I saw Mommy kissing Santa ClausUnderneath the mistletoe last night.She didn’t see me creep down the stairs to have a peep;She thought that I was tuckedup in my bedroom fast asleep.Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white; Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

mushrooms with damp paper towel. Carefully break off stems. Chop stems extremely fi ne, discarding tough end of stems.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped mushroom stems to the skillet. Fry until any moisture has disappeared, taking care not to burn the garlic. Set aside to cool.

3. When garlic and mushroom mixture is no longer hot, stir in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Mixture should be very thick. Using a little spoon, fi ll each mushroom cap with a generous amount of stuffi ng. Arrange the mushroom caps on prepared cookie sheet.

Silent Night

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,Let nothing you dismay;Remember Christ, our Saviour,Was born on Christmas day,To save us all from Satan’s PowerWhen we were gone astray.O tidings of comfort and joyComfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry,This blessed Babe was born,And laid within a manager,Upon this blessed morn;That which His Mother Mary,Did nothing take in scorn.O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our Heavenly Father,A blessed Angel came;

And unto certain ShepardsBrought tidings of the same:How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by Name.O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy.

“Fear not.” Then said the Angel“let nothing you affright,This day is born a SaviourOf pure Virgin bright.To free all those who trust in HimFrom Satan’s power and might.”O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy.

And when they came to BethlehemWhere our dear Saviour lay,They found Him in a manager,Where oxen feed on hay;His Mother Mary kneeling down,Unto the Lord did pray.O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy.

Now to the Lord sing praises,All you within this place,And with true love andbrotherhoodEach other now embrace;This holy tide of ChristmasAll other doth deface.O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Every body stops and stares at meThese two teeth are gone as you can seeI don’t know just who to blame for this catastrophe!

But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my twofront teeth, see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could with you “Merry Christmas.”It seems so long since I could say, “Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!”

Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle (thhhh)

You know Dasher and DancerAnd Prancer and Vixen,Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen.But do you recallThe most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)And if you ever saw it (saw it)You would even say it glows (like a fl ash light)All of the other reindeer (reindeer)Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio)

They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)Then one foggy Christmas EveSanta came to say (Ho Ho Ho)

Rudolph with your nose so brightWon’t you guide my sleigh tonight?Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him)And they shouted out with glee(yippee)“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)You’ll go down in history!”(like Columbus)

Let It Snow!Oh, the weather outside is frightful,But the fi re is so delightful,And since we’ve no place to go,Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn’t show signs of stopping,And I brought some corn for popping;The lights are turned way down low,

Let it snow, let it snow, let

it snow.When we fi nally say good night,How I’ll hate going out in the storm;But if you really hold me tight,|All the way home I’ll be warm.

The fi re is slowly dying,And, my dear, we’re stillgood-bye-ing,

But as long as you love me so.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere you go; Take a look in the fi ve-and-ten, glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in ev’ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen;

And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere you go;

There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park aswell, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carolthat you sing Right within your heart.

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Christmas makes you feel emotionalIt may bring parties or thoughts devotionalWhatever happens or what may be,Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, 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’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.

City street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green,

As the shoppers rush homewith 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.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer.Walking home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there’s no such thing as Santa, but as for me and grandpa we believe.She’d been drinking too much

eggnog, and we begged her not to go. But she forgot her medication, and she staggered out the door into the snow.When we found her Christmas morning, at the scene of the attack, she had hoof-prints on her forehead, and incriminating Claus marks on her back.

Now we’re all so proud of grandpa,He’s been taking this so well.See him in there watching football, drinking root beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel.It’s not Christmas without Grandma,

All the family’s dressed in black and we just can’t help but wonder:Should we open up her gifts, or send them back?

Send them back!!Now the goose is on the table and the pudding made of fi g and the blue and silver candles that would just have matched the hair on grandma’s wig. I’ve warned all my friends and neighbors better watch out for yourselves, they should never give a license to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day. And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said, Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their fl ocks by night, they see a bright new shining star, they hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man

will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted “let everyone know, there is hope for all to fi nd peace”.

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night, they found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn, and in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live for evermore, because of

Christmas Day. Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted “let everyone know, there is hope for all to fi nd peace”.

Oh my Lord...

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go byYet in the dark streets shineth, the everlasting lightThe hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering loveOh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth. And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven

No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sinWhere meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.

Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we prayCast out our sin and enter in, be born in us todayWe hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tellO come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel.

