Carols are unique in how we each relate to them. <br /><br />I rememver when THE LITTLE DRUMMER Boy became a popular song. I never like it because the "drumming" reminded me of the state funeral of JFK which occured in the same time frame. To this day I am not fond of this song.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-66036324888825326092009-12-19T08:40:27.005-05:002009-12-19T08:40:27.005-05:00Enjoy your three ships Willow.

I'm thinking now of the significances of the "three ships" in my world/consciousness.<br /><br />I wish I had mentioned it sooner, but I've always named among my favourite records (and not just Christmas) Bruce Cockburn's "Christmas." If you can find it I am certain it will become a Christmas tradition in your home. Do order a copy, you'll be glad. <br /><br />It's his "Three Ships" I'm hearing in my head now. <br /><br />And I love the idea of your three ships coming to shore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-6976366699835337242009-12-18T21:24:37.776-05:002009-12-18T21:24:37.776-05:00Lovely.Lovely.Yolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068063513978782703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-39157917873871416622009-12-18T21:20:42.725-05:002009-12-18T21:20:42.725-05:00The ships sailed in to Bethlehem from Heaven, on t...The ships sailed in to Bethlehem from Heaven, on that magical morn!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985979258848310351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-19318596527346715732009-12-18T20:43:20.009-05:002009-12-18T20:43:20.009-05:00It could be three intergalactic vessels that popul...It could be three intergalactic vessels that populated the planet!?<br /><br />The three ships bringing good luck didn't work out too well for the native American tribes :)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158978490041796686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-45867135365661835072009-12-18T20:38:18.455-05:002009-12-18T20:38:18.455-05:00Now I'll be singing this song for days!
