[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

As a musician, I abdo-lutely HATE Christmas music. It shouldn’t be played before Christmas Eve! The worst? Silver Bells! It’s a Christian holiday, not a commercial holiday!

Back Door Santa Lyrics
Artist(Band):Bon Jovi & Jon Bon Jovi

Okay boys, let’s do it!

I’m your backdoor Santa
I make my run at the break of day
They call me backdoor Santa
I make my run at the breack of day
I keep the little girls happy, while the boys are out to play

Well I ain’t like old Saint Nick, he don’t come but once a year(once a year)
Well I ain’t like old Saint Nick, he don;t come but once a year
I,I, come runnin’ with my presents, every time you call me dear

I keep some change in my pocket, when the jumpin’s goin’ on
I gave a few pennies, so we could be alone
I kept that door open, in case anyone smelled a mouse
‘Cause Johnny’s in some trouble, there ain’t no chimney in the house

Uh-oh, could be in some trouble boys
Hey Rudolph, Richie, get me outta here

They call me backdoor Santa
I make my run at the break of day
They call me backdoor Santa
I make my run at the break of day
I keep the little girls happy, while the boys are out to play

Hear them say ho ho ho ho (ho ho ho ho), hey hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey)
Ho ho ho ho (ho ho ho ho), hey hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey)
Ho ho ho ho (ho ho ho ho), hey hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey)
Come on boys, give it up, ho ho ho ho (ho ho ho ho), hey hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey)
Ho ho ho ho (ho ho ho ho), hey hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey)
Ho ho ho ho (ho ho ho ho), merry christmas everybody
Merry christmas ‘y’all

[motor_racer]

Deck us all with Boston Charlie!
Walla Walla Wash, and Kalamazoo!

Nora’s freezin’ on the trolley!
Swaller dollar cauliflower, Alliegaroo!!!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Oh, so few to choose from. No, really, take a look at the Christmas albums out there, who needs to hear another lame interpretation of _______________ (your favourite song title there) by this year's teenage idol?

So, other than the traditional Christmas carols that we sang in church when we was little, it'll be the ones by Johnny Preston, Brenda Lee and Chuck Berry. Alan Jackson had a good new one a few years ago, I forget the title. And of course, Santa Baby, but please, by Eartha Kitt, and the Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller classic sung by Elvis, where the lyrics say and they mean it, you know what "coming down your chimney tonight"!

[OriginalChristian]

White Christmas, The Drifters, with Clyde McPhatter, 1954.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Billy May Orchestra, date unknown
Sleigh Ride, Leroy Anderson, arr for Band or Orchestra, date unknown
Oh Holy Night.
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Acoustic Version, Barenaked Ladies, date unknown.

[doug from upland]

Oh, Holy Night. Hearing that at Christmas Mass brings tears to my eyes. Nothing even comes close.

[CaptainK]

From “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We’ll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...
