The choir sounds like one out of Le Chorus

The song starting "In the Dead of Night....." is called "The Babe of Bethlehem" from the CD "Bath Abbey Girls Choir sings Christmas Carols.'

Thank you so much for posting these videos. Just what I was looking for! I can almost smell the mince pies!

[torijane212]

What is the song called that the boys/men are singing?

[27069614]

@srculver Yes this is true! When i was younger we left mince pies but with milk instead of wine. I guess thats a native cultural twist between our countries.

[srculver]

did he say they leave Santa minced pies and wine? so different from the states: cookies and milk

This is a variant of "here we go around of mulberry bush" for this case is " here we go up to Bethlehem"
