Went to a carol concert last night and was surprised to see that a carol that I have been singing as far back as I can remember has changed it's title:

God Rest You Merry People All!

Is this another case of PC Gone Mad!

Yes.

We will also be having

We three Monarchs of orient are
Little Drummer child
Good Monarch Wenceslas
Good people of indeterminate religion rejoice!
Joy to the Universe
One in Royal Davina's city
While sheep-people watched their flocks

And -

I'm dreaming of a coloured Christmas!

Cheers

Dont forget Vertically Challenged Donkey

Why not "gentlepersons"?

It doesn't scan. Try and sing it (out loud if you dare!).

"God rest you, merry gentleper... oh @rse, run out of music"

Vash the Stampede

I'd consider that a bonus!

I will give you that - it's my second least favourite carol ever.

The worst one being In The Deep Midwinter. Maybe that's why I'm moving to Oz - they don't have a deep midwinter!
