Went to see a performance of Handel's Messiah last night--a really great work for inspiring the spirit of the season.

The Phil Spector Christmas album was such a huge
part of my childhood. I still love it.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog, And we'd begged her not to go. But she'd left her medication, So she stumbled out the door into the snow. When they found her Christmas mornin', At the scene of the attack. There were hoof prints on her forehead, And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back. Grandma go run over by a reindeer, Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. Now were all so proud of Grandpa, He's been takin' this so well. See him in there watchin' football, Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle. It's not Christmas without Grandma. All the family's dressed in black. And we just can't help but wonder: Should we open up her gifts or send them back? Grandma got run over by a reindeer, Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. Now the goose is on the table And the pudding made of pig. And a blue and silver candle, That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig. I've warned all my friends and neighbors. Better watch out for yourselves." They should never give a license, To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves. Grandma got run over by a reindeer, Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] |

From the legendary REK:
Mom got drunk and dad got drunk At our Christmas party We were drinkin' champagne punch And homemade egg nog Little sister brought her new boyfriend He was a Mexican We didn't know what to think of him Til he sang Feliz Navidad Feliz Navidad My brother Ken brought his kids with him The three from his first wife Lynn And the two identical twins From his second wife Mary Nell 'Course he brought his new wife Kay Who talks all about AA Chain smokin' while the stereo plays Noel, noel, the first noel Chorus Carve the turkey Turn the ball game on Mix marguarita's when the egg nog's gone Send somebody to the quick-pak store We need some ice and an extension cord A can of bean dip and some diet rite A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights Hallelujah, everybody say cheese Merry Christmas from the family Fred and Rita drove from Harlingen I can't remember how I'm kin to them But when they tried to plug their motorhome in They blew our Christmas lights Cousin David knew just what went wrong So we waited out on our front lawn He threw the breaker and the lights came on And we sang Silent Night Oh silent night Oh holy night Chorus Carve the turkey Turn the ball game on Make Bloody Marys 'cause we all want one Send somebody to the Stop and Go We need some celery and a can of fake snow A bag of lemmons and some diet sprite A box of tampons and some Salem Lights Hallelujah, everybody say cheese Merry Christmas from the family Feliz Navidad Edit: I copied this off some site. It obviously was copied down by somebody who wasn't from Texas. I have corrected the errors to reflect the right lyrics.

The Gift
A poor orphan girl named Maria was walking to market one day She stopped for a rest by the roadside where a bird with a broken wing lay A few moments passed till she saw it for it's feathers were covered with sand But soon clean and wrapped it was traveling in the warmth of Maria's small hand She happily gave here last peso on a cage made of rushes and twine She fed it loose corn from the market and watched it grow stronger with time Now the Christmas Eve service was coming and the church shone with tinsel and light and all of the townfolk brought presents to lay by the manger that night There were diamonds and incense and perfume in packages fit for a king but for one raggged bird in a small cage Maria had nothing to bring She waited till just before midnight so no one would see her go in and crying she knelt by the manger for her gift was unworthy of Him Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness, Maria what brings you to me If the bird in the cage is your offering, open the door, let me see. Though she trembled, she did as he asked her and out of the cage the bird flew Souring up into the rafters on a wing that had healed good as new Just then the midnight bells rang out and the little bird started to sing a song that no words could recapture whose beauty was fit for a king Now Maria felt blessed just to listen to that cascade of notes sweet and long As her offering was lifted to heaven by the very first nightingale's song. (a very pretty song on the Garth Brooks xmas cd) |

xmas mood
bump.
already in xmas mood ? did you rehearse the xmas songs well ? any song lyrics prefered ? sounds not bad ;-)... or more classic It's the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling, and everyone telling you, "Be of good cheer," It's the most wonderful time of the year. There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting and caroling out in the snow. there'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago. It's the most wonderful time of the year. There'll be much mistletoeing and hearts will be glowing, when loved ones are near. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

 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 Savior is born! Christ the Savior is born. Silent night, holy night! Son of God love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face With dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth. Jesus Lord, at Thy birth. why this one, sike ? any special reason ?

I love Handel's Messiah. Totally amazing. My two favorites are "For Unto Us a Child Is Born" and of course the "Hallelujah Chorus". Amy Grant's first Christmas cd is pretty good too. My favorites from that cd are "Heirlooms" and "Love Has Come". Good stuff.

GOOD KING JOY Joy to the world The Lord has come Let earth Receive her king Now it was long ago When it all began Back in Bethlehem In the promised land When a single star Appeared in the sky And three kings saw And they each asked why And they checked the books Full of prophecy And the one king said Why it's plain to me You see it means That a king is born Who will save mankind On this blessed morn So they packed some gold Myrrh and frankincense On some old camel With some fancy tents Closed down the house Set the servants free And three kings rode Into history It was long ago In a foreign land When the Lord looked down Said to make a stand So He sent His son And said, 'through him you'll know me!' Then the angels came And when they start to sing All at once the past It doesn't mean a thing And the star comes out And the wise men say, Hey show me! And they followed it Over hills and sand Til' they found the child Like it all was planned And as they knelt before The newborn king The angel's were singing In their angel style How all of our hopes Had come down to this child Then he reached for the song And he held it in his hand (It was something that he did Because angels can) And he wondered to himself "Is this the answer that I sought" But something was still missing Or at least so he still thought And so he journeyed on Through the midnight winter air When all at once our angel Felt the touch of a man's prayer And looking once more to the earth To determine whence it came He felt a million souls below But one was not the same For there he saw a man alone Though he was walking in a crowd And though this man had rarely prayed Tonight his head was bowed For even in a crowd, you see A heart can feel alone When the night is Christmas Eve A child is not at home So from a father to the Lord A prayer did swiftly race But the angel saw it first And he listened to its case ;-)

Its hard to go wrong with anything Nat King Cole, TSO, Elvis or Bing Crosby.

At my house, it just doesn't feel like Christmas without Amy Grant's Home for Christmas CD.

Just a quick ? though raef... do you mean this one?
 ? If so, That isn't called Christmas Collection, just The Collection. It's like a best of album. And I do own that one. I couldn't find one called A Christmas Collection anywhere online, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And although that album certainly has some songs that could be passed as Christmas songs(Emmanuel, El Shaddai), it isn't a Christmas album. .Excellent album though.

 I couldn't find a release date on it, but I know it was her first Christmas album. I had the name wrong. It is called Christmas Album (how original!). It has a unique version of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" that I could listen to over and over and over again. And I also have The Collection. It's a good one! I love her older stuff.
