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.

Caroling on The Circle

O Little Town of Bethlehem Author - Phillips Brooks

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 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 given!

So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven.

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, 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, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go.

Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety, 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 saying, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go.

Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Todd F. Lawson Sussex County Administrator

The Georgetown Chamber is extra excited this year to partner with Sussex County Government for their 40th Annual Food Drive and Caroling on The Circle. Both the Christmas Parade and Caroling on The Circle are LONG standing traditions here in Georgetown.

Always a start to the holiday season here in Sussex County, the parade signals the lighting of the Christmas tree right in the circle and serves as a beacon of the holidays to anyone coming into the circle during the holidays.

The theme for 2023 is Christmas in Toyland which can really bring out the creativity of our 96 + parade entries, so we are extremely excited to see what wonder all of them will bring for us and especially the kids. We are also extremely honored to play into this with our grand marshall this year, Louise Rathfon, a 45+ volunteer for Boy Scouts of America, especially her work with Cub and Boy Scout Troop 95.

Please join us in showing her how much we appreciate her hard work.

We invite everyone to come out to the circle on Thursday, December 7th, listen to the sounds of the season with Caroling, plan to have dinner with our many restaurants (Café On the Circle, Maudy’s & Carusoes) right near the circle and the food trucks that will in front of Family Court. (Blazin’ Grill, Cindy’s Meals o Wheels, Rehoboth Hot Dog and Freebirds Mobile Bar). Also returning to The Circle is Discover Church who will be handing out hot chocolate.

I would be very remiss if I didn’t give a shout out to our Sponsors: Weston Willows, Diamond Fabrication, Impact Graphix, Info Retrieval, Generations Welding & Contracting, Coast TV, JennyGems, Pam Rehabilitation Hospital, TV Delmarva, Little Faces Learning Center, The Rosa Health Center, Baker Petroleum and Leadership Techniques LLC. I would also like to thank our Parade Judges: Becky Carney, Jackie Lamothe, Sarah Gilmour, Michael Scutari, Brian O’Sullivan, Jvonne Oliver, Paco Hernandez, Kelly Stevenson and Lt Col Randon Davis, all who work under the watchful eye of Donna Koskey who has hosted the judges for many years at her store on the Circle, Chardon Jewelers. Another shout out to our hard working parade coordinators: Garry Kilmon, Sue Messick, Ray Hopkins, Jim Tyler, Scott Anthony, Kay Young and Donna Shifflet.

Last but certainly not least, a huge thank you to the Georgetown Police Department who coordinates all of the logistics to keep our parade goers and entrants safe and the Georgetown Public Works Department who keeps everything together before and after the parade.

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 kiss good night.

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 goodbyeing, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Away in a Manger Author - James R. Murray

Away in a manger, No crib for His bed The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head The stars in the 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 until 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 take us for heaven To live with Thee there.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Bells on bob tails ring

God and sinners 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!”

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!”

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas Author - Irving Berlin

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
