From our family to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

It has been a family tradition for many years to read “T’was the night before Christmas” every Christmas Eve. Even as our children have grown, we still pull the book out and sit by the fireplace to read it together. There is a bit more giggling now as they sit listening because they are getting older but everyone stays until the end.

Dessert Sugar and Spice Pumpkin Pie Heat the oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin, eggs, egg yolk, cream, and brandy. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, pepper, and cloves. Whisk the sugar mixture into the pumpkin mixture.

Pour the filling into thawed pie crust. Bake until the pie is set around the outside but still slightly wet and jiggly in the center, about 1 hour. The filling will continue to set as it cools. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days before serving.

Make the cream just before serving. Whip the cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it forms very soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, ginger, and brandy and continue whipping until it forms medium-firm peaks, about 30 seconds longer. Dollop in the center of the pie, leaving a band of filling visible around the edge of the pie, or dollop on individual servings.

Carols Carol Of The Bells Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away Christmas is here, bringing good cheer, to young and old, meek and the bold.

Ding dong ding dong that is their song with joyful ring all caroling.

One seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air.

Oh how they pound, raising the sound, o’er hill and dale, telling their tale.

Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.

On on they send, on without end, their joyful tone to every home.

Ding dong ding... dong!

Frosty the Snowman Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.

Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say.

He was made of snow, but the children know 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.

Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, look at Frosty go.

Thumpety 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, sayin’, “Catch me if you can.”

He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop; and 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 cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

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

Carols Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donder and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.

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

Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!

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

Carols Mr.

h c n i r G

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch, You really are a heel, You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch, You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch, Your heart’s an empty hole, Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch, I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You have termites in your smile, You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch, Given a choice between the two of you’d take the seasick crocodile!

You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch, You’re the king of sinful sots, Your heart’s a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch, You’re a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, With a nauseous super “naus”!, You’re a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch, Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!

You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You’re a nasty wasty skunk, Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch, The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, “Stink, stank, stunk”!
