does anyone ever do christmas carols any more?
i may be giveing away my age but when we were kids our big thing was going around town and old age homes singing christmas carols . the church and town people would join together. people would open thier doors and put money in our jar and bless us . we would then donate the money to a good cause. it made all us kids feel good like we helped serve a good deed for someone in need, instead of thinking of ourselves and what we could get. i think kids now days dont appreciate the meaning of christmas.
christmas carols
can we bring back the good ole days?
good question dadummy, but as for me NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This is one from me
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
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!
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!
So..........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.
Little toy dolls
that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats
and Kiddie cars too.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
The kids in Girl and Boy Land
will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a toyland town
all around the Christmas tree.
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.

You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose
(like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it
(saw it)
You would even say it glows
(like a flash light)
All of the other reindeer
(reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names
(like Pinochio)
They never let poor Rudolph
(Rudolph)
Play in any reindeer games
(like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
(Ho Ho Ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him
(loved him)
And they shouted out with glee
(yippee)
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
You'll go down in history!"
(like Columbus)

One for New Year's eve
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintances be forgotten,
And days of long ago !
Chorus:
For old long ago, my dear
For old long ago,
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago.
We two have run about the hillsides
And pulled the daisies fine,
But we have wandered many a weary foot
For old long ago.
We two have paddled (waded) in the stream
From noon until dinner time,
But seas between us broad have roared
Since old long ago.
And there is a hand, my trusty friend,
And give us a hand of yours,
And we will take a goodwill draught (of ale)
For old long ago!
And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine!
And we will take a cup of kindness yet
For old long ago!
ok, how many christmas's are left yet? Russian christmas is still to come, anyone know of any others that fall after the traditional December 25th?
Yeah,
26th was the second christmas day in some European countries. one is on the 7th of January, celebrated by the orthodox church of Jerusalem, Russia, Serbia, Macedonia, Georgia...
Any other dates?
I could easily switch to the european, I am of german desent so that would work for me, but it still does not give me alot of time to shop at the lower prices, so I could kick around some of the January 7th dates and see if I could possibly squeeze in there somewhere. LOL, just kidding, everyone in the family does the December 25th date, they would freak out if I suddenly had christmas on January 7th.
