Can I have your attention please? It has come to the attention of the List Elves that some of you are celebrating Christmas today. In honour of this tradition the List Elves have decided to join the fun by composing a song for you.

Muttering is heard from the back of the room.
"OMG, we have to sing?"
"She's not really going to make us, is she?"
"Someone pass the butterbeer."
"This is going to be fiasco!"
"You watch, they'll all starting running when we sing."

"Pipe down back there and let's entertain the list members!"
Okay folks, here goes. Feel free to join in the singing.

"I know, let's break out the food and drink."

Cookies and milk are on the side table, with stronger drink provided for those who prefer (or who feel themselves in need after that ordeal!). Pull up a comfy chair in front of the fire and join in celebrating this festive time of year.
