HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus lane Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer Pullin’ on the reins Bells are ringin’, children singin’ All is merry and bright Hang your stockings and say your prayers ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight! Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus lane He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys For boys and girls again Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, Oh what a beautiful sight So jump in bed and cover your head ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight! Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane He doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor He loves you just the same Santa Claus knows we’re all Gods children That makes everything right So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight! Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus lane He’ll come around when the chimes ring out That it’s Christmas morn again Peace on earth will come to all If we just follow the light So lets give thanks to the lord above That Santa Claus comes tonight!
WINTER WONDERLAND Sleigh bells ring are you listening
in the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight we’re happy tonight walking in a winter wonderland 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 the 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’ve made walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he’s a circus clown
Thank you to those who have sponsored a Christmas hamper and the many who have held food drives for the community food bank.
