078 Miistakes and Other Disasters

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Music this week by Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings “God Rest Ye Merry Gents”
