I won the UGLY XMAS SWEATER contest!!

Next to a circus there ain't nothing that packs up and tears out faster than the Christmas spirit.

BELIEVE

Believe in what your heart is saying,

Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste,
There so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need, if you just Believe.

If you just believe.

If you just believe.

If you just believe...just believe...just believe.

Away in a Manger

AWAY IN A MANGER


Away in a manger, no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head,
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the poor Babe awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes,
I love, Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.


Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and ever I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And lead us to heaven to live with Thee there.

Grown Up Christmas List

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end.

This is my grown up Christmas list

Christmas gift suggestions:

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S

C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S

When I was but a youngster,
Christmas meant one thing,
That I’d be getting lots of toys that day.
I learned a whole lot different,
When my mother sat me down,
And taught me to spell Christmas this way:

"C" is for the Christ child, born upon this day,
"H" for herald angels in the night,
"R" means our Redeemer,
"I" means Israel,
"S" is for the star that shone so bright,
"T" is for three Wise Men, they who traveled far,
"M" is for the manger where He lay,
"A"’s for all He stands for,
"S" means shepherds came.

And that’s why there’s a Christmas day.

Here comes Santa Claus!


Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

By: Gene Autry and Oakley Haldeman

O' Christmas Tree
For every year the Christmas tree,
Brings to us all both joy and glee.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN


Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman was a fairy tale they say,
He was made of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found,
For when they put it on his head
He began to dance around.
Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be;
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me.

Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
Look at Frosty go;
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump
Over the hills of snow.

Bah Humbug

Out upon merry Christmas! What's Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer...?

If I could work my will," said Scrooge indignantly, "every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' upon his lips should be boiled with his won pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!"




Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Little Christmas



Haul out the holly,
Put up the tree before
My spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things,
But deck the halls again now.


For we need a little Christmas,
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet,
Yes, we need a little Christmas,
Right this very minute,
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry.

Winter Wonderland


Sleigh bells ring
are you listening
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
and everyone telling you,
"Be of good cheer,"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoeing
and hearts will be glowing,
when loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

By: Eddie Pola, George Wyle - 1963

Christmas All the Time

If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time
I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of Christmas
Stays here in silence
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas
Fills your heart with love

The Gingerbread Man

Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man?

The Gingerbread man, the Gingerbread Man?
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man?
Who ran and ran and ran?

He said, "Catch me, if you can,
If you can, if you can."
He said, "Catch me, if you can,"
The ran and ran and ran.

I can run like the Gingerbread Man,
The Gingerbread Man, the Gingerbread Man
I can run like the Gingerbread Man,
Now catch me if you can.
