[thecrispbag]

Very very wonderful, fun for all the family

[ProblemChyle]

My favourite Christmas carol ever... never fails to make me laugh

[montgomeryrichard]

This guys got no idea. I would have killed partriges along with turtle doves placed in freezer ready to be cooked & eaten over xmas, instead of turkey.Pear tree decorated & used instead of xmas tree.called police & rspca to remove & return swans as protected birds which would have stopped any more stuff after 5 gold rings as she would be in prison for the swans.Rings sold to pay for damage & redecorate. simple when you know how bit of money left over to buy myself real present!

[babyhotso]

[aloysiussj]

"make the most decadent days of the Holy Roman Empire sound like" what?

it sounds like "wunderly wagon", but I'm guessing it's NOT that :-)

[missMJ95]

@aloysiussj wanderly wagon :)

[fjgh15]

Wanderly Wagon was a childrens' programme years ago, with puppets and songs and magic. Quite different to the scene described in the 12 days.

[JTMoomin]

Wnaderly Wagon was a kids programme on Irish TV back in the day,

"Outlook" was a religious affairs programme on TV back then too.

[hadders81]
