Cookies and Caroling:
Our Annual Tradition
Oh the weather outside is frightful! But the fire is so delightful!
Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus,
We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas
You better watch out, you better not cry
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
City sidewalks busy sidewalks.
The first Noel the angel did say.
Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (reindeer)
You better watch out, you better not cry.
O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie!
Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus,
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Silent night! Holy night, all is calm, all is bright
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul!
Remember these songs? How long have they been in our heads? Every year, this time of year comes round again, and these beautiful pieces fill the airways. They bounce around in our heads and minds, like a rubber ball jumping from side to side. It’s so much fun to sing along with them! By the end of the season we are probably sick of these melodies but right now, the beginning of the season, they feel like fresh fallen snow! I look forward to them. Can you name these tunes? Can you sing the next line? What about the next after that? That’s where it gets more difficult. Sure, most of the words to the main ones we’ve been singing for years, but some of the newer ones that are so pretty, the lyrics are a little more entwined. Want to sing out the rest of these lyrics? We want everyone to know the words, so the lyrics will be available on our website at https://bbuuc.org/?p=1658 Print them up, on the day of the party and bring them with you for a great night of caroling, right here at the church, in our own neighborhood!
