Órla Fallon: ...4...

All: ...go!

(Máiréad N starts playing her fiddle)

Me:
Has anybody heard of the Christmas spectacle?
Listen to what I think
When I was first born and all my senses developed
I saw that things are starting to blink
Mainly, I saw a decorated Christmas tree
To go with the wreath and the lights as you see
Of course, some lights can blink anytime
And I first saw Christmas presents set in prime

Chloë:
People make some food like fancy figgy pudding
To go with the sugarplums as a rare treat
I can't forget the time that Jesus was born
As all the sheep started to bleat

Lisa K:
And when the weather's cold
Squirrels can keep their nuts in their home trees
Frosty is a snowman made of Christmas snow
The red-nosed reindeer Rudolph can shine with ease

Me:
So we've got decorations with lights that shine

Chloë:
Icon characters like Frosty the Snowman

Lisa K:
And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Me, Chloë & Lisa K:
Together they're fine as parts of the Christmas spectacle

Méav:
What is a Christmas spectacle without the famous Santa Claus
Or the sacred nativity that Christians tend to know?
I say both are counted in for there is peace on earth
And while it's nighttime, I can see all the lights in the darkness glow

Órla:
This is how I gather the angels who can make a band
I play my harp and sing my heart as a double task from land
Some angels bring their instruments to play
Like harps to strike and bell to ring
And some just have the will in lots of jubilance to sing

Me (with Máiréad N's fiddle playing):
Christmas lights in all shapes, colors and sizes
That I have ever seen
I bet it's because of other people's ideas that even keep the trees green

Méav & Órla:
Snow can't be forgotten

Me:
Oh, I know some lights are artistically framed
By my taste of really fancy hot chocolate
More than 10 reindeer have been named
Gonna eat the warm foods when I'm cold

Chloë & Lisa K:
Sparkling the place with silver and gold

Chloë:
To extend the spectacle, cookies and cake

Méav:
And pies that people love to bake

Chloë, Lisa K, Méav & Órla:
All of these would make this spectacle unique

Me: Oh, yeah

Chloë, Lisa K, Méav & Órla:
For those who have good eyesight which they use to seek

All singers:
When there are downs that are strife
Positivity can fix a good life

Me:
And just as I've been thinking, there are two more things
The Christmas witch and the Roman emperor Constantine
I can't forget his legacy and she's a remarkable ally
For I believe in a very unique Christmas you have ever seen

(Chloë, Lisa K, Méav & Órla harmonizing)

Me:
I wish his spirit would see what it's like
To have a modern Christmas today
And even spirits can see the Christmas spectacle
Possibly complete in a

All singers:
Creative way

(Máiréad N's fiddle interlude)

Me, Chloë, Lisa K & Órla: Just ignite your heart

Méav: Hark and let the angels gather up

Me, Chloë, Lisa K & Órla: In the glittering twilight while the place snows

Méav: And sing out loud if you can

Me, Chloë, Lisa K & Órla:
We can sing and dance and play

Méav: Alleluia

Me, Chloë, Lisa K & Órla:
Cannot stop it night and day

All singers:
For the true light always glows

All (except Máiréad N who plays the fiddle along):
The true light always glows in the Christmas spectacle
Not one shining star to fade
You and me, we can all remain together for the spirit's been made
And that's the Christmas spectacle

[Kimberly AJ]

I made this song that tells everything about the Christmas spectacle but didn't mention the turkey, ham or cranberry sauce which are all parts of it. Can somebody tell me about this?

[Jim M.]

Turkey, ham and cranberry sauce.  Yumm!
Yes, Kim, the holiday season is a time for good food.  I also like mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, veggie and fruit salads, and the best -- pumpkin pie with Cool Whip on top.  I will pass on the fruitcake, although some are OK.

Are you making Christmas cookies again this year?

I hope you and everyone have a great holiday season.

[Kevin R.I.]

wish I could spend Christmas at Kimberly`s house 

[The Quiet Man]

Well, if I could add something to their Christmas repertory:

MC:

I believe in Santa Claus
Like I believe in love,
I believe in Santa Claus,
And everything he does.
There's no question in my mind
That he does exist!
Just like love, I know he's there,
Waiting to be missed!

Eabha: Seriously, you really still believe that?

Susan: Oh, don't scoff so much, Eabha.

Susan:

I believe in Santa Claus,
But there was a time
I though that I had grown to old
For such a childish rhyme.
He became a dream to me
Until one Christmas night,
Someone stood beside my bed...
Who had a beard of white!

Eabha: You saw Santa?

Susan: Mmhmm (nods)

Eabha: What was he like?

Susan:

So you're too old for Santa Claus?
He said with a smile
Are you too old for all the things
that make a life worthwhile?
For what is happiness but dreams,
And do they all come true?
Look at me and tell me now,
What is real to you?

All:

So believe in Santa Claus,
Like you believe in love,
Yes, believe in Santa Claus,
And everything he does!

Eabha:

I'll wipe the question from my mind,
Yes, he does exist!
Just like love, you know he's there,
Waiting to be missed!

All:

Just like love, you know he's there,
Waiting to be missed!
