Ooh, envy! (Though I did go to a two-year-old's birthday party today (smallclanger's cousin), which was fun in its own way.) I notice the one remaining "come and sing" event on that page has already sold out.
While I do rather like the second (Normandy) tune to "Away in a Manger" in the green book, to my mind David Willcocks is one of the few people to have managed to un-twee the first tune (though it has to be done fairly slowly for the proper effect).
No traditional carols for us yet as we are currently attempting to learn the whole of Britten's Ceremony of Carols in the space of 7 weeks. Which I'd probably recommend to you if you weren't already singing on Wednesdays.
