Advent Calendar Day 3

Happy December 3rd!

Today's Advent Calendar entry is a download of a very cool little Irish Christmas song called "Christmas in Carrick" recorded by The Browne Sisters & George Cavanaugh (AKA me and my kinfolk). The album is called Christmas Travelers, but it's long out of print.

You can download an mp3 of the song right here (it will download directly to your computer, so if it doesn't start playing, be sure to check your download folder).

Christmas in CarrickThe Clancy Brothers
On the road the frost is glistening.People stream from Midnight Mass.Friendly candles glow in windows.Strangers greet you as you pass.Home then to the laden table;Ham and goose and pints of beer,Whisky handed 'round in tumblers,Christmas comes but once a year!
Puddings made with eggs and treacle,Seeded raisins and ground suet,Sated breadcrumbs and mixed spices,Grated rind and plenty fruit,Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg,Porter, brandy, and old ale.Don't forget the wine and whisky!Christmas comes but once a year!
Women fussing in the kitchen,Lay the food on every plate.Men impatient in the hallway,Guinness and porter while we wait.Who cares if we work tomorrow?Now's the time to spread good cheer!Pass the punch around the table!Christmas comes but once a year!
