Deck the halls with Quorn fake turkey! Fa la la la la, la la la la (fa la la la la, la la la la) EAT THE PIZZA EAT THE PIZZA! Fa la la la la, la la la la (fa la la la la, la la la la) Fill the mead cup, drain the barrel! Fa la la la la, la la la la (fa la la la la, la la la la) Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Fa la la la la, la la la la Eat mince pies that lie before us Fa la la la la, la la la la (fa la la la la, la la la la) Steal the rest d'you think mum saw us? (Fa la la la la, la la la, fa la la la la, la la la) Follow me in merry measure Fa la la la la, la la la la, fa la la la la, la la la la While I tell of Yuletide treasure (Fa la la la la, la la la la) Fast away, the old year passes Fa la la la la, la la la la Hail the new, ye lads and lasses (Fa la la, la la la, la la la, la la la, fa la la, la la la, la la la la) Sing we joyous all together, oh Heedless of the wind and weather Fa la la la la, la la la la (hey)

In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago. Our God, heaven cannot hold him, Nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away When he comes to reign; In the bleak midwinter A stable place sufficed The Lord God incarnate, Jesus Christ. Angels and archangels May have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air; But his mother only, In her maiden bliss, Worshipped the Beloved With a kiss. What can I give him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb, If I were a wise man I would do my part, Yet what I can I give Him — Give my heart.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe She'd been drinking too much eggnog And we begged her not to go But she forgot her medication And she staggered out the door into the snow When we found her Christmas morning At the scene of the attack She had hoof-prints on her forehead And incriminating Claus marks on her back Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe Now we're all so proud of grandpa He's been taking this so well See him in there watching football Drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel It's not Christmas without Grandma All the family's dressed in black And we just can't help but wonder Should we open up her gifts Or send them back! Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe Now the Quorn is on the table And the pudding made of fig And the blue and silver candles That would just have matched the hair on grandma's wig I've warned all my friends and neighbours Better watch out for yourselves They should never give a license To a man who drives a sleigh And plays with elves Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe

Oh holy night The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error, pining 'Til He appeared and the soul felt it's worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn' Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn' Fall on your knees, oh, hear, hear the Angels' voices Oh, night divine, yeah, oh, night when Christ was born Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine Oh yes, said rise (oh night divine) It is the night of the Lord Saviour's birth Fall, on your knees, just listen here You see its Christ that’s come, redeemer has arrived, the soul revived, your heart is clear Fall on your knees, your graceless turmoil is forgiven Christ incarnate eternal display, a glorious end to all our dismay Let’s fall on our knees

about

This is a Christmas present to you, from the Lowry Family.

Now, thanks to covid, I can't put on a Christmas gig, and I absolutely love terrible Christmas cover albums. So I thought, why not? Along the way the rest of the family got roped in. We had some fun!

Please feel free to download it for free and play it to annoy your grandma down the phone.

If you are feeling generous, please buy it. Every single penny donated will go to Names Not Numbers charity, supporting children in the developing world as they struggle through the same awfulness that has been 2020 but without the same societal support we take for granted.

Love you all! Here's to a better 2021!
