We all know and love the Christmas hits of Wham, Slade, Wizard and Mariah regardless of age.
So come along sing your heart out with everyone else to your favourite Christmas song.
We may not be the best at singing 'Do they know its Christmas' but together we will sound amazing!
If you'd like to lead a song for us to sing along, let us know, "it's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid'. See its easy!

Sometimes Christmas can be a little to much for people and the message is lost as people get wrapped up in the celebration of the season or feel its all too commercial.
This year we are holding an evening of quieter enjoyment and reflection for those who enjoy this time of year but with a little less tinsel.
We will be playing a range of traditional Christmas Carols from some of the countries best known choirs over our sound system throughout the evening.
Drop in anytime to listen to the beautiful voices of your favourite meaningful carols.
Light a candle or leave a prayer for a much missed loved one.
As we all know Christmas can be lonely for some at this time of year, but a warm welcome always awaits you at West Monkton Church.
Our traditional Carol Service welcomes everyone from across the parish to come together for our much loved service as Christmas Day approaches.
The church will be lit by candles as we sing the carols we love to hear this time of year creating a special Christmas atmosphere of togetherness.
Sunday 21st Dec 6pm
The Story of Christmas told on Christmas Eve with the help of children dressed as the lead characters. Sometimes we have a few more Mary's and four or five Kings than the bible depicts, but hey the more the merrier. Mixed with carols children love, it really is the perfect days end to Christmas Eve. They will be worn out earlier and off to bed sooner before they hear the sound of those reindeer bells.
