Christmas

PoinsettiaThe popular Christmas flower, the poinsettia, is native to Mexico. The legend of how it came to be is as follows: two poor children in Mexico loved Christ very much but had nothing to offer him at the church service. They each picked weeds and laid them with the infant Jesus doll in the nativity scene. All the other children laughed at them until the poinsettia bloomed from their weeds.

Dr. Joel Poinsett brought the poinsettia to American, over one hundred years ago.

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth.Long lay the world in sin and error pining.Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.Fall on your knees!Oh, hear the angel voices!O night divine,the night when Christ was born;O night, O holy night, O night divine!O night, O holy night, O night divine!Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.O’er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,Now come the wisemenfrom out of the Orient land.

The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger;In all our trials born to be our friends.He knows our need,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 he shall break,for the slave is our brother.And in his name all oppression shall cease.Sweet hymns of joyin grateful chorus raise we,With all our hearts we praiseHis holy name.Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,His power and glory ever more proclaim!His power and glory ever more proclaim!

O Holy NightDashing through the snowIn a one horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we goLaughing all the wayBells on bob tails ringMaking spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh

A day or two agoI thought I’d take a rideAnd soon Miss Fanny

BrightWas seated by my sideThe horse was lean and

lankMisfortune seemed his lotWe got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh

yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh
