Any type of song is acceptable, but I grew up with Christmas Carols so.....
For the P&L Crew -they aren't all silly!
Jesus, our brother, kind and good,
Was humbly born in a stable rude;
And the friendly beasts around Him stood.
Jesus, our brother, kind and good.
"I," said the Donkey, shaggy and brown,
"I carried His mother up hill and down;
I carried His mother to Bethlehem town."
"I," said the Donkey, shaggy and brown.
"I," said the Cow, all white and red,
"I gave Him my manger for His bed;
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head."
"I," said the Cow, all white and red.
"I," said the Sheep, with the curly horn,
"I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm;
He wore my coat on Christmas morn."
"I," said the Sheep, with the curly horn.
"I," said the Dove, from the rafters high,
"I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry;
We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I."
"I," said the Dove, from the rafters high.
Thus every beast by some glad spell,
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift he gave Emmanuel,
The gift he gave Emmanuel.
New Wassail!! All join in!!
That is lovely.
"I" said the chicken, feathered and gold
"I gave Him an egg, so warm to hold;
I gave Him some feathers so He'd not be cold"
"I" said the chicken, feathered and gold.
Ha! I knew we needed a chicken one. I just couldn't bring myself to change the one carol that already fit perfectly. I'm working on the "Carol of the Critters"
Dashing through the snow, to go collect some eggs
Through the yard I go, running to the coop,
As I hurry forward, my basket bumps my legs
I stumble then I hit the ground face down in chicken poop,
Ohhhh, jingle hens, jingle hens,
Jingle as you lay
Oh what fun, it is to watch
the chickens all at play.
ROFLOL!
I'm moving the X-mas songs over from the old thread -This one's Harmony's
Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs to Town, Oh what fun it is to be Bringin Eggs to Town.
Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs to Town, Oh what fun it is to be Bringin Eggs to Town.
Dashin up the road slingin lots of mud
watchin all the cows wiz by chewin on their cud.
OH Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs to Town, Oh what fun it is to be Bringin Eggs to Town.
Mama's ridein shotgun and Grandpa's in the back
Daddy's at the wheel and Grannys at the shack
OH Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs to Town, Oh what fun it is to be Bringin Eggs to Town.
Grandpa's buyin Backer and Daddy's gettin Stuff
Mama's buyin Yard Goods and Gettin Grannys Snuff
OH Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs to Town, Oh what fun it is to be Bringin Eggs to Town.
I got some Penny candy and a brand new Pocket Knife
I don't think i've ever been this happy in my life
OH Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs to Town, Oh what fun it is to be Bringin Eggs to Town.
Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs, Bringin Eggs to Town, Oh What fun it is to be Bringin Eggs to Town.
And here's Sheila's
My latest tune sung to "Away in the Manger"...
Away in the nest box no chips for a bed
The little hen tries to lay down her small egg
The roosters are crowing the hen tries again
But try as she might no egg does she make.
I love the little red hen for all of her eggs
but if she don't lay them she'll be sealing her fate
I don't want to take her to auction today
but try as she might no egg does she lay.
We watch little hens as they go to new homes
it sad but necessary for the farm that I own
I start to rethink that i made a mistake
and I rescue my hen from her crate and her fate.
we create a special new bond as we drive on home
she clucks and I talk all about the day long
she pecks so nicely at my driving hand
and nuzzles my neck as to say thank you ma'am
I built her a new coop just outside my door
the little hen loves it and stays there some more
one morning I woke up and what did I find
my little red hen left me an egg behind.
So remember to cherish the chickens you have
and try and keep them happy and dry and all fed.
they will give you eggs if you treat them just right
and always remember to close them at night!
And JKJ's Winter (Chicken?) Wonderland
roosters crow, are a listening
in the coop hens are hissing
a wonderful sound
as we walk around
a frosty chicken wonderland
in the garden we can here the peacocks
as they try to turn the rocks
i goout and yell P-E-A-C-O-CK!
turn around and here comes the flock
a wonderful sound
as we walk around
a frosty chicken wonderland
I wish you a happy bardyard
I wish you a happy barnyard
I wish you a happy barnyard
and many new chicks
good droppings they bring
for the garden this spring
good droppings for the garden
and many new chicks
JKJ - perfect! You crack me up!
