here ya go! :guitarist :wah:



Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw him,

you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph

join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say:

"Rudolph with your nose so bright,

won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,

you'll go down in history!

Okay being the huge Elvis fan that i am, i have always loved this one! :sneaky: :yh_rotfl



Santa Claus is Back in Town

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling on the ground

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling down

Well you be a real good little girl

Santa Claus is back in town

Got no sleigh with reindeer

No sack on my back

You're gonna see me comin' in a big black caddilac

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling on the ground

Well you be a real good little baby

Santa Claus is back in town

Hang up your pretty stockings

And turn off the light

Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby

And the snow is falling on the ground

Well you be a real good little baby

Santa Claus is back in town

Hey dear. what do you do for Turkey Day??

Christmas Joys



Evergreen boughs that fill our homes

With fragrant Christmas scents,

Hearts filled with the loving glow

That Christmas represents;



Christmas cookies, turkeys stuffed,

Festive holly berry,

Little faces bright with joy,

Loved ones being merry;



Parties, songs, beribboned gifts,

Silver bells that tinkle,

Christmas trees and ornaments,

Colorful lights that twinkle;



Relatives waiting with open arms

To smile and hug and kiss us;

These are some of the special joys

That come along with Christmas.



By Joanna Fuchs

Recipe for Christmas All Year Long



Take a heap of child-like wonder

That opens up our eyes

To the unexpected gifts in life—

Each day a sweet surprise.



Mix in fond appreciation

For the people whom we know;

Like festive Christmas candles,

Each one has a special glow.



Add some giggles and some laughter,

A dash of Christmas food,

(Amazing how a piece of pie

Improves our attitude!)



Stir it all with human kindness;

Wrap it up in love and peace,

Decorate with optimism, and

Our joy will never cease.



If we use this healthy recipe,

We know we will remember

To be in the Christmas spirit,

Even when it's not December.



By Joanna Fuchs







Christmas Magic



Are we too grownup to feel a thrill

As we light the Christmas tree?

Are we immune to cookies,

Christmas cards and Christmas glee?



Are we too adult to "Ooh" and "Aah"

At the Christmas candle's glow?

Are we blasé about our gifts;

Do we shun the mistletoe?



Are we too mature for carols,

For merry or for jolly?

Do the decorations leave us cold,

The ornaments and holly?



Fat chance! We'll never grow too old

To love the Christmas magic.

A year without a Christmas

Would be boring, even tragic.



So bring it on! The candy canes,

The feasting and good cheer;

O Christmas, lovely Christmas,

You're the highlight of the year!



By Joanna Fuchs
