I admit, this song confused the heck out of me when I was 5 years old. What does Christmas have to do with a goose getting fat? Why am I supposed to put a penny in the old man’s hat? What on earth is a hay penny? … Of course, all these questions were answered for me long ago. Geese were once a traditional dinner. The old man is a beggar. The hay penny is a half pence … and if you don’t have one, then YOU need a blessing.



Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
