Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Sleigh Ride

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn king;

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing Ring ting tingle-ing, too Come on, it’s lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up it’s grand Just holding your hand We’re gliding along with the song Of a wintry fairyland

Outside the snow is falling And friends are calling “You Hoo” Come on, it’s lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you

Our cheeks are nice and rosy And comfy cozy are we We’re snuggled up together Like two Birds of a feather would be

Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up Let’s go, let’s look at the snow We’re riding in a wonderland of snow

Let’s take the road before us And sing a chorus or two Come on, it’s lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you

Peace on Earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations rise Join the triumph of the skies; With the’ angelic hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

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

Christ, by highest Heav’n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the favoured one.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the’ incarnate Deity!

Pleased as man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel!

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

Hail the heav’nly Prince of Peace!

Hail, the Son of righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings.

Mild He leaves His throne on high, 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!”

Come, Desire of nations come, Fix in us Thy humble home; Oh, to all Thyself impart, Formed in each believing heart!

Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born king; Peace on Earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”

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

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!

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.

It doesn’t show signs of stopping, And I’ve brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned way down low, Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

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!

Little Drummer Boy Come they told me Pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, Pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring Pa rum pum pum pum To lay before the King Pa rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum So to honor Him Pa rum pum pum pum, When we come.

Little Baby Pa rum pum pum pum I am a poor boy too, Pa rum pum pum pum I have no gift to bring Pa rum pum pum pum That’s fit to give our King Pa rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum Shall I play for you!

Pa rum pum pum On my drum.

Mary nodded Pa rum pum pum pum The ox and lamb kept time Pa rum pum pum pum I played my drum for Him Pa rum pum pum I played my best for Him Pa rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum Rum pum pum pum Then He smiled at me Pa rum pum pum pum Me and my drum.

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

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

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

Fast away the old year passes Fa la la la la, la la la la Hail the new ye lads and lasses 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

Sing we joyous all together Fa la la, la la la, la la la Heedless of the wind and weather Fa la la la la, la la la la

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head,

I love Thee Lord Jesus, Look down from the sky And stay by my cradle Till morning is nigh.

The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, And love me, I pray.

The cattle are lowing, The poor Baby wakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes.

Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care, And take us to Heaven, To live with Thee there.

Jingle Bell Rock Jingle bell, jingle bell, Jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing And jingle bells ring Snowing and blowing up Bushels of fun Now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, Jingle bell rock Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Dancing and prancing In Jingle Bell Square In the frosty air.

What a bright time, It’s the right time To rock the night away Jingle bell time is a swell time To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh Giddy-up jingle horse, Pick up your feet Jingle around the clock Mix & a-mingle in the jingling beat That’s the jingle bell, That’s the jingle bell, That’s the jingle bell rock.

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’s a circus clown We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman Until the other kiddies knock him down

In the meadow we can build a snowman Then 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

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 Walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland

The Christmas Song Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

And goodies on his sleigh And every mother’s child is gonna spy To see if reindeer Really know how to fly.

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.

And so I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it’s been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you.

They know that Santa’s on his way He’s loaded lots of toys

Silent Night Silent night! Holy night!

All is calm, all is bright, Round yon Virgin Mother & 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,

Heav’nly 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.

Angels We Have Heard on High

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains.

And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains.

Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, our newborn King.

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous songs prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be, Which inspire your heav’nly song

See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise.

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.

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to the perfect light.

Born a King of Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring, to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign.

O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to the perfect light.

Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh.

Pray’r and praising, all men raising, Worship Him, God most high.

O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to the perfect light.

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorr’wing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to the perfect light.

Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and sacrifice, Alleluia, Alleluia, Earth to the heav’ns replies.

Rockin’Around the Christmas Tree Rocking around the Christmas Tree At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Ev’ry couple tries to stop

You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing “Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly”

Rocking around the Christmas Tree Let the Christmas Spirit ring Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie And we’ll do some caroling

Rocking around the Christmas Tree Have a happy holiday Everyone’s dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way

Here Comes Santa Claus Here comes Santa Claus!

Here comes Santa Claus!

Right down Santa Claus Lane!

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer Are pulling on the reins.

Bells are ringing, children singing; All is merry and bright.

Hang your stockings & say your prayers, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

All the stockings 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; Susy wants a dolly; Nellie wants a story book; 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.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

We Three Kings We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts, we traverse afar; Field and fountain, moor & mountain, Following yonder star.

When the clock is striking twelve, When I’m fast asleep, Down the chimney broad & black, With your pack you’ll creep;

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2017

Here comes Santa Claus!

Right down Santa Claus Lane!

He’s got a bag that is filled with toys For the boys and girls again.

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, What a beautiful sight.

