Welcome to Holly Days 2025!
Season’s Greetings from the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce
As we enter this season of reflection and gratitude, we are reminded of the strength and fellowship that define our Chamber members and the broader Sandwich community. This year, we came together in remarkable ways— supporting a fellow business owner who suffered the loss of a restaurant to fire, and standing by our neighbors, friends, and families through challenging times. The holiday season offers us another opportunity to extend that same spirit of generosity to those in need.
The Sandwich Chamber is proud to continue our longstanding holiday traditions, including the Shop Sandwich First Holiday Market on November 6 at The Sagamore Inn and the Community Carol Sing on December 5 at The First Church. Four years ago, we introduced the Village Stroll—held this year on December 7 along Jarves and Main Streets—which has quickly become a cherished community event marking the joyful beginning of the holiday season.
Thank you to our sponsors: This Holiday Season, Invest in Your Business!
As you prepare for the holidays, we encourage you to shop locally and support the businesses that give so much back to our community throughout the year. Our local retailers and restaurants not only provide exceptional products and services, but also contribute generously to youth programs, senior initiatives, and nonprofit organizations. Without their steadfast support, many of our community programs would not have the resources they need to thrive.
On behalf of the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your families for a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
With sincere appreciation, Heidi Trottier

Pecan Crescent Cookies HOLIDAY RECIPES
Ingredients
1 cup pecans
½ pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a food processor, pulse the pecans until the nuts become the texture of coarse sand.
3. Add in the butter, granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla. Pulse until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball.
4. Remove the dough from the machine and place in a mixing bowl.
5. Grabbing about one tablespoon at a time, form the dough into small crescent shapes. The cookies should be about one inch long. Roll the crescents in powdered sugar and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
6. Bake the Pecan Crescents for 30 to 40 minutes.
7. Once the cookies are out of the oven and cooled, roll a second time in powdered sugar.
8. Pecan Crescent Cookies can be gifted in small tins, boxes, or filled inside of a mug.

America the Beautiful
O Beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold him, born the King of angels; O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, 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, all glory in the highest; (Refrain)
O Christmas Tree
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging
Not only green when summer’s here
But also when it’s cold and drear
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging
Joy to the World
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 and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born 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 new-born King! Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the Virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel! (Refrain)
The First Noel
The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields as 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 east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.
(Refrain)
Oh 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 streets shineth
The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night.
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.
Silver Bells
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 ev’ry street corner you’ll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of 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: (Refrain)
Deck the Halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
White Christmas
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten, 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
Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, in the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he is Parson Brown
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’ve made, Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kids knock him down. When it snows, ain’t it thrilling, Though your nose gets a chilling
We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
Oh - (Refrain)
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot; He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot.
Oh - (Refrain)
Away in a Manger
I Have a Little Dreidel
I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay. And when it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body, with legs so short and thin. When it gets all tired, it drops and then I win!
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, with legs so short and thin.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it drops and then I win!
My dreidel's always playful. It loves to dance and spin. A happy game of dreidel, come play now, let's begin. Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it loves to dance and spin. Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, come play now, let's begin.
I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay. When it's dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play.
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 cradle ‘til morning is nigh.
Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer
Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolf play in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
“Rudolf with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee:
“Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!”
O Holy Night
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!
Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high, Singing sweetly through the night, And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Silent Night
Silent 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 Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born,
Christ, the Saviour 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
Frosty the Snowman
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.
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 saying, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”
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’ve bought 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 goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
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.
The
Christmas Song
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, Yuletide 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 going to 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 its been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you!
Here Comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane, Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer Pullin’ on the reins.
Bells are ringin’, children singin’, All is merry and bright.
So hang your stockings and say your prayers, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane, He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys
For boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, Oh what a beautiful sight, So jump in bed, and cover your head, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