Thanks Claire
wow! Publish that one JKJ!!!!
It really is too perfect -just sums it all up...
Santa baby, slip a silkie under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an old English game bird hen too, self blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the chickens that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna Wyandotte and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the feed
To fill my barn to the brim
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, please fill my stocking with hatching eggs and
An incubator so fine
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Randall Burkey's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a coop
I don't mean a 2-door car,
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Okay--Moxon is writhing provocatively on top of a John Deere dressed head to foot in polar fleece and flannel and wearing her chicken hat.
Oh Dear!
How did you see me!?? No fair, I was doing that in PRIVATE!!!
I was monitoring your latest mission, of course. Our technology is advancing rapidly.
May I suggest curtains, my dear Moxon? Curtains and blinds:0)
Well, it suits her, Cats! Don't be too mean!! Nice sheer white curtains, backlit...
Love the choice and rendition, Moxy!!
Thanks Grownut, it was my slinky side coming out! Cuz I'm oh-so-sexy in those flannel PJ's. :-)
Footed?
Um...no comment....
Well, at least we won the bet about the next pic being NOT a hatchling!
Well it does have birds on it!!!!!!
♪♪♪ Deck the coop with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Collect the poop and fill the trolley
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Mulch the gardens, collect the eggs
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Wassail with joy on Christmas Day
Fa-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaaaaaa-la-laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-la-la
Go Dahlin'!!
And for those of you who are presently experiencing a certain degree of envy....

I rest my case.
Eeeew. My feet are sweating already. Lovely selection if you like them I s'pose, but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool foot-sticker-outer...
I'm a classic tartan flannel gal. I marry them with gum boots or hot pink flip flops depending on Chinooks.
I'm a foot sticker-outer in bed, which is why I like the ones with the removable footies, so I leave 'em on in the evening when I'm puttering, but take them off when I go to bed. But sometimes, it's so dang chilly, that I leave them on anyway. I also have a snuggle sack. I will have to take a picture of that, it is too hard to describe. But it is foot-open.
BTW, in a blatant plug of my own blog here, I thought I'd point out that I'm doing a tomato seed give-away. See today's post...

Claire, you GO girl with a BLOG! That is so cool!! I of course am techie-challenged and blogless. I do have a Pebble Flintstones doo. I think that should count for something in the grand scheme of things, maybe, sorta, or probably not. I have also have a gargoyle. Nope not as cool. Crap I have nothing as cool as a BLOG :(
Dahlianut - it seemed technologically daunting until I actually went to the blogspot.com site and learned a little bit (very little bit) and realized it was dead easy. Really, it is. If you can post to DG, you can have a blog. The gargoyle is very cool. I don't have one of those. Catscan has a ceramic armadillo. She says it levitates. That is insanely cool.
I can't do a blog either but I have a dragon, that I made myself. Unfortunately I can no longer make them
I could do a blog, I just get tired of arguing with myself.. LOL
I have a "red thing" that I get to wear every Christmas season.. It's long john underwear in one piece.. it's so cool.. I mean warm.. and comfy and for once, the sleeves and pant legs are long enough!
When I open up the box of Christmas sweatshirts, I always dance around and sing to the kids.. I get to wear the red thing... I get to wear the red thing.. LOL
Okay.. I guess ya had to of been there...
Wicked cool dragon, wren!
ZZ--we will be broadcasting your red thing dance this Christmas...don't even bother looking for the bug.
Silent coop,
Cozy coop
chickens rest
so they ca do thier best
protective rooster by thier side
will protect them all threw the night
seethe eggs they lay
see the eggs they lay
Wren - that dragon is so cool! I love it! I'm so sad you can no longer make them. You are such an artist!
ZZ - suddenly I am guessing you are height-challenged (in the tall direction) like me, when you said that thing about the legs being long enough. I also have a red thing!
JKJ - excellent song. I was all quieted by it. Except the spelling police have to make their appearance to say:
threw = I "threw" the egg at JKJ.
through = I threw eggs all "through" the night.
I think I will sing the song to the chickies tonight to put them to sleep!
ok, tell spelling police i'm so sorry:(
No worries, the spelling police luv ya JKJ!