Jump in bed, cover up your head, ‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Have a holly jolly Christmas It’s the best time of the year Well I don’t know if there’ll be snow But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas And in case you didn’t hear Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas this year

Have a holly jolly Christmas And when you walk down the street Say hello to friends you know And everyone you meet

Have a holly jolly Christmas And when you walk down the street Say hello to friends you know And everyone you meet

Ho 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 First Noel The first Noel, the angels 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 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.

The 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.

Then enter’d in those wise men three Full rev’rently upon their knee

And offer’d there, in His presence, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.

Born is the King of Israel.

Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav’nly Lord; That hath made Heav’n and earth of nought, And with His blood mankind hath bought.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.

Born is the King of Israel.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Joy to the World

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.

Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.

Is the hope of Janice and Jen, And Mom and Dad can hardly wait For school to start again.

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.

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.

A pair of hop-along boots And a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben, Dolls that will talk And will go for a walk,

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.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Joy to the world! The Saviour 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.

No more let sin or sorrow grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make his blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth & grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love.

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry, You better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town!

Little tin horns, little toy drums.

Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo, Elephants, boats and diddie cars too.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake.

He knows when you’ve been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake!

The kids in Girl and Boy Land Will have a jubilee.

They’re gonna build a toyland town All around the Christmas tree.

O Holy Night

So...You better watch out, you better not cry You better not pout, I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Oh....You better watch out, You better not cry.

You better not pout, I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is comin’, Santa Claus is comin’ Santa Claus is comin’ to town.

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth. a 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.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away.

Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together If the Fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Here we are as in olden days, Happy golden days of yore.

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices O night divine, O night when Christ was born; O night divine!

O night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.

Led by the light of a star sweetly gleaming Here came the wise men from the Orient land.

The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends.

Chorus

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.”

Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace.

Chains he shall 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 Chorus

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year There’ll be much mistletoeing And hearts will be glowing

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 streets shineth The everlasting Light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight O morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the King And Peace to men on Earth For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given!

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

No ear may his His coming, But in this world of sin,

Where meek souls Will receive him still, The dear Christ enters in.

Where children pure and happy Pray to the blessed child, Where misery cries out to thee, Son of the mother mild; Where charity stands watching And faith holds wide the door, The dark night wakes, The glory breaks, And Christmas comes once more.

O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us, we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born to us today We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold, “Peace on the Earth, goodwill to men From heav’n’s all gracious King.”

The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurl’d, And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world: Above its sad and lonely plains They bend on hov’ring wing.

And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing.

O ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow: Look now, for glad the golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years, Shall come the time foretold, When the new heav’n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

O ye, beneath life’s crushing load Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the arduous way With painful steps and slow; Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing.

O rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing.

“Peace on the earth, goodwill to men From heav’n’s all gracious King.”

The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night She didn’t see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up In my bedroom fast asleep Then I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Greg Holmes

Daniel Poncelet

Owner, Daniel Le Chocolat Belge

Executive Director, Lower Lonsdale Business Improvement Area

Chocolate Mousse

Olde Holmes Family Stuffing

This easy and classical recipe is Daniel’s grandmother’s recipe.

SERVES 4 4 eggs 4 tbsp (raze) fine granulated sugar

3. Cook the meat in another fry pan, breaking up as it browns to get as crumbly as possible.

4 cups crushed ½” bread crumbs

4. Do not drain the fat because you want moist stuffing.

1 cup fine bread crumbs

5. Mix everything together is a big bowl.

1 cup oats

100gr (4oz) dark Belgian chocolate

1 cup sunflower seeds

1. Separate the egg white from the yolk.

1 cup raisins

6. Add the broth and refrigerate.

1 cup diced walnuts

7. Stuff the bird if desired. For the rest of the stuffing, bake in a covered baking dish at 300 degrees F for ~ 2 hours. Take the lid off for the last 30 minutes to have a crunchy top.

½ lb butter

2. Place the chocolate in the top section of a double boiler that is set over, but not touching, lightly simmering water.

3 diced celery sticks 3 medium diced onions 2 tbsp Italian spice

3. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

6. With the spatula, delicately fold the egg whites in three parts, into the chocolate.

4. Beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks.

7. Spoon the chocolate mousse into 4 champagne glasses, wineglasses or ramekins.

5. Mix the egg yolks in the melted chocolate and then add the sugar. Fold through then transfer immediately the chocolate mix in a mixing bowl using a spatula.

A double recipe for lots of leftovers – one for the bird one in a baking dish. Best to make the day before.

8. Cover tightly with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the mousse to solidify.

½ tsp each of oregano, savory, sage, rosemary, thyme 3 lbs pork sausage (or 2 frozen tubes) 1 cup chicken broth 1. Mix the first 6 ingredients in a big bowl and set aside.

2. Lightly sauté the celery and onions in the butter. Add spices and set aside.

5. Combine cooked Brussel sprouts, crumbled bacon in a covered casserole dish, pour heated white sauce over and toss to coat.
