Nanny and her friends have not been asleep during the festive season. One of her friends, the Very Reverend John Lewis Dean of Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff, has decided that the carol "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is offensive to women.
As such, he has decreed that the words be changed to the rather catchy "God Rest Ye Merry People" instead.
He decreed that this version be sung on Christmas day.
Those of you who have time to spare, between the mince pies and cold turkey, may like to submit your own versions of Christmas carols that would be suitable for singing to Nanny.
There is no prize, other than the kudos of seeing your name and carol appear on this site.
