Christmas is just around the corner folks. You don't want to get caught off guard. You may revote. I can't wait to find out which options I did not mention.

OH yea. We're doing two big Christmas concerts with Claire Lynch and have been working on it since mid-summer. I now know tunes/songs I'd never known before. We're doing another marathon rehearsal this weekend. In fact, they should be here any minute. Gotta get. :boggle:

Ha!
Your two suggestions could have fit well into these two choices:
1. No, because........
2. Yes, I started a while back.
One down, next.

Will you? This choice fits well in "Yes, Tomorrow. That's the ticket."

Perhaps it will gratify you to know that that's how I voted.

I object to the title of your poll. They're not my Christmas carols. If they were, I'd be getting royalties from all you people playing them, and that definitely ain't happenin'.

Emm: It does not gratify me that you are waiting two weeks to practice Christmas Carols. At that point, it's no longer practicing, it's performing. You are running out of time.

jsluder: Object all you want but I sure bet you're not practicing MY repertoire of Christmas Carols. Christmas is about GIVING rather than RECEIVING. Jesus is all the royal(ties) you need to be thinking about. Well, His Mom too.

Denny: The day I make a poll with emoticons as options, well we'll see.

The Weekenders: You may believe that TV and radio may have ruined Christmas Carols. I think these two have done a lot to ruin live music. As live musicians, we have a responsibility to bring the freshness and beauty of live music in general back to people. I think Christmas Carols may be the last stand of songs that are still sung and performed live by the general public.

Anyone else?

weeellllll

assuming you mean on the whistle seeing as thats what this is all about...then no no no, actually I dont usually play carols on the whistle, however in my band at school we started a few tunes a couple weeks ago to get ready for our concert in 2 weeks. On my own on my other instruments, usually just for fun very close to christmas as well, my family doesn't let any songs be sung/heard/played until december
