Yeah I thought it’d be about even with angels.
I remember as a kid my (very Catholic) parents* being adamant that it should be a star to represent the star guiding the Wise Men to Bethlehem. Which I never really quite understood because if you’re going to believe in the story at all then an angel makes as much sense as they were present too.
Allegedly. Though at least stars do actually exist
* yeah, the same parents who wouldn’t allow ’Merry Christmas’ because of the drunk connotations.

I genuinely thought stars and angels weren't used any more because I see so many people with themed tree's. Like candy cane tree and what not.

Christmas music today. It routinely comes top of polls of best Christmas songs, but do you agree?

Dammit, I nearly went 30!
RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Homer J. Fong - 16-12-2021
I like Fairytale of New York but voted No because I don't think there is any one greatest Christmas song; you could argue it's one of the best "contemporary" ones but how do you compare it to something like O Holy Night? Apples and oranges. Totally depends on mood, setting and other variables.
Also the original is indirectly responsible for the Ronan Keating version, which is arguably the worst thing to ever come out of Ireland.

Same here HJF , I like it too but voted no also .
O Holy Night is my favorite "religious" Christmas song .

RE: Fogies sheepish Advent Calendar 2021 - Spears - 16-12-2021
I voted Yes, but I don't think it is the best Christmas song.
Just that it is one of the best Christmas songs, because I do really like it.
But then again I like a lot of crimbo songs. It's my favourite time of the year and I love when the songs start playing on the radio, or in the shops
