a video I wish we had.....

.

Once upon a time, not so very long ago as parents remember such things, my extended family gathered to celebrate Christmas.

The children were little -- perhaps 1, 4, 6, 6, 8?

One evening they were taking turns singing Christmas songs. Picture the scene -- everyone sitting in a large and comfortable room, the tree decorated and lit, the dog waving his plumy tail, the adults thoroughly enjoying the kids............

Each child had a few turns. It got harder to think of a new song.....

My younger niece, the one who was about four at the time, took her next turn, and belted out Monty Python's "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK."

And no video. Alas.



It's not our Ms. M., but here is video of Monty Python's rendition.........
