[SamanthaChurchill]

Aw good ol' Newfie Christmas song. I love it. :) Of course I'd rather the origional version by Simini(or however u spell it. lol.) but I think Great Big Sea done an awesome job singing it too. =) Beautiful pictures as well.

[ghcb1983]

[spirithound]

[Newfie4646]

[IchigoNoDo]

This is my favourite GBS song. <3

[prideofdarock]

it's not by GBS, Bud Davidge wrote the song in 1983 to record as SIMANI, this is a cover version by GBS

[lildeath5]

[KEMckay10]

I'm a newfie and I call my grandma mummer lol

[kitty16226]

what is a mummer?

[Jourell1]

mumming is a very old English tradition, essentially dressing up in costume and entertaining, singing songs and performing short skits. In newfoundland mummers traditionally dress up and travel door to door between Christmas and Twelfth day (Jan 6th) entertaining and are invited in for refreshments in return for their performance.

[gambergrocks]

awsome job great big sea i'm a newfie too!!!!!!!!!!

[marks985]

Well I'll tell you what this makes me homesick every year. Up here mummerin might get you arrested, like in mummers nigh in oshawa

[painlover20]

dude they have alot of newfoundland music. but they make different kinds cus they're known all over the world.

[ehockey191919]

Where is this song from? I have all of Great Big Sea's CD's and this isn't on any of them. It is such a great song!

[painlover20]

its a christmas song. for here in newfoundland

[NewfieBullett]

It is a cover from another legendary Newfoundland group, called Simani

[Daithi24]

Amazing pictures and a great song. And I thought us Irish had amazing scenery:-)

[GreeboScarr]

i like great big sea. But i am an australian with stange tastes... he he he... There is something good about having the same beat to every song though, it is the ability to sing s long in the car even when you don't know the words... or the tune for that matter.

[Jourell1]

Dont worry about it, liking BGS isnt so strange at all, at least you're not alone

[bydabay107]

if great big sea were singing the mummers, amazing grace or anything else it would have the same beat as all the rest of their songs, great big hpye about nothing

[jevyjakl]

my friedn is a nlnder

[TampaRed]

Oh, how I miss Home...

Merry Christmas everyone!

[ckendall67]

Can anyone post the original version, that song is a LEGEND here in Newfoundland...heck, I even know all the words to it:-D

[Deepsky27]

Thanks for posting this. I like the original better..but this is good, too. I think alot of people don't like Great Big Sea because Alan Doyle is an arse hole..so it's justified. =P Naw..they're alright.

I'm originally from Newfoundland and am living in WI and attenting college. This song really reminded me of home and helped me with my homesickness..

Thanks. =)

[PiMpiN92432]

the original is better

[MetalSanke]

Dont start that "so and so is better" crap

[tanker667]

Great Big Seac is a disgrace to this province the original version is awsome and this one just about ruined the song for me

[Kureal]

To each their own. I like the original better of course, but it's nice to hear somebody else's take on things sometimes.

[mastercharliescene]

@tanker667 fuck you ass hole -_-* learn to appericiate shit you dick wipe ? (;

[NovaScotiaNewfie]

@tanker667 I like this one better

[bullsleafs]

[Kureal]

Thanks, glad you like them! I'm in Springdale.

[wendy858]

I was in Newfoundland last week and had the pleasure of attending a house party where the hosts mummers come out to entertain the guests....what fun! My mother grew up there and used to mummer as well.

[bigriggin21]

[Star1953]
