    Merry Christmas

    http://jimcolyer.com/sitebuilder/fla....xml%3Ft%3D128

    MERRY CHRISTMAS
    We got so many presents under the Christmas tree
    Santa Claus has been good to you and me
    As you steal a kiss under the mistletoe
    Merry Christmas to you

    We got turkey and dressing smothered in cranberry sauce
    We got honeybaked ham and a bottle of wine of course
    In the candlelight, I propose this toast
    Merry Christmas to you

    Snow is falling, friends are calling
    The neighborhood's dressed in white
    Bells are ringing, the choir is singing
    Their version of "Silent Night"

    We won't forget the real meaning of this day
    The day on which our Savior was born
    It's Jesus Christ on my Christmas card
    Merry Christmas to you
    Oh yeah!

    Snow is falling, friends are calling
    The neighborhood's dressed in white
    Bells are ringing, the choir is singing
    Their version of "Silent Night"

    We won't forget the real meaning of this day
    The day on which our Savior was born
    It's Jesus Christ on my Christmas card
    Merry Christmas to you
    Merry Christmas to you

    Hi Jim,

    Thanx for kicking off the Christmas Spirit on MIMF. An excellent poem on which to start the festivities.

    Great sentiment, Jim. Yesterday my ladywife and I went to one of the local churches for a Christmas Concert. It was a most varied program featuring the church's choir, a hand bell chorus from one of the area women's colleges and five groups from the University which is located next to the church. Their contribution included a vocal group, a wind quintet, two soloists, and a trio of instrumentalists. At the conclusion of the concert the guest organist, who directed the bell choir played the Postlude on Mendelssohn by Sir David Willcox on the churches organ.



    It made a stirring conclusion to a wonderful afternoon.
