Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Lyrics Only)

[Intro]

Christmas future is far away

Christmas past is past

Christmas present is here to stay

Bringing joy that would last

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

From now on your troubles will be miles away

[Chorus]

Here we are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together

And if the fate allows

Hang a shining star upon the highest bow

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

[Ending]

Merry Christmas!

Poem ~ The Animated Christmas Card ~ by PGA

This picture was drawn by Jacquie Lawson.
The Snow Dog is the white one on the left.

Someone sent me this Animated Christmas Card

And You may have received it as well

But here's a poem that I have created,

That describes the story it tells

First you'll see, a Christmas Envelope 

with a Pictured Christmas Wreath on a Christmas Stamp

Then it shows a Christmas Village

Pictured mostly green, with an unlighted lamp.

You light the lamp, and the homes light up too

So nice an warm, it attracts the people

A dog walks in the scene, to play in the snow

You play with the dog, and he begins the show

The dog plays a big snow ball

and invites you to play with it too

You'd think it'll build a snowman

but that's what it did NOT do

The dog has built a Snow-Dog, 

it's so stiff it needs your magic

You touched the snow dog, it comes to life...

Wow! How did you do it?

.

This is the lovely Snow Dog by Jacquie Lawson

Note: This is NOT the actual Snow Dog 
by Jacquie Lawson, just another 
one I found on the internet

.

The dogs are now looking into sky

What are they looking at?

They're looking at a bright twinkling star

Which is just above their heads

When you touch the star as prompted

It drops a sleigh full of gifts

And then it creates a Christmas Tree

With lights on every leaf

You touched the sky for snow...

Snow falls... Wow! Merry Christmas!

An Animated Christmas Card

About
Jacquie Lawson

http://www.jacquielawson.com/

Back in the year 2000, Jacquie Lawson, an English artist living in the picturesque village of Lurgashall in Southern England, created an animated Christmas card featuring her dog and cats, and her 15th-century cottage, and sent it to a few friends for their amusement. Those friends sent the e-card to others, and within weeks Jacquie was inundated with requests from all over the world to design more e-cards. In February 2002 she teamed up with a few friends and family members to create jacquielawson.com.

Over the years the collection has grown to a current total of 165 e-cards, each one showing a degree of artistry and attention to detail rarely seen in the medium of e-cards. Even the music is composed and arranged specially for each card! We now have a range of birthday cards, Christmas cards, thank you cards, and so on, featuring dogs, cats, teddy bears, flowers, and many other subjects.

A modest yearly membership fee gives you access to the entire range of e-cards and allows you to send as many greetings as you like. You can even get a further discount by joining for two years!

We hope you enjoy browsing our e-cards, and if you're not already a member, we hope you will consider joining us and sharing Jacquie's delightful animations with your friends and family.

Behind the Scenes

Each card we make takes anything from a few weeks to several months to complete. Many of the elements of the animation are actually painted by hand (using real paint, brushes and paper!) because the textures and colours achieved that way are so much more attractive than the electronic equivalent. These paintings are then scanned into electronic form, and the laborious process of animation starts. Finally, the music is created to accent or complement the animation.

Every few weeks we'll be giving you a more detailed insight into what the team has been up to. Click here to see the latest news!

All Jacquie's cards use Adobe Flash. Be sure of trouble-free viewing by downloading the latest version now! It's free of charge and only takes a minute or two to install. Click here to install it now.

There's A Christmas Carol Of Love (Lyrics)

.
I found this song on YouTube where the Bass Singer goes down until his limit. Quite fun to do. Lyrics are below this Video.

I can hardly pick up what the Emcee is saying but it sounds like the Emcee introducing the Bass-Singer as Dr. Cecil Taylor Head of Christian Studies Department.

There's A Christmas Carol Of Love (Lyrics)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4NrhoYeVa8

[Verse Intro]
Every Christmas day, children sing on their way
Christmas Carols (Christmas Carols) of Perfect Love
As They sing Merrily, standing round the Christmas Tree
Christmas Carols (Christmas Carols) of Perfect Love

[Chorus]
There's a Chris... (A Merry Chris...)
...tmas Carol of love (A Merry, Merry Christmas)
Spreading joy (This Christmas Carol)
from heaven above (from heaven above)
Angels sing (Just hear them singing)
Hear the bells ring (They are all ringing)
Christmas Carols (Christmas Carols) of Perfect Love

[Repeat Chorus until the song is to low for choir to sing]

Here's an update ~ 2010 Jul 06, 2349hrs:
I found out that there's another song with the same tune but has the same format of getting the Bass to go very, very low, it is called 'There's A Rainbow'. At the moment, I don't know which version is the original but the good thing is that, now, we have 2 versions.

Here're some versions of 'There's A Rainbow' on YouTube:

Joke - Christmas Carols (RA Disguised)

Note: This joke is considered a “Dirty Joke” but the innocent ones (children) will not get it so this can be told freely.

Joke ~ CHRISTMAS CAROLS (RA Disguised)

A few days before Christmas, a man enters a pet store looking for a unique gift for his wife. The store manager tells him he has just what he's looking for! A beautiful parrot named Chet that sings Christmas carols.

He brings the husband over to a colorful but quiet bird. The man agrees that Chet certainly is pretty, but he doesn't seem to be much for singing. The manager tells him to watch as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter.

The manager then clicks the lighter and holds it under Chet's left foot. Immediately Chet starts singing; "Silent Night, Holy Night." The husband is very impressed with Chet's singing abilities and watches as the manager moves the lighter underneath Chet's right foot.. Chet now starts to sing "Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way." The husband says Chet is perfect and that he'll take him.

The husband rushes home to his wife and insists upon giving her this wonderful gift immediately. He presents Chet and starts to explain the parrot's special talent.

Demonstrating, he holds a lighter under Chet's left foot and the bird sings "Silent Night." He then moves the lighter under the right foot and Chet lets loose a round of "Jingle Bells." The wife is absolutely impressed, and with a mischievous grin asks her husband what happens if he holds the lighter between Chet's legs instead.

Curious the husband moves the lighter between the bird's legs, and the bird begins to sing: "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire!"
