    As Posy is a Christmas moderator I think it's the law that her motion passes.

    Yep that makes perfect sense.

    I'm sure Toto, kitten, scorpion, levar, osh, Kolido, Homer, strawberry, Sheridan and tusk are shaking in their boots! :D

    It's a classic tale of the lower ranks overthrowing those high society types.

    Today's comments
    Probably one of the most difficult questions so far. Going to answer now as I will keep changing my mind.
    Decisions, Decisions... Lots of good ones that could potentially sheep, so I'm just going to go with my personal favourite and hope for the best...
    Noooooooo!!!! Why carols? Do people like the slow and boring ones like Silent Night, a bit more up beat with We Wish You A Merry Christmas or more child friendly Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer?????

    I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. :(

    Can I choose the answer that SHEEPs pretty please? :p
    Saaaaake.

    I had one in my head then I went and googled. WHY!!!!?
    Oh no. This is gonna be another sh1t show. I'm so freakin conflicted here. What even constitutes a Carol? Does it have to be religious in nature? Wikipedia says "A Christmas carol is a carol whose lyrics are on the theme of Christmas, and which is traditionally sung on Christmas itself or during the surrounding holiday season. Christmas carols may be regarded as a subset of the broader category of Christmas music."
    But....Wikipedia also defines a carol as: "A carol, in modern English, is a festive song, generally religious but not necessarily connected with church worship, and often with a dance or a popular character."

    Ok Jingle Bells was my initial thought. And Wikipedia does say that this is one of the Christmas carols so I'm going with that. And damn you all to hell if it doesn't sheep!

    I've maybe overthought this a wee bit. :o

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    I regret nothing... O Holy Night has that epic shift in the middle and it should've sheeped even though I suspected it probably wouldn't, was always gonna stick with the better song on this one.

    I don't think of Jingle Bells as a carol. It did cross my mind, but I ended up going for the more carolly Silent Night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    I googled christmas carols & O Holy Night was the first one there.

    Last time I ask Google.

    Yeah, I’d never consider it to be a carol either. I was surprised to see it get any votes at all.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Pleasantly surprised at the big sheep here; I was thinking after I should have gone for O'Holy Night. Can't believe some of the low scores here, and those that nobody went for (Ding Dong Merrily On High, Hark the Herald Angels Sing Once In Royal David's City....We Wish You a Merry Christmas ffs!!) :eek:

    Glad Silent Night did well though, it's a lovely tune in any language (whoever said it was slow and boring can go do one. :mad: )

    Can't fathom how we had a question about the carol 12 days of Christmas and I'm the only one who remembered.

    That seems like a lifetime ago. This game has been going on for what feel like 12 years now. :pac:
    Tomorrow's question won't be out until the morning, don't be waiting up!
    Anyone else think this is a bluff and planning to stay up all night with several cups of coffee?

    No, me neither. Goodnight all.

    It was years before I realised the font of Celebrations is all (or some?) of the fonts on the different sweets inside! I thought it was a fun mix of colours and fonts to represent the fun mix of sweets :pac::D
