Theme  -  Christmas, sailing ships, Mary, Jesus, Bethlehem

Content  -  The popular Christmas carol that talks about ships sailing into Bethlehem (although that’s poetic licence, as the nearest body of water to Bethlehem is the Dead Sea, 20 miles away!)   'All the bells in heaven shall ring, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.'  Set to a nicely toe-tapping folk music arrangement.

Lyrics sample

I saw three ships come sailing in

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

I saw three ships come sailing in

On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three?

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day…

Our Saviour Christ and His Lady

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day…
