A virtual Christmas Card of Merry Christmas Greetings e-Tidings to one and all.

Christmas time evokes such pleasant memories of bygone years spent celebrating with family and friends.  I remember those years of waiting down the basement of our Cleveland home, with my parents and grandparents, whilst Santa Claus delivered the presents for us kids.  It was amazing that he seemed to "get" my list and would usually bring just the right gift.  Equally amazing was how our parents instinctively "knew" which present Santa meant for each of us!

It's the Christmas music along with the decorations that help to bring back some of these fond memories.  So, I thought I'd put together this lens to share a couple of the tunes that get me into the season's spirit.  I hope you enjoy these Christmas Greetings and have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!  And, to all, a good night!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,

Right down Santa Claus Lane.

Xmas bell Bells are ringing, children singing,

All is merry and bright.

Hang your stockings and say a prayer,Xmas sock




'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.



Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,

Riding down Santa Claus Lane.



He's got a bag that's filled with toys

Ssshh Santa

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,

What a beautiful sight.

Jump in bed and cover up your head,

Because Santa Claus comes tonight.

Jolly Santa

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,

Riding down Santa Claus Lane.



He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy,

He loves you just the same.


Santa's List

Santa knows that we're God's children,

That makes everything right.

Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer,

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Ho Ho Ho



Well, here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,

Riding down Santa Claus Lane.



He'll come around when the chimes ring out

It's Christmas morn again.

Peace on Earth will come to all

If we just follow the light


Xmas Lights



Let's give thanks to the Lord above,

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here Comes Santa...

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Sleigh Ride ... 

More pleasant and delightful Christmas Greetings!


Oh yes...it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you...dah dah dee dah dah...


...a sleigh ride together with you...

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing

Ring ting tingle-ing too

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you


Outside the snow is falling

And friends are calling "You Hoo"

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you


Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap

let's go

Let's look at the snow

We're riding in a wonderland of snow




Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand

Just holding your hand

We're gliding along with the song

Of a wintry fairy land


Our cheeks are nice and rosy

And comfy cozy are we

We're snuggled up together like two

Birds of a feather would be


Let's take the road before us

And sing a chorus or two

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you


There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray

It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day

We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop

At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop

Pop! Pop! Pop!


There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy

When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie

It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives

These wonderful things are the things

We remember all through our lives


...a sleigh ride together with you...

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer! 

Whimsical and delightful Christmas Greetings!

This is a fictional, humorous Christmas story. References to any person living or dead are purely coincidental.







Grandma makin' tracks...


Grandma got run over by a
reindeer,


Oh Oh Rudolph

Poor grandma Coming home from our house Christmas Eve



You can say there's no such thing as Santa, Ho Ho Santa


But as for me and Grandpa we
believe

She'd been drinking too much eggnog,

And we begged her not to go

But she forgot her medication,

So she staggered out the door into the snow


Sorry, grandma

When we found her Christmas morning,

At the scene of the attack




There were hoove marks on her forehead,


Grandma makin' tracks...

And incriminating claw marks on her back


Darn buzzards

Grandma got run over by a
reindeer,

Coming home from our house Christmas Eve


Oh Oh there goes Santa

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,

Cooked goose

And the pudding made of fig


And the blue and silver candles,

That would just have matched the hair in grandmas wig

It's not Christmas without Grandma,

All the relatives dressed in black

And we cannot help but wonder,

Don't know what to do




Should we open up the gifts or send them back



Grandma got run over by a
reindeer,Oh Oh Rudolph


Ah grandmaComing home from our house Christmas Eve

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,


Hey Santa

But as for me and Grandpa we
believe !

Twelve Days of Christmas ... 

12 days of delightful Christmas Greetings!

The Twelve Days of Christmas, and the associated evenings of those twelve days (Twelve-tide), are the festive days beginning on Christmas Day (December 25) through to the evening of the Twelfth Day of Christmas, (January 5). Thus, the first night of Christmas is December 25?26 and Twelfth Night is January 5-6. This period is also known as Christmastide. The day after Twelfth Night is Epiphany on January 6.

Over the centuries, differing churches and sects of Christianity have changed the actual traditions, time frame and their interpretations. St. Stephen's Day (or Boxing Day), for example, is December 26 in the Western Church and December 27 in the Eastern Church. Boxing Day, the first weekday after Christmas, is observed as a legal holiday in parts of the Commonwealth of Nations and was traditionally marked by the giving of Christmas boxes to service workers (such as postal workers and trades people) in the United Kingdom; December 28 is Childermas or the Feast of the Innocents. Currently, the 12 days and nights are celebrated in widely varying ways around the world. For example, some give gifts only on Christmas Night, some only on Twelfth Night and some each of the 12 nights.

Rest assured that Santa Claus will be arriving this year ... 

Thanks to NORAD tracking!

The NORAD Tracks Santa Web site is the newest version of a public relations program by NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, involving the countries of Canada and the United States. Every year for over fifty years on Christmas Eve, NORAD has put out stories of how their powerful tracking systems, such as the Distant Early Warning Line (DEW Line), had detected Santa Claus leaving the North Pole to deliver his presents to children in North America, and in more recent years, around the world.

Merry Christmas Greetings to YOU and YOURS! 

May your Christmas be Merry ...

Merry Christmas Greeting to you and yours

Christmas is ... 

A time for sharing Christmas Greetings!

Christmas (), also referred to as Christmas Day, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.Christmas, Merriam-Webster. Retrieved October 6, 2008."Christmas," MSN Encarta. Retrieved October 6, 2008."Christmas", The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913. The day marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days. The nativity of Jesus, which is the basis for the anno Domini system of dating, is thought to have occurred between 7 and 2 BC.Smith, Mark D. "Of Jesus and Quirinius." Catholic Biblical Quarterly; Apr2000, Vol. 62 Issue 2, pp292-293.Pearson, Brook W. R. "The Lucan Censuses, Revisited." Catholic Biblical Quarterly; Apr99, Vol. 61 Issue 2, p282. December 25 is not known to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and the date may have been chosen to correspond with either a Roman festival"Christmas", EncartaRoll, Susan K., Toward the Origins of Christmas, (Peeters Publishers, 1995), p.130.Tighe, William J., "Calculating Christmas". or the winter solstice.Newton, Isaac, Observations on the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John (1733). Ch. XI.A sun connection is possible because Christians consider Jesus to be the "sun of righteousness" prophesied in Malachi 4:2.

Modern customs of the holiday include gift-giving, Church celebrations, and the display of various decorations?including the Christmas tree, lights, mistletoe, nativity scenes, and holly. Santa Claus (also referred to as Father Christmas, although the two figures have different origins) is a popular mythological figure often associated with bringing gifts at Christmas for children. Santa is generally believed to be the result of a syncretization between Saint Nicholas and elements from pagan Nordic and Christian mythology, and his modern appearance is believed to have originated in 19th century media.

Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. Because gift-giving and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, Christmas has become a major event for many retailers.
