The Curate in Highley (CIH)

These are the exploits of a clergyman. They tell of his experiences - some good and some not so good, the ups and downs of everyday life for someone who now lives life in the public eye.

Community Carol Singing

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way...

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
had a very shiny nose...

Hi.

The church organised a community carol singing event on Monday. The local brass band was there to lead us in singing some Christmas carols and the CIH was there to help with the distribution of free soup and rolls afterwards.

Over 100 people gathered to sing carols together as instructed by the band leader. Only problem was, he didn't seem to like doing more than two verses of any one carol - so just as we were getting into the swing of singing 'O come all ye faithful' he stopped the band and we moved swiftly on to the next one. Still it was good fun though.

Oh, another thought. The CIH was heard to mutter something along the lines of "since when have 'Jingle Bells' or 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' been carols."
