It Came Upon A Midnight Clear.
It came upon a midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,
From heaven’s all-gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains,
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessèd angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.
And ye, beneath life’s crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For lo!, the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Up on the House Top.
Up on the housetop
Reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down thru’ the chimney
With lots of toys,
All for the little ones,
Christmas joys.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the housetop,
Click, click, click,
Down thru’ the chimney
With good Saint Nick.
First comes the stocking
Of little Nell,
Oh, dear Santa
Fill it well;
Give her a dolly
That laughs and cries
One that will open
And shut her eyes.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the housetop,
Click, click, click,
Down thru’ the chimney
With good Saint Nick.
Next comes the stocking
Of little Will,
Oh just see
What a glorious fill
Here is a hammer
And lots of tacks,
Also a ball
And a whip that cracks.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!

Carol of the Bells.
Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling.
One seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air.
Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o’er hill and dale,
telling their tale.
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
On on they send,
on without end,
their joyful tone
to every home.
Ding ding… dong!

Morning all! Dreamer! It's good to see you back with your carols! And the picture is awesome! You've been way too silent this year!
Thanksgiving is over, leftovers are in the fridge. DH decided to go to Wallyworld for a new TV for the living room since the sale was so good. I didn't inform him it was a Black Friday sale he was getting into. Bad me! But he came home with the TV, so good for him! Now we've got a 32" flat screen in the living room to watch. Guess that's my Christmas present.
Today's hint: Nine days to go til opening! You'll be opening in a different time zone than me.

Dang! Cindy , yesterday you said it was 8 days till openong! Geez! Now I have to go count for myself.LOL! As far as the lemon merange pie....when I cut into it to serve it, the innards looked like cellulite before the first bite was taken. I will not use corn starch again in my pies! I drained it in the sink and then it was ok! Tasted really good though!
Come one Cindy, Lets go buzz Sulabug and Huntannette on our Super Deluxes! weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

OOOH! Sounds like fun! We can get away from our DH's for a little while & enjoy ourselves buzzing all the SS's! Of course, that's after we warm ourselves with some of the Schnapps down in the hole!

Once again dreamer you have outdone yourself. Lovely singing and an outstandingly beautiful pic.
Pat get those feet put up today and rest.
Pass the schnapps please.
Question about the "up on the housetop" song? Why does little Nell only get one toy while little Will gets four toys. Does that seem far??? Just saying

It seems as if Canadian/US Customs is holding packages for a bit?
Don't know.
All of the packages except for a couple are in and out of Canada.
Knitette...yours is on it's way, should be there hopefully this week. Packages going across the pond are going faster.
