Well the Christmas Season is upon us! Playing the piano for one of the local primary schools means we are into the nativity play season. Two today and a further two on Thursday, which means by my reckoning that Mary will have had no less than four immaculate conceptions! Is this a record?
The infants performed a wonderful little Nativity Play called the Nursery Rhyme Nativity – where all the songs words are written to fit Nursery Rhymes. However it was felt that we must also have one or two of the more traditional, and expected Christmas Songs and carols, so woven into the musical plot we also have “Away in a Manger”, “Jingle Bells” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”
This is fine as long as we don’t take too much notice of the Guidelines I received via e mail from a friend the other day.
Jingle Bells:
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
A risk assessment must be submitted before an open sleigh is considered safe for members of the public to travel on. The risk assessment must also consider whether it is appropriate to use only one horse for such a venture, particularly if passengers are of larger proportions.
Please note, permission must be gained from landowners before entering their fields. To avoid offending those not participating in celebrations, we would request that laughter is moderate only and not loud enough to be considered a noise nuisance.
To quote the words of another Christmas Song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!""Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!"
