Merry Xmas Everybody

 
According to Yuletide tradition, every year, on the last day of term, there shall be a Freelancers' Choir singalong of a popular Christmas ‘hit’ on twitter, initiated by yours truly (not having anything better to do). It’s a tradition that started way back in 2011 with Do They Know It’s Christmas and which continues to this day. This is how it happened on 21st December 2012. It took about 15 minutes from midday (the previous year it took nearly 45 minutes – we’re getting better!)
