Rudolph the Go Tell It On Red Nosed The Mountain Reindeer

When I was a seeker I sought both night and day, You know Dasher and Dancer and I asked the Lord to help me, And he showed me the way.

Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder and Chorus Blitzen, But do you recall Go tell it on the mountain The most famous reindeer of all? Over the hills and everywhere, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Go tell it on the mountain, Our Jesus Christ is born.

Had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw it, He made me a watchman You could even say it glows.

Upon a city wall, All of the other reindeer And if I am a Christian, Used to laugh and call him names; I am the least of all.

They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.

Chorus Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, “You’ll go down in history.”

What child is this?

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?

(Chorus) This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Hast, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate?

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.

Chorus So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own him.

The King of king’s salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him.

When Do I Consider A MRI Scan Study For My Pet? This is the question that is asked often now that people in our area are aware

this technology is available. It’s a very good question. Start to talk with your veterinarian about a referral of a MRI study if treatment of a ailment has not improved within two months after first noticing the condition.

- CONSIDER A MRI STUDY when Exploratory Surgery is recommended.

Exploratory surgery is very evasive, a surgeon is going in and looking around.

- CONSIDER A MRI STUDY when your pet has Seizures. Seizures are caused by so many things.

- CONSIDER A MRI STUDY when Back & hip pain are present in your pet.

So much can be going on in a spine and hips that a MRI study will get a isolated answer to work with.

- CONSIDER A MRI STUDY for Heart, Digestive and intestinal concerns.

Radiographs (Xray) show bones not much for soft tissue. Soft tissue concerns come to light with a MRI study. So much can be going on in the mid section of the body, the heart, digestive, and intestinal.

- In conclusion, CONSIDER A MRI STUDY, if treatment of a ailment has not improved within two months after first noticing the condition.

So far there has not been a MRI scan study that has not found a answer to the presented ailment. And surprising the amount of times the out come is a completely different answer to what it was thought to be. Leading to a conclusion to another concept of a different treatment.

A Holly Jolly Christmas 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.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen God rest ye merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas day, To save us all from Satan’s pow’r When we were gone astray; O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

“Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Savior, Of virtue, power, and might; So frequently to vanquish all The friends of Satan quite”; 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 shepherds Brought tidings of the same, How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name:

The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding, In tempest, storm, and wind, And went to Bethlehem straightway This blessed babe to find:

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

“Fear not,” then said the angel,

But when to Bethlehem they

Do You Hear What I Hear

Said the night wind to the little lamb, do you see what I see Way up in the sky, little lamb, do you see what I see A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite.

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king, do you know what I know A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold.

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea.

Said the king to the people everywhere, listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere! listen to what I say The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light.

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.

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 stocking you will find Hanging in a row; Mine will be the shortest one, You’ll be sure to know.

Johnny wants a pair of skates; Suzy wants a doll Nellie wants a storybook; She thinks dolls are folly; As for me, my little brain Isn’t very bright; Choose for me, old Santa Claus, What you think is right.

Oh Holy Night Words by Chappeau de Roquemaure Translated by J.S. Dwight

Oh holy night!

The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!

Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appear’d and the soul 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 Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine Led by the light of Faith serenely

Here Comes Santa Claus Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman (c) 1947

beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming Here come the wise men from Orient land The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend.

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 brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name.

Christmas Songbook 2015

While Shepherds Watched Melody - "Bethlehem", Gottfried Wilhem Fink, 1842 Nahum Tate, 1700 While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around.

Fear not, said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled minds; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, To you and all mankind.

To you in David's town this day, Is born of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, And this shall be the sign: The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed.

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid.

Thus spake the seraph - and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Addressed their joyful song: All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from Heaven to men Begin, and never cease!

Angels We Have Heard On High Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains.

Chorus: Gloria, In Excelsius Deo Shepherd why this jubilee, Why your joyous strains prolong What the gladsome tidings be, Which inspire your heavenly song?

Chorus Come to Bethlehem and see, Christ the Lord the newborn king.

See him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise Chorus

Let It Snow Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire 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 finally 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 fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing, But as long as you love me so.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Christmas Songbook 2015 18 Wishing you It’s Beginning To Look a safe and happy A Lot Like Christmas holiday It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five-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.

United Steelworkers Local 7884 Elkford, BC

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, 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 carol that you sing Right within your heart.

Christmas In Killarney

The holly green, the ivy green The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen Is Christmas in Killarney With all of the folks at home It’s nice, you know, to kiss your beau While cuddling under the mistletoe And Santa Claus you know, of course Is one of the boys from home The door is always open The neighbors pay a call And Father John before he’s gone Will bless the house and all How grand it feels to click your heels And join in the fun of the jigs and reels I’m handing you no blarney The likes you’ve never known Is Christmas in Killarney With all of the folks at home

I’ll Be Home For Christmas I’ll be home for Christmas You can count on me Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I’ll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams

Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer Irish Rovers 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 drinkin’ too much eggnog, And we’d begged her not to go.

But she’d left her medication, So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin’, At the scene of the attack.

There were hoof prints on her forehead, And incriminatin’ claw marks on her back.

Chorus Grandma got run over by a reindeer, Walkin’ home from our house Christmas Eve You can say there’s no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa, He’s been takin’ this so well.

See him in there watchin’ football, Drinkin’ beer and playin’ cards with cousin Belle.

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?

Chorus Now the goose is on the table And the pudding made of fig.

And a blue and silver candle, That would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig.

I’ve warned all my friends and neighbours “Better watch out for yourselves.”

They should never give a license, To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Chorus

The First Noel

The first Noel, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star Shining in the the East, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the northwest, O’er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

Frosty The Mary’s Boy Child Snowman

23

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

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 thumpetty thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpetty thump thump thumpetty 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 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, Sayin’ “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, 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 forever more, because of Christmas Day. Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. While shepherds watch their flocks by night, They saw a bright new shining star, They hear a choir of angels sing, the music came from afar.

Hark; now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live forever more, because of Christmas Day. 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 child was born.

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

Christmas Songbook 2015

’Twas The Night Before Christmas A Visit From St. Nicholas Henry Livingston, 1808

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; “Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen!

On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

May the magic of the Holiday Season make all your Christmas dreams come true.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

Take time to enjoy the things that make Christmas special – family, friends, love and laughter.

Happy Holidays!
