arols C Asparagus in Prosciutto
Festive Christmas Rolls
• 20 fresh asparagus spears, cleaned and trimmed • 20 thin slices of prosciutto (120 g.) • 5 tablespoons mayonnaise (75 ml) • 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 500 grams ground chicken • Handful of frozen cranberries • Bunch of fresh sage (chopped fine) • 3 medium size shallots (chopped fine) • 1/3 cup bread crumbs • 1 egg beaten lightly • I package puff pastry • I tbsp vegetable oil
In a shallow pan filled with salted water and over medium heat, cook asparagus until just tender. Take them off heat and drain water. Plunge in ice cold water to stop cooking process. Set them on paper towels to dry. Take each asparagus spear and wrap a slice of prosciutto around it. Set aside until needed. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise and garlic. Spoon into sauce dish for dipping, and place in the center of a large platter. Arrange asparagus around it. Serve.
Sausage with Apple and Sage • 2 pork sausages, cooked • 2 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled • 2 tablespoons butter • pinch sugar • 24 small sage leaves Slice the pork sausage into 1/4-inch (1/2-cm) slices on the bias. Cut the apple into 24 cubes. Heat the oil in a sauté pan and fry the sausage slices on both sides until golden brown, remove to a platter. Wash the pan before melting the butter in the pan for the apples. Add the sugar, and fry the apple cubes, tossing occasionally, until golden on all sides. Add a little more oil to the pan, if needed, and fry the sage until slightly crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Lay a sage leaf on each sausage slice. Top with a cube of sautéed apple. Pierce with a pick. Serve.
Mix ground chicken, frozen cranberries, sage, shallots, bread crumbs and ½ of the beaten egg. Form into golf ball-size balls and roll them into a log shape roughly the length of a small sausage roll. Brown the chicken lightly in a sauté pan in the vegetable oil turning so all sides are coloured. Roll the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut to the length and width that will wrap around the chicken pieces. Wrap the chicken pieces leaving the ends of the rolls open and seal the pastry with a light brush of the remaining beaten egg. Spread the chicken rolls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cook at 375º F until the pastry is browned. Serve hot or cold. Randy Hawes | MLA, Abbotsford/Mission

Away in a Manger
I Saw Three Ships
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay.
I saw three ships come sailing by on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. I saw three ships come sailing by on Christmas Day in the morning.
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky. And stay by the cradle till morning is nigh.
And what was in those ships all three on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day? And what was in those ships all three on Christmas Day in the morning?
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, Close by me forever, and love me, I pray! Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care And take us to heaven, to Live with Thee there.
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day. The virgin Mary and Christ were there on Christmas Day in the morning.

arols C Frosty the Snowman
Silver Bells
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose, And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in That old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around. Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be, And the children say He could laugh and play Just the same as you and me. Thumpety, thump thump, Thumpety, thump thump Look at Frosty go. Thumpety, thump thump, Thumpety, thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style, In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas, Children laughing, people passing, Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you hear:
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Winter Wonderland
We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening. A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walking in a Winter Wonderland.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year. Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer: Refrain We won’t go until we get some; We won’t go until we get some; We won’t go until we get some, so bring some out here: Refrain We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Chorus: Silver Bells, Silver Bells, It’s Christmas time in the city, Ting-A-Ling, Hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas Day. Strings of street lights, even stop lights Blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene And above all the bustle you hear. Chorus
Gone away is the bluebird. Here to stay is a new bird. He sings a love song, as we go along, Walking in a Winter Wonderland. In a meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown. He’ll say “Are you married?” We’ll say “No man!” But you can do the job when you’re in town. Later on, we’ll conspire, As we dream by the fire. To face unafraid, the plans that we made, Walking in a Winter Wonderland.

arols C The First Noel The first Noel the Angel did say, Was to certain poor Shepherds in fields as they lay, In fields as they lay a-keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was freezing so deep.
The Star went before them unto the North West, And seemed o’er the City of Bethlehem to rest, And there did remain by night and by day, Right over the place where Jesus Christ lay. Refrain
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.
Then entered they all, and those Wise Men three Most reverently worshiped with low bended knee; And offered to Christ in His Sacred Presence, Gifts of Gold, and of Myrrh, and of sweet Frankincense. Refrain
They looked up above, to the East where a Star That beyond them shone out in the Heavens from afar, And which to the earth did send down a great light, And so it continued by day and by night. Refrain And then by the light of that bright guiding Star, There came three Wise Men from a country afar; To seek for a King, it was their intent, And to follow the Star wherever it went. Refrain
And now Christians all, with most gladsome accord, Sing praises, sing praises to Jesus our Lord, That made both the Heaven, and the Earth out of nought, And with His Own Blood our Redemption hath wrought.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen
All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games
But do you recall... The most famous reindeer of all?
Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say, “Rudolph, with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And, if you ever saw it You would even say it glows
Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee, “Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history!”
Angels We Have Heard on High Angels we have heard on high, Singing sweetly through the night, And the mountains in reply Echoing their brave delight. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer? What great brightness did you see? What glad tiding did you hear? Refrain
12
Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the Lord, the new-born King. Refrain See him in a manger laid Whom the angels praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While we raise our hearts in love. Refrain

Do You Hear What I Hear
Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin Mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace
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 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 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 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.”
Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ the Saviour is born Christ the Saviour is born Silent night, holy night Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

arols C Here Comes Santa Claus
Let It Snow
Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane! Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the reins. Bells are ringing, children singing; All is merry and bright. Hang your stockings and say your prayers, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane! He’s got a bag that is filled with toys for the boys and girls again. Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, What a beautiful sight. Jump in bed, cover up your head, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
It doesn’t show signs of stopping, And I’ve bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! When we finally kiss goodnight, How I’ll hate going out in the storm! But if you’ll really hold me tight, All the way home I’ll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
