My secret santa package arrived. Postmark is Quarryville PA and sender is in PA 17602 so whoever you are it has arrived here in Dublin. My daughters are acting as security to make sure that I don't open it before I am supposed to.

Time for another Christmas song . . . . .

this time we have Judy Garland in to sing for us,

cue Judy . . .

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

I just bought at at estate sale on Fri. and picked up on Sunday. The lady that owned it was involved in the women's rights movement. she has passed but the neighbor was telling me all about her and that she is so happy I bought it as I do abuse shelter quilts. she feels the woman is very happy about it. Have to make room in my tiny place for it but she is so sweet. they also had a beautiful coffin one but I wanted this more and the price was a steal.

Alrighty, my secret santa package went out in todays mail. Hope it doesn't go into shock. It's much colder and further North of me. A small hint...I haven't seen my secret pal on her since the sign up. She's missing all the fun.

lindyline 11-07-2011 03:13 PM

Very nice. Can't think how I could have missed.

wanda lou 11-07-2011 03:19 PM

I'm sitting right there with you, although I know my SS pressie has been sent. Cos Terri pm'd me that my SS included something to open early. To stop me opening the lot!! Very thoughtful!!
And I'm happy to sing Chrissy carols with you but not about snow. Very hot and humid here today.
Need to sing about Santa and his six white boomers
Snow white boomers
Racing Santa clause through the blazing sun........

An Aussie Chrissy carol!!

[h=2]O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee! !"

I am crying. I am on the naughty list for sure now. I was getting ready to start wrapping and sending off my SS gift and I can not find her address. I will look more closely tomorrow on my sewing/computer table and hopefully I will find it. So to my SSpal, I do have a gift for you and hope you will like what I am sending and I will get it to you as soon as I find your address.

OOPS~~~


in australia, christmas comes in the middle of a very hot summer
so when santa claus delivers his presents
he's not taken around by reindeer because
they can't stand the terrible heat

he's taken around by six big, white, old man kangaroos
called the six white boomers

early on one christmas day
a joey kangaroo
was far from home and lost
in a great, big zoo

mommy....where's my mommy?
they've taken her away

we'll help you find your mommy, son
hop up on the sleigh

so up inside the bag of toys
little joey hopped
but they hadn't gone far when santa stopped
unharnessed all the reindeer
and joey wondered why
then he heard a far off booming in the sky

(boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

[chorus]
six white boomers
snow white boomers
racing santa claus through the blazing sun
six white boomers
snow white boomers
on his australian run

pretty soon old santa began to feel the heat
took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
into one popped joey
feelin' quite okay
while those old man kangaroos kept pullin' on the sleigh
hey!

[chorus]

then joey said to santa, "santa, what about the toys?
aren't you giving some to these girls and boys?"

"well, they've all had their presents, sonny
we were here last night
this trip is an extra trip
joey's special flight

[chorus]

soon the sleigh was flashing past
right over marble bah
"slow down there!" cried santa
"it can't be far
hop up on my lap here, son
and have a look around"
"there, there she is!
that's mommy! bounding up and down!"

[chorus]

well, that's the bestest christmas treat
that joey ever had
curled up in mother's pouch feeling snug and glad
the last they saw was santa heading northwards from the sun
the only year the boomers worked a double run

CindyLuella 11-07-2011 06:25 PM

♫♪♫ "Six white boomers... snow white boomers.... " ♫♪♫ I knew that song once upon an Aussie...

CindyLuella 11-07-2011 06:28 PM

well... I happen to know that the HUGE box I shipped arrived safely at... Now where DID I ship that???

aitcht 11-07-2011 06:30 PM

I'm starting to get worried! I sent my parcel out a while ago and I haven't heard anything about whether or not it's arrived at it's destination. Please everyone, make sure you send a Private Message to Terri to let her know if you have recieved your parcel.

lindyline 11-07-2011 06:34 PM

Yep you are the bestest at these songs.

Are you googling them??

dconroy84 11-08-2011 05:13 AM

Hi,
I'm not sure if my Secret Santa is looking for suggestions or not. I keep see messages about some people not posting much and I'm one of them (still kind of new and feeling my way around). Secret Santa I don't know if you finished my gift and sent it or not but here are a few suggestions:

flavored tea
collect tea pots
pin cushion for my needles (I was sewing yesterday and set my needle down then almost couldn't find it)
applique books (old or new I'm learning to do this)
I use either Gutermann or Connecting Threads Essential thread (white or neutral colors are best)
Materials (Moda marbels and fossil batiks pastels)
Dark Chocolate
Hot Chocolate
applique pins
needles size 9 or 10
assorted small green patches for making a Christmas tree wall hanging

I hope this will help

Donna C.

I finally figured out how to save the thread so I don't have to hunt for it everyday. How's everyone doing? I'm slowly finding my way around.
