about

In memory of Bryan Cruickshank, who would have been 44 on 8th December 2023.

Scunner's annual festive song this year explores Christmas traditions around the globe with their trademark jaunty charm.

Iceland's Yule lads
Sweden's giant straw goat
Catalonia's Caganer
Scotland's burning of a Rowan tree twig
Czechia's Golden Pig

lyrics

Let's raise a glass this Christmas Day,
to the ones here & far away.
Relaxing into fun,
brandy soak the season, on and on.

Let's have a dance & a beaujolais
Krampus tales get underway.
The Oak Moon tradition.
Mistletoe with Golden sickle won.

Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do. (do do do do do)
Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do.

A carp kept in a bathtub,
released in a nearby pond.
The carol singing and bells just ringing along,
the matching outfits and family dinners gone wrong

Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do. (do do do do do)
Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do.

The towns folk live on candy,
in the magic realist tale
Seeing is believing when the reindeer breaks into song.
The golden pig is seen trot, trot, trottin' along

Let's raise a glass this Christmas Day,
to the ones here & far away.
relaxing into fun,
brandy soak the season, on and on.

Let's have a dance & a beaujolais.
Krampus tales get underway.
The Oak tree tradition.
Mistletoe with Golden sickle won.


Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do. (do do do do do)
Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do.

Fortunes told with shoes thrown,
the snoring and laughter align.
A candle in a nutshell is launched & it sails on.
As the golden pig is seen trot, trot, trottin' along.

Here we burn a twig of the Rowan tree.
Sweden, they've a huge straw goat.
And then there's Iceland with the the 13 Yule lads.
Catalonia, Caganer with his...ooh

Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do. (do do do do do)
Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do.

Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do. (do do do do do)
Mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine, mull the wine do.
