in xmas in the park this year??? loads of other music but very very little in way of xmas songs....that is so sucky isnt the whole point of xmas in the park to do xmas songs and carols????
did i miss the point of the whole thing or has it become a showcase of other music??? I found it very strange indeeed!!! |

We didn't catch any of it this year but I'm sure it was similar the last year or two..i think you're right, it's more a showcase for other music. Pftt. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yeah we don't bother with it either...we prefer to rock on up to the carols by candlelight and such things... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I agree, I went last year and Mum and I left half way through due to the lack of xmas theme! Why call it Christmas in the park...may as well call it 'concert in the park' as it has nothing to do with xmas IMO. And Santa arrived to some other strange music (not a xmas carol). Bah humbug  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yeah we were commenting on the lack of carols and Christmas theming too and BIL said exactly the same as you BS, that its become a showcase of new music.
We don't bother going to any of the park things now either. It'd be too much of a hassle with our two little tornadoes wanting to wander round all the time. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I watched a bit and saw Lissel! she used to be on the boards for a while. so pretended that I must be important to know someone on stage - even if it was just through a couple of online conversations.
but yeah, got bored with the singing, and who was that woman in the green singlet with the scary as smile??? |

yes we did "webt" but they didnt play as many carols as they used to , i think BS posted this before it was on tv, so im assuming she was actually there too |

DH's was very dissapointed there were no carols played on it. I remember when it was mostly carols and the odd non xmas song. Is there somewhere we can complain about the lask of carols?? Coz I would be complaining. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
