I've seen this in two different forums today so aoplogies if you've seen it already but it made me laugh. Health & Safety and Equality Considerations for Christmas Songs The Rocking Song Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir; We will lend a coat of fur, We will rock you, rock you, rock you, We will rock you, rock you, rock you: Fur is no longer appropriate wear for small infants, both due to risk of allergy to animal fur, and for ethical reasons.

Please note, only persons who have been subject to a Criminal Records Bureau …

My daughter has just started reception and her Christmas play is coming up. I asked my head for time out that afternoon to go and see the play and she wasn't sure - she's thinking about it. I'm the only parent of a school-age child working full time at the school, but there are a couple of others with babies and she's anxious about setting a precedent for all teachers to go to their child's christmas play.

Maybe it's just my weird sense of humour but this really made me laugh It came in an email and the instructions were to sing it instead of read it! To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here are the lyrics she used: (Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!! Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up in string, These are a few of my…