We three kings of Orient are,Bearing gifts we traverse afar,Field and fountain, moor and mountain,Following yonder Star.

Chorus:O, star of wonder, star of might,Star with royal beauty bright,Westward leading, still proceeding,Guide us to thy perfect light.

Born a babe on Bethlehem’s plain;Gold we bring to crown Him again;King forever, ceasing never,Over us all to reign.

Chorus

Frankincense to offer have I;Incense owns a Deity nigh;Prayer and praising, all men raising,Worship Him, God on High.

ChorusMyrrh is mine; its bitter perfumeBreathes a life of gathering gloom;Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,Seal’d in the stone-cold tomb.

ChorusGlorious now behold Him arise,King and God and sacrifi ce,Heaven sings, “Hallelujah!”“Hallejujah!” Earth replies.

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. O, 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.

Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow.

Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, so he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away.”Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around the square saying, Catch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of town right to the traffi c cop. and he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!”For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye saying,“Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snow ManFrosty the Snow ManSleigh bells ring, are you listeningIn the lane, snow is glisteningA beautiful sight, we’re happy tonightwalking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebirdhere to stay is a new birdHe sings a love song, as we go alongwalking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowmanThen pretend that he is Parson BrownHe’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 fi reTo face unafraid, the plans that we’ve madewalking in a winter wonderlandIn the meadow we can build a snowmanand pretend that he’s a circus clownWe’ll have lots of fun with mister snowmanuntil the all the kids knock him down

What child is this, who, laid to rest On Mary’s lap, is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant king to own Him,

The King of kings, salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby: Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,Oh come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;come and behold him, born the King of angels;O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

God of God, light of light,lo, he abhors not the virgin’s womb;very God, begotten not created:O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;glory to God in the highest:O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

See how the shepards summoned to his cradel,leaving their fl ocks, draw nigh with lowly fear;we too will thither hend our joyful footsteps;O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;Jesus, to thee be glory given;word of the Father, now in fl esh appearing:O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Serves 81/2 cup dried apricots & 1/2 cup dried cherries1/2 cup dried fi gs2 pork tenderloins (about 3 pounds total)1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1 cup crumbled blue cheese2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil4 tablespoons butter1/4 cup honey, preferably sourwood honey1. Mince the apricots, cherries & fi gs by hand or in a processor.2. Slice the tenderloins lengthwise, almost all the way

through. Open them up and lay them fl at. Place each tenderloin on a large piece of plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and pound each piece of meat with a meat tenderizer until it is about 1/2-inch thick. Remove the top piece of plastic.

3. Season the surface of the pork with the salt and pepper. Divide the fruit mixture in half and spread evenly on the cut surface of each tenderloin. Top each with half of the cheese. Roll up each tenderloin, using the bottom piece of plastic to help you, tucking in the fruit and cheese as you go. Tie kitchen string every 2 inches around the tenderloins, continuing to push in any fruit or cheese that may fall out.

4. Preheat the oven to 450 F.5. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tied tenderloins, turning as each side is browned. Be

careful when searing the open side, as some fruit and cheese might fall out. You are just trying to seal in the meat juices, not trying to cook the pork all the way through.6. Combine the butter

and honey in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on high for about 20 seconds, or until the butter is melted. Drizzle the butter over the tenderloins.

7. Place the tenderloins on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150 F. Remove the baking sheet and allow the tenderloins to sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will keep the juices in the meat rather than all over your kitchen counter.

8. Snip off and discard the strings. Slice the pork into 1-inch-thick pieces and serve.

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 in the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the skyAnd stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose 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.

Should old acquaintance be forgot,and never brought to mind?Should old acquaintance be forgot,and old lang syne?

CHORUSFor auld lang syne, my dear,for auld lang syne,we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!

and surely I’ll buy mine!And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,for auld lang syne.

CHORUSWe two have run about the slopes,and picked the daisies fi ne;But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.

CHORUSWe two have paddled in the stream,

from morning sun till dine†;

But seas between us broad have

roared since auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand my trusty friend!

And give me a hand o’ thine!

And we’ll take a right good-will

Here came the wise men from Orient land.The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,In all our trials born to be our Friend!He knows our need; to our weakness is no stranger.Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!Truly He taught us to love one another;His law is love and His Gospel is peace.Chains shall He break for the slave is our brotherAnd in His Name all oppression shall cease.Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,Let all within us praise His holy Name!Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!His power and glory evermore proclaim!His power and glory evermore proclaim!
