The Christmas Song
(Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) Mel Torme, 1946
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa’s on his way. He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother’s child is going to spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I’m offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas and warmest wishes for a wonderful new year filled with many blessings.

Go Tell It On the Mountain While shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night, Behold throughout the heavens, There shone a holy light: Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born. The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Saviour’s birth: Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born. Down in a lowly manger Our humble Christ was born And God send us salvation That blessed Christmas morn:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born. When I am a seeker, I seek both night and day; I seek the Lord to help me, And He shows me the way: Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born. He made me a watchman Upon the city wall, And if I am a Christian, I am the least of all. Go, Tell It On The Mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, Tell It On The Mountain That Jesus Christ is born.

Winter Wonderland Dick Smith, Felix Bernard, 1934
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. We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman, Until the other kids knock him down. When it snows, ain’t it thrilling; Though your nose gets a chilling? We’ll frolic and play the Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland. Walking in a winter wonderland, Walking in a winter wonderland.

Birthday of a King In the little village of Bethlehem There lay a child one day; And the sky was bright With a holy light O’er the place where Jesus lay. Alleluia! O, how the angels sang! Alleluia! How it rang! And the sky was bright With a holy light ‘Twas the birthday of a King. Humble birthplace, but O, How much God gave to us that day! From the manger bed what a path has led What a perfect, holy way. Alleluia! O, how the angels sang! Alleluia! How it rang! And the sky was bright With a Holy light ‘Twas the birthday of a King.
From our HOME to YOURS ... We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Silver Bells City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style; In the air there is a feeling, of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing Meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells! It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring- 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 this bustle You’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells! It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, Soon it will be Christmas day!
Best wishes to you, your family, and friends during this very special season. Steve Hayworth Agency Manager

Holly Jolly Christmas Johnny Marks, 1962
Have a holly, jolly Christmas; It’s the best time of the year. I don’t know if there’ll be snow, But have a cup of cheer. Have a holly, jolly Christmas; And when you walk down the street Say Hello to friends you know And everyone you meet. Oh, ho, the mistletoe, Hung where you can see. Somebody waits for you; Kiss her once for me. Have a holly jolly Christmas, And in case you didn’t hear, Oh, by golly, have a holly, Jolly Christmas this year!
May all the things that inspire happiness be with you at Christmastime and all through the year.

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a 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 on the hay. 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 my cradle, till morning is nigh. 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.
We would like to wish everyone a

Silent Night Joseph Mohr, (1792-1848), 1818
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. Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing Alleluia. Christ the Savior is born. Christ the Savior 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.

Joy to the World! Isaac Watts, (1674-1748)
Joy to the world! The Lord has come: Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, And heaven and heaven, and nature sing. Joy to the world! The Savior reigns: Let men their songs employ. While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love And wonders, wonders of His love.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas 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.
Merry Christmas from all of us and our furry friends!
