The Christmas carol that should be retired is…
Josh Thomson:
‘Good King Wenceslas’, or whatever it’s called. Too many syllables. You try dropping ‘Wenceslas’ into
everyday conversation.
Jeremy Corbett:
None. As I age myself I realise that great value comes with being old, out of date and a bit annoying.
Jeremy Elwood:
‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’. Who are these angels And why are they reading the Herald
Paul Ego:
Any song by Harold Angel. My parents had his Christmas album Hark, Harold Angel Sings when
I was growing up and it scarred me for life.
Urzila Carlson: I don’t mind carols; I mind Christmas albums. I make it my mission to hide all the Cliff Richard Christmas albums at my mother-in-law’s house! Yucky
Dai Henwood:
‘Good King Wenceslas’. No matter what, I always sing ‘Good King Wenceslaslas’ and then get corrected by
family members. Also, how do you look out on the feast of Stephen Why did Stephen put his feast outside Too many questions.
Worst Christmas gift you ever received
Josh Thomson:
About two square metres of blue cloth from my brother. He said he was going to make me some mint shorts. He didn’t. I still have a useless piece of blue material in my drawers, and nowhere to put my legs in summer.
Jeremy Corbett:
Jar of sand. And a Shari Lewis sticker. One of my brothers, Nigel, gave them to me. There was a stage
where we would put our Christmas wish list on the fridge. It soon became a joke list which I thought was hilarious. Never expected anyone to take it seriously. Damn.
Paul ego:
My brother wrapped up a marrow once and gave it to me on Christmas morning.
Urzila Carlson:
A month free gym membership (I got the same ‘free’ membership in my mailbox that week). Cheap ass.
Dai Henwood:
A pair of hyper-colour undies from an unnamed family member. Hyper-colour is the fabric that turns
a different colour when exposed to heat. Needless to say I didn’t model them.
Best Christmas gift you ever gave
Josh Thomson:
Probably that really expensive and well-thought-out thing to my fianc
