My Nanna used to sing this to me when I was a child from the midlands I remember every word

You lily &James potter harry Potter

WTF is WRONG with you?

Beautifully read….

2008 styled video. :)

Always wanted to play the theme on a therimin. It's just a perfect fit.

That'll keep you fit 😅

I used to live in York and the minster is beautiful, but Wells cathedral is my favourite 🙏🏻

Lovely - and many more blooms than I would have thought for Yorkshire in late Winter!

Was there more filming nearby? It seems strange that they might have filmed this without other scenes nearby. I mean, its good that hurricanes hardly ever happen there, but there must be more to it

Amazing that this place was used in the movies! Beautiful scenery! Thank you for showing the world the magic!

Christmas Eve all dark and cloudy, Time to go to bed, Hang your little socking up just above your head. For through the door or down the chimney in the candle light . . . Santa Claus, the Christmas fairy is sure to come tonight . . . A poem I remember well from being born in Edinburgh and raised in the Borders.

My Mum used to sing this to us as well but sang Christmas Eve all dark and starry. The second verse was: please, I want a railway engine, and a sailing ship. Please I want a little wax dolly and a top and whip. If you find my little stocking just a bit too small you will find my little playbox right against the wall. From an Irish family in northern Engkand.

Marvellous ! Thank you !

I remember this book and I have a copy of it.

If you were there at Easter, we missed you by a couple of weeks, probably! My family went to MK in March 1976. I remember those slides they sold! Lord, I'm old

What fun! I need to get back to DL - Ashton has never been!

Music's too loud

j'adore les cabernets! How wonderful for you to have won 2 true bouteilles de Chateau Picard!

I live in the US but some of my family in Devon (though with connections to Cheshire and Scotland) have a second verse (first is the same) that goes like this: Please, I want a little wax dolly and a top and whip, Please I want a railway engine and a sailing ship. Through the door or down the chimney in the candlelight Santa Claus the Christmas fairy means to come tonight

We sing this in our family and call the grandparents to sing it down the phone every Christmas Eve. My family are from Wales, Devon and The Forest of Dean x

My Mam taught me this back in the mid 1940s in Birkenhead. She had learned it from her parents. I guess the origin to be in the mid Victorian era due to the references to a 'Wax Dolly' and a 'Sailing Ship'. We are going to use the poem as part of a Christmas presentation by the Scouts and Guides in Golborne, Greater Manchester. Let's hope the poem will live on.

fascinating - I've never seen anything like it here

Hello! I have noticed that you commented on a video 9 years ago, however, the video was made 5 years ago back in 2017. How did this happen? I really hope you see this. The link of the video you commented on is: ruclips.net/video/nX3lA0IOtGo/видео.html&ab_channel=BanksLee

Very cool video the place looks majestic. Thank you for sharing 😊

My mum used to sing this to us when we were children. We lived in Northampton and were born in the 1940s.

such a lucky fellow to have such a generous mother! You absolutely deserve a holiday, FINALLY.

Claire has her own channel. do subscribe. ruclips.net/channel/UCcWHzkTbAkbwFiXpfWxKy8w

West ham stadium long gone ..but OBS your Dr is sir tom of baker. ..as is mine ...if you love the Dr .u must visit this wonderful shop .

My mother was from Leicester and was born in 1905.. Her mother used to sing it to her when she was a child. She sang it to me and I sang it to my children as well. I know the music and lyrics for the introduction and chorus.

I know more of the 'Christmas Eve all dark and cloudy' song. I know the chorus and will sing it to you, if you like.

no, no, it's swish and FLICK

I had completely forgotten this! You can hear me much more than you all through this. Just remember, I was laughing WITH you. :-D

I know I've seen this before, but it's such fun to revisit! That was a fantastic day all the way around. Lee-chee! :-D

completely silly, but you can be just that! Tres amusant, mon ami.

you have one of my very favorite pictures of you--what a day that was!

Thanks for posting; just had my dad sing our version of this, which his mum used to sing him when he was little. She was from Derby. Love the extra verses that are appearing in the comments! Our tune has a few variations but definitely recognizable as the same song.

My family also sing a variation of this song. They're from Gateshead. :)

My maternal Grandmother (Nana) used to sing this with my sister and I in the late 60's, early 70's. Although she was from London with Wiltshire roots, my Grandad had County Durham roots (Chester-le-Street), and I suspect this is where it came from. My mother passed on a while back, and I never asked her if this was part of her childhood, although I very much suspect it was.

My mother Mabel used to sing this every Christmas Eve....with the addition of a verse two .."He is very old & bearded with a great big sack full of lovely playthings on his bended back..... I have never heard of the verse ....please I want a new wax dolly , please I want a whip, please I want a railway engine please I want a ship. The wax dolly dates the song way back in the mists of time ! Brilliant ! The tune is the same as the short recording.
