2 tbsp. olive oil ½lb ground sirloin Salt and pepper 1 jalapeno, diced 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp ground cumin 3 tbsp tomato sauce 2 tbsp tequila juice of 1 lime ½ c kidney beans ¾lb bag tortilla chips 2 c Monterey Jack cheese 2 Roma tomatoes 3 tbsp diced red onion 2 tbsp. sliced black olives 3 tbsp diced Cubanelle (or banana) pepper 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

750 g Cream Cheese 2 oz Spiced Rum by ??

Once the mixture has completely combined, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.

Preheat your oven at this point to 300ºF. Pour mixture into mason jars, and place into a casserole dish, or another dish that has walls. You will be baking the cheesecakes in a water bath. Pour hot water into the casserole dish until the water reaches halfway up the mason jar. Place cheesecakes in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheesecakes have set. To check if the cheesecakes are done, simply shake the pan. The cheesecakes should not be molten in the middle. Cool cheesecakes completely before serving.

All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth Everybody stops and stares at me These two teeth are gone as you can see I 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 two front teeth, see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish 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) All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth.

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you “Merry Christmas!”

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on 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 sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh.

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.

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 traffic cop.

And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!”

For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye saying, O, Frosty the snowman was “Don’t you cry, alive as he could be, and the I’ll be back again some day.” children say he could laugh & Thumpetty thump thump, play just the same as you & me. thumpety thump thump, Thumpetty thump thump, Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thumpety thump thump, thump thump, Look at Frosty go. thumpety thump thump, Thumpetty thump thump, Over the hills of snow. thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.”

Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, good will to men from heaven’s all gracious King.”

Christ, by highest heav’n adored; Christ, the ever lasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Off spring of the virgin’s womb.

Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail th’in carnate deity Please, as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Immanuel!

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

Hail! The heav’n born Prince of Peace!

Hail! The Son of righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings.

Mild He lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

Still thru the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world.

Above it’s sad and lowly plains They bend on hov’ring wing, And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing.

For lo! the days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever circling years Shall come the time fore told.

When the new heav’n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song

Which now the angels sing.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Oh Come All Ye Faithful

Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way!

Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say: Christmas Eve is coming soon; now, you dear old man Whisper what you’ll bring to me; tell me if you can.

You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?

Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.

Come and behold him, born the king of angels,

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows (like a flash light) All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio) They never let poor Rudolph Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly).

Oh come let us adore him, Oh come let us adore him Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord.

When the clock is striking twelve, when I’m fast asleep Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you’ll creep All the stockings you will find hanging in a row Mine will be the shortest one, you’ll be sure to know.

Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled Nellie wants a picture book; yellow, blue, and red Now I think I’ll leave to you what to give the rest Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; you will know the best.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) Rudolph with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then all the reindeer loved him And they shouted out with glee (yippee) “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer You’ll go down in history!”

Joy to the World

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Joy to the world! the Lord is 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 & nature sing.

You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town.

Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains.

He’s making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake!

He rules the world with truth & 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.

O! You better watch out!

You better not cry.

Better not pout, I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town, Santa Claus is coming to town.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing with exultations, Sing all ye citizens of heav’n above Glory to God, glory in the highest.

Oh come let us adore him, Oh come let us adore him Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord.

Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be glory giv’n Word of the father, now in flesh appearing.

Oh come let us adore him, Oh come let us adore him Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord.

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree Rocking around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to stop Rocking around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie and we’ll do some caroling.

Silent Night

The Christmas Song

Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother & child.

Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace.

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide 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 gonna 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 it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you.

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.

City 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.

White Christmas I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know, Where the tree tops glisten, and children listen To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright, And may all your Christmases be white.

Maple-Glazed Pumpkin Cranberry Loaf Preheat oven to 350oF. Place the first six ingredients in a bowl and whisk. Mix in the cranberries and nuts. Place pumpkin, sugar, apple sauce, oil and eggs in a second bowl and whisk to combine. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.

Grease two, 4 1/2-x8-1/2-inch non-stick loaf pans with vegetable oil spray. Divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for 60 min, or until the loaf springs back when touched in the very centre. Set the loaves on a baking rack. While still warm, divide and brush the top of each loaf with maple syrup. When cooled to room temperature, unmould loaves. Wrap and store at cool room temperature until ready to slice and serve.

Place each quarter onto a baking sheet, forming a long strip about 9” long and 2.5” wide.

Sprinkle with coloured sugar. Bake the loaves for 35 minutes, switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F.Transfer the warm loaves to a cutting board and, cut crosswise into 1/2” slices. Line the baking sheets with new parchment paper.
