And who can ever forget this old Classic:D

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten,

and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white................

Or how about abit of Slade:guitarist

are you hanging up your stocking on your wall

it's the time that every santa has a ball

does he ride a red nosed reindeer

does he turn up on his sleigh

do the farries keep him sober for a day

so here it is merry christmas

everybodies having fun

look to the future now

it's only just begun

are you waiting for your family to arrive

are you sure you've got the room to spare inside

does your granny always tell you

that the old songs are the best

and shes up and rock 'n' rolling with rest

so here it is merry christmas

everybodies having fun

look to the future now

it's only just begun

what will your daddy do when he sees your moma kissing santa, ahaa

are you hanging up your stocking on your wall

are you hoping that the snow will start to fall

do you ride on down the hillside

in a boggy you have made

when you land upon your head

then you will say

so here it is merry christmas

everybodies having fun

look to the future now

it's only just begun.............

And how about this Christmas Carol that takes me back to my childhood.

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,

the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,

but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,

And stay by my side until morning is nigh.:-4

Merry Christmas Carrolly!:-4

Carolly · Post by **Carolly** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:14 am

One day, one friend asked another,

'How is it that you are always so happy?

You have so much energy,

and you never seem to get down.'

With her eyes smiling, she said,

'I know the Secret!'

'What secret is that?'

To which she replied,

'I'll tell you all about it,

but you have to promise to

share the Secret with others.'

'The Secret is this:

I have learned there is little I can do

in my life that will make me truly happy.

I must depend on God to make

me happy and to meet my needs.

When a need arises in my life,

I have to trust God to supply

according to HIS riches.

I have learned most of the time

I don't need half of what I think I do.

He has never let me down.

Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy.'

The questioner's first thought was,

'That's too simple!'

But upon reflecting over her own life

she recalled how she thought a bigger house

would make her happy, but it didn't!

She thought a better paying job

would make her happy, but it hadn't.

When did she realize her greatest happiness?

Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,

playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,

a simple gift from God.

Now you know it too......

We can't depend on people to make us happy.

Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that........

Here we are as in olden days,

Happy golden days of yore.

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night

She didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peep

She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep

Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had only seen

Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Ok I put this up before but for those that didnt see it;)

A special xmas message to all me mates

As I awake this morning

When all things sweet are born

A robin perched upon my sill

To signal coming morn

He was fragile sweet and young

So softly did he sing

And thoughts of happiness and joy

Into my heart did ring

I smiled softly at his song

And paused beside my bed

Then gently closed the window

And crushed his bleedin head .......and oh boy did I clean that up:D:p:-4

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer!

Grandma got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much eggnog,

And we'd begged her not to go.

But she'd left her medication,

So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin',

At the scene of the attack,

There were hoof prints on her forehead,

And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

R: Grandma got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.

(On her way home)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

(Say there's no Santa)

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

(Lord, we believe)

Now we're all so proud of Grandma,

He's been takin' this so well.

See him in there watchin' football,

Drinkin beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.

All the family's dressed in black.

And we just can't help but wonder:

Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

R: Grandma got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.

(Midnight before Christmas)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

(Say there's no Santa)

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

(Lord, we believe)

Now the goose is on the table

And the pudding made of fig.

And a blue and silver candle

That would have just matched the hair in grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbors.

"Better watch out for yourselves.

They should never give a license,

To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves."

R: Grandma got runned over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.

(Minding her own business)

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

(What do you mean there's no Santa?)

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

(Lord, we believe)

Oh

As for me and Grandpa, we believe.

(We believe in Santa Claus.)

Every body stops

and stares at me

These two teeth are

gone as you can see

I don't know just who

to blame for this catastrophe!

But my one wish on Christmas Eve

is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas

is my two front teeth,

my two front teeth,

see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only

have my two front teeth,

then I could be with you

"Merry Christmas."

It seems so long since I could say,

"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,

if I could only whistle (thhhh)

All I want for Christmas

is my two front teeth,

my two front teeth,

see my two front teeth.

Gee, if I could only

have my two front teeth,

then I could wish you

"Merry Christmas!"

For Carolly

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Eddie Pola, George Wyle 1963

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.

There'll be parties for hosting,

marshmallows for toasting and

caroling out in the snow.

there'll be scary ghost stories and

tales of the glories of Christmases

long, long ago.

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.

Nobody likes to think there alone at Christmas so this is for you;)

When youre down and troubled

And you need a helping hand

And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

And you know whereever I am

Ill come running, oh yeah baby

To see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

All you have to do is call

And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Youve got a friend.

If the sky above you

Should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

And soon I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know where ever I am

Ill come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you got to do is call

And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?

People can be so cold.

Theyll hurt you and desert you.

Well theyll take your soul if you let them.

Oh yeah, but dont you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am

Ill come running to see you again.

Oh babe, dont you know that,

Winter spring summer or fall,

Hey now, all youve got to do is call.

Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.

Youve got a friend.

Youve got a friend.

Aint it good to know youve got a friend.

What do we love about Christmas;

Does our delight reside in things?

Or are the feelings in our hearts

The real gift that Christmas brings.

It's seeing those we love,

And sending Christmas cards, too,

Appreciating people who bring us joy

Special people just like you.

Something About Christmas

There is something about Christmas,

In Santa Claus and twinkling trees,

In the joy and laughter of every child,

People kneeling in prayer on arthritic knees.

There is something about Christmas,

Though many wishes and dreams may fail.

It is something we have learned to accept

Through each Yuletide trail.

There is something about Christmas,

Something that overwhelms the heart,

And it is displayed in every household

Of thoughtful and gentle people miles apart.

There is something about Christmas,

A magnificent day for old and young,

For it seems that people are more pleasant

When the traditional carols are sung.

There is something about Christmas,

A day of grace and visions of peace

And nothing on earth can destroy it.

Joy and peace on earth will never cease.

There is something about Christmas

When church bells ring and candles glow,

Signaling that Christ was born in a manger

In the holy city of Bethlehem - years ago.

I heard the bells on Christmas day

Their old familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet the words repeat

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And thought how, as the day had come,

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along the unbroken song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Till ringing, singing on its way

The world revolved from night to day,

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head

“There is no peace on earth, I said,

“For hate is strong and mocks the song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

With peace on earth, good will to men.

Said the night wind to the little lamb,

"Do you see what I see?

Way up in the sky, little lamb,

Do you see what I see?

A star, a star, dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite,

With a tail as big as a kite."

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,

"Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,

Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song high above the trees

With a voice as big as the the sea,

With a voice as big as the the sea."

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,

"Do you know what I know?

In your palace warm, mighty king,

Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--

Let us bring him silver and gold,

Let us bring him silver and gold."

Said the king to the people everywhere,

"Listen to what I say!

Pray for peace, people, everywhere,

Listen to what I say!

The Child, the Child sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light,

He will bring us goodness and light."
