19. I Saw Three Ships
Another caroling favourite, 'I Saw Three Ships' is actually blighted by a little geographical niggle. The text of the carol refers to ships arriving in Bethlehem, but the nearest boat access would be about 20 miles away from Bethlehem itself. But, if you can get past that, it's still a Christmas cracker.
