Time‌ it slips by so quickly, and yet so stealthily to be almost imperceptible.

The days have turned into months and the months turn into years. This December will be an exciting time for the Lake City Ford Family, as we say goodbye to our old location and move into our brand new dealership.

During the holiday season, our thoughts turn to those who have made our progress possible, our families, our friends, our customers, and our business associates. There is no time more fitting than now to say,

~ Thank

You. ~

From the Lake City Ford family to yours, we wish you a happy holiday season, and a new year of health, happiness and prosperity.

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

Y

ou 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?

All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names; They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.

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

You’ll go down in history.

LET IT SNOW!

O

h 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 kiss goodnight How I’ll hate going out in the storm But if you’ll really hold me tight All the way home I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying And my dear we’re still good byeing But as long as you love me so Let it snow! Let it snow!

Let it snow!

WINTER WONDERLAND

S

leigh-bells ring, are you list’nin, In the lane, snow is glist’nin.

A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay, is the new bird, He sings a love song, as we go along, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

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 made, Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!

In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown,

The civilized way to return to nature.

Nuts & Bolts For the Snack Mix 4 cups corn chex 4 cups wheat chex 3 cups rice chex 3 cups skinny bite-sized pretzels 2 cups cheerios 1-1/2 cups salted nuts

For the Butter Seasoning 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or vegetable oil) 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 heaping teaspoons seasoned salt 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder 3/4 teaspoon onion powder 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme Instructions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Combine all of the snack mix ingredients in a large disposable aluminum pan.Combine all of the butter seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour slowly over snack mix, stirring as you go, to coat evenly. Continue stirring until snack mix is well coated with seasoning. Bake for 1-1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool, then serve or store in an airtight container.

Note: You can omit any of the snack mix ingredients as long as you substitute something else. The idea is to keep the ratio of snack mix to butter seasoning the same. Also, be sure your oven is fully preheated before you put the snack mix in. The initial surge of heat to preheat the oven will burn the snack mix in a heartbeat.

SILVER BELLS

C

hristmas makes you feel emotional, It may bring parties of thoughts devotional, Whatever happens or what may be, Here is what Christmas means to me.

City sidewalks, 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 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 home with their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene, And above all this bustle you hear; Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city.

Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas Day.

WHITE CHRISTMAS

I

’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know, When the tree tops glistened And children listen To hear sleigh bells 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.

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.

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

O

little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark street shineth, The ever lasting light, The 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 love.

O 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 giv’n, So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav’n.

No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us we pray, Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell Oh, come to us, abide with us Our Lord Immanuel!

MARY’S BOY CHILD

M

ary’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 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 for evermore Because of Christmas Day. While shepherds watched their flock by night,

They saw a bright new shining star they hear a choir sing song The music seemed to come from afar.

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.

By and by they find a little nook In a stable all forlorn, And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy was born.

Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinner reconciled.

Joyful, all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem, Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.”

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

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.”

O HOLY NIGHT

O

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, ‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.

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 wise men from out the orient land.

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, O night, Oh night Divine!

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, With all our hearts we praise His 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!

WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED

W

hile 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 Savior, 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 shinning throng, Of angels, praising God, Who thus addressed their joyful song.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

F

rosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob 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.

Oh, 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.

Butter Tarts Ingredients pie pastry (enough to fill 16 muffin cups, your own or from a mix) 1⁄2 cup raisins 1⁄4 cup soft butter 1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar 1 pinch salt 1⁄2 cup corn syrup 1 egg, lightly beaten 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 4-inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill.

In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.

In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.

Add egg and vanilla and mix well.

Drain raisins.

Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.

Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling.

Canadians fall into two camps about butter tarts and are quite loyal to their favourite type: runny or firm.

I like runny-- the type that dribbles when you bite into one; if you like firm, bake them for the full 20 minutes, even adding another minute or two if you wish.

Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.

SILENT NIGHT

ilent 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 A ‘ lleluia’ Christ the Saviour, is born!

Christ, the Saviour, is born!

Silent night! Holy night!

Child of heaven! O how bright Thou didn’t smile when Thou was born!

Blessed be that happy morn.

Full of heavenly joy, Full of heavenly joy.

AWAY IN A MANGER

way 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 poor Baby awakes But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;

T

Silent night! Holy night!

Darkness flies, all is right!

Shepherds hear the angels sing: “Hallelujah! Hail the King!”

Christ the Saviour is born!

Christ the Saviour is born!

I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle ‘til 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 fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.

THE FIRST NOEL

he 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.

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

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

Chorus: 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.

Chorus: Then entered in those wisemen three, Full reverently upon their knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense.

Chorus:

T’was The Night Before Christmas

By Clement Clarke Moore

‘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 our brains for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my 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 a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he 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 leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the housetop the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—

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

As I drew in my head, 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 pedler 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 on 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 bowl full 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!”

GOOD KING WENCESLAS

G

ood King Wenceslas looked out On the feast of Stephen When the snow lay round about Deep and crisp and even Brightly shone the moon that night Though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight Gath’ring winter fuel “Hither, page, and stand by me If thou know’st it, telling Yonder peasant, who is he?

Where and what his dwelling?”

“Sire, he lives a good league hence Underneath the mountain Right against the forest fence

By Saint Agnes’ fountain.”

“Bring me flesh and bring me wine Bring me pine logs hither Thou and I will see him dine

When we bear him thither.”

Page and monarch forth they went Forth they went together Through the rude wind’s wild lament And the bitter weather “Sire, the night is darker now And the wind blows stronger Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer.”

“Mark my footsteps, my good page Tread thou in them boldly Thou shalt find the winter’s rage Freeze thy blood less coldly.”

In his master’s steps he trod Where the snow lay dinted Heat was in the very sod Which the Saint had printed Therefore, Christian men, be sure Wealth or rank possessing Ye who now will bless the poor Shall yourselves find blessing
