a “loud for his size” voice – although his “Tiny Shouter” epithet was obviously correct – but a “loud in general” voice. Since he always tried to be a polite and considerate bird, he did his best to modulate it to acceptable levels when he was with others. Which was fine and good and he didn’t mind at all. Except, that is, when it came to singing.  …

Carol Singing

‘Tis the season for carol-singing. As illustrated in the entries from last late spring/early summer, carols were not always restricted to Christmas. Originally a carol was simply a song with a refrain, sung in unison to a round dance and could accompany any merry-making event. Over the years they have become associated almost entirely with the Christmas season, and usually have a religious theme. The heyday of carol writing was the nineteenth century when Victorian churchmen or their wives would write songs to celebrate the Nativity to be sung by their congregations and choirs. However, carolling has a long history and the in pre-Civil War Middle Ages, after which so many were banned by the victorious Puritans, carols often had interesting, and slightly heretical, subject matter.

In the Cherry Tree Carol, a disgruntled Joseph refuses to pick cherries for his craving-possessed wife, advising Mary to get the father of her child to pick her the berries. The infant Jesus in his mother’s womb orders the cherry trees to bow to Mary so she can easily pick the fruit. The child - still in utero - then tells an awed Joseph the date of his coming birth - the 6th January! In The Bitter Withy, a resentful young Jesus, spurned by his rich friends as an impoverished Jew, creates a bridge across a river with sunbeams and runs across. His playmates follow, only for the beams to melt away, leading to the children to drown in the waters beneath. When their outraged parents complain to Mary, she puts her son across her knee and wallops his backside with a bundle of withies from a willow tree as punishment, leading the infuriated and tearful Jesus to curse the willow and condemn it to be the first tree to perish from the earth, which may account for the tree’s sinister reputation in folklore.

Many of the medieval carols have been resurrected by modern folk artists and delight again with their strange non-Biblical stories of the infant Jesus.

Ran into this reminder on the street that the sweetest voices are rarely the loudest.

Time to bring back the Sing: A Christmas Carol idea i had in my head last year that I never really made anything for other than 2 doodles

The Moon theatre is putting on a classic for the holidays! But on opening night the lead ends up being a no-show, and his understudy is home sick! So Moon himself is forced to take on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, somehow the ghost of Christmas future ALSO was a no show! But it's ok, a mysterious tiny figure showed up to take his place... This joke was better before we saw Mike was still alive in the halloween short-
