Christmas Printer

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She’d been drinkin’ too much egg nog,
And we’d begged her not to go.
But she’d left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin’,
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin’ Claus marks on her back.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin’ home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He’s been takin’ this so well.
See him in there watchin’ football,
Drinkin’ beer and playin’ cards with cousin Belle.

It’s not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family’s dressed in black.
And we just can’t help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin’ home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig.

I’ve warned all my friends and neighbours.
Better watch out for yourselves.”
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin’ home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Up on the housetop reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones
Christmas joys

Chorus
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with
Good Saint Nick

First comes the stocking
Of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa
Fill it well
Give her a dolly
That laughs and cries
One that will open
And shut her eyes

Repeat Chorus

Next comes the stocking
Of little Will
Oh, just see what
A glorious fill
Here is a hammer
And lots of tacks
Also a ball
And a whip that cracks

Repeat Chorus

• Always give Christmas trees a fresh cut before bringing them in the house.  Remove at least an inch from the bottom, and be sure to cut straight across for maximum water retention.

• Drill a small hole in the bottom of the tree to increase water intake.

• Make sure your tree is kept in a reservoir while it is inside.  Check the water daily to make sure that the tree is not drying out.  Lack of water will lead to browning and loss of needles.  If your tree is being kept outside or on a non-heated porch, there is no need for water.

• Allow your tree some time to fall.  Leave it on a porch outside overnight.  This allows the tree to regain its natural shape and shake off any loose needles before you bring it inside.

• Avoid Fire hazards and over drying.  Be sure to keep the tree away from heaters, vents, fireplaces, etc.

• Always recycle your Christmas tree.  It can be used for mulch or wood chips.  Go online to find a tree recycling program near you.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev’ry mother’s
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I’m offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho’ it’s been said many times
Many ways; “Merry Christmas to you”

Are you stuck in a yuletide rut?  Do a little research and spruce up the holidays with a different type of tree.

Balsam Fir- Balsam Fir trees have short, flat, dark green needles.  They have a very strong fragrance that people associate with the holidays, and are the most common type of Christmas tree.

Frasier Fir – Named for John Fraser, who explored the Appalachians in the late 1700’s, these trees have dark green, flattened needles. They are famous for their good needle retention, cone shape, and dense, strong branches.

Scotch Pine- These trees have stiff branches and long, dark green, rounded needles.  Scotch Pines are less dense and have more room for ornaments. Also, these trees have a long-lasting scent, as long as they receive plenty of water.

Douglas Fir –Douglas Fir trees have more of a bluish color.  The 1” to 1 ½” needles have one of the best aromas among Christmas trees. These trees also have a great pyramid shape.

White Pine – White pine trees have soft, blue-green needles, which they retain throughout the holiday season.  They have a very full appearance and support fewer decorations.  These trees are less scented than most, and are better for people with allergies.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There’s a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev’ry street corner you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa’s big scene
And above all this bustle
You’ll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

I ordered my holiday cards the other day! It’s the first time that I ordered them online but I think that they turned out great. I haven’t received them yet since I only ordered them two days ago, but the design online looked great. I uploaded a photo for the cover and was able to write a nice holiday message on the inside. At least know people will see that fancy cursive writing instead of my awful penmanship! I can’t wait to get them and send them out.

I’m a little late this year but I think there is still plenty of time. I ordered my cards from the Vistaprint and they were pretty inexpensive. I found a site that has a 50% off discount on all of their holiday products. If anyone still hasn’t ordered their Christmas cards and want to, the site with 50% is Vistaprint Best Deal Ever .  They offer free shipping to which is really nice.  I’ll be sure to post a picture of my holiday cards as soon as they arrive.
