Happy Wear Red Friday! (This cowboy has a red shirt on, under his jacket.) :-)

Have a blessed day and a beautiful December weekend, everyone.









Christmas For Cowboys

Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day,
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
All of the good gifts given today;
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.

Back in the cities, they have diff'rent ways,
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades.
I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins;
Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains.

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night;
The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights,
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray;
Christmas for cowboys and the wide open range.

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day,
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
So many gifts have been opened today;
Ours is the sky and the wide open range,
It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains.

~Steve Weisberg

Hi Mama Bear, Thanks for posting those lyrics. Christmas for Cowboys is my favorite John Denver Christmas themed song. He was friends with the song writer Steve Weisberg.

Cheers
