Walking in a Winter Wonderland

[JenBKR]

Gee, where have I been ~

I've never heard "I want a "Hippopotomus for Christmas", nor, "Six White Bloomers" either~ Whaaaaa~ Oh, if not for Pet Talk~

Me neither! I better crawl out from under the rock I've been living under this year

I love Go Tell it on the Mountain, O Holy Night, also I Have a Present for Jesus - I can't find the words but you can listen to it here: http://music.download.com/kidsforchr...100477463.html

It's really cute - the kids at church sing it.

I also love Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck version of the 12 Days of Christmas

[Dorothy39]

Thank-You for that song, JenBKR~(clicks onto link)

Children often Bring "Christmas " back to us ~ all over again~

And, I do love~ "Oh Holy Night"~ My sister sang it in "The High School Choir, ~ She replayed that record, over and over ( contributing the Alto version ) and my "Dad" replied with~ "Turn the Page"~ it't a 60's Memory


It is still one of my favorite Christmas Hymns!!!! So peaceful!!!!
( The Weary World Rejoices~)

I've got to listen to Jeff Foxworthy's Version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas"( Thank-you for the nudge, says Dorothy39)

Great Reply, by the way~

Hmmm... I don't really know many.

Jingle bells... Jingle bells...

I really don't think I could pick a favorite Christmas song, I love so many.

I just laugh my butt off every time I hear the song; I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. Oh it's so funny!!

My mother-in-law loves that song. She is a first grade teacher and she teaches that song to her class every year. Very few of the kids, if any, ever know it before she teaches it to them.

My sister-in-law goes to a small private college in Tennessee, her major is sign language. Last year her school had a Christmas show where the students preformed acts and skits and things like that. She signed that song and it was a big hit, they asked her to do it again this year.

Mine is Rise Up Shepherd and Follow:

There's a star in the East on Christmas morn,
Rise up Shepherd and follow.
It will lead to the place where the Savior's born.
Rise up shepherd and follow.
Follow.
Follow.
Rise up shepherd and follow.
Follow the star to Bethlehem.
Rise up shepherd and follow!

That's all I remember. You don't hear it any more.

( I listened to The Ames Brothers Version, in the early 60's)I also liked "The Ames Brothers" Version of "Go Tell it on the Mountain"

YESSSSSS! LOL! Didn't think anyone else knew who the Ames Bros. were! One of my favorites is Ed Ames's Christmas album. Especially "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" - (wonderful with his mellow baritone voice!) and a little one about a donkey- I don't even know it's name. I sing it to myself every single year. And believe it or not, I get teary up every time! I'm so happy for the little donkey!

"Long ago in another day,
A donkey cried in his donkey way
"I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful, what good to anyone am I?
'Other animals are big and strong, or rare, or filled with an animal song....
But I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful, what good to anyone am I?"

Heaven cried, "Donkey, you can carry,
Oh will you carry Mary, with angels for your guide?"

On Christmas morn in the stable hay,
a donkey smiled in his donkey way.
"I'm so beautiful, I'm so beautiful, as beautiful as anyone am I!
As beautiful as anyone am I!"

[luvofallhorses]

my all time favorite is "Do you hear what I hear?"

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 shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall 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

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light

My favorite has always been "O Holy Night"!!!!!

In recent years I have also come to love "Bethlehem Morning" sung by Sandi Patti! I had the privilege to be able to sing it in church a few years ago!


"Bethlehem Morning"

Lift your heads, no need to mourn, His hand is stretched out still.
For unto us a child is born His promise to fulfill.
Jerusalem He cried for you.
He did not come to you in vain.
His loving arms are open wide for you.
And He will come He will come again.

Bethlehem morning
Is more than just a memory
For the child that was born there.
Has come to set us free.
Bethlehem sunrise
I can see Him in your eyes.
For the child that was born there His spirit never dies.

His star will never, will never grow dim.
And it's a brand new dawn, a new Jerusalem
And we and we will reign we will reign with him.

Bethlehem morning.
Is more than just a memory.
For the child that was born there
Has come to set us free.
Bethlehem sunrise.
I can see Him in your eyes.
For the child that was born there
He's the King of Kings
And the Lord of Lords
And He will come again.

Mine is Grown Up Christmas List. My favorite version is Vanessa Williams' version. What's yours?

My 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 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

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

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

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth
(there'd be)

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, oh
This is my grown up christmas list

This is my grown up christmas list
