It came upon a Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heaven’s all-gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O’er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o’er its Babel-sounds
The blessed angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold.
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Angels we have heard on high
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plain,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain.
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Oh little town of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem,How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee to-night.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.O morning stars, togetherProclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,And peace to men on earth.
\How silently, how silently,The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of his heaven.No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in.
O holy Child of Bethlehem!Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angelsThe great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,Our Lord Emmanuel!
We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star.
ChorusO star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign.
(Chorus)
Frankincense to offer have I. Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising, Worship Him, God most high.
(Chorus)
Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in a stone-cold tomb.
(Chorus)
Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia! Sounds through the earth and skies.
(Chorus)

The First Noel
The first Noel, the angel did say,Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields as they lay;In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
RefrainNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a starShining in the East, beyond them far;And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.Refrain
And by the light of that same star,Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever itwent.
Refrain
This star drew night to the northwest,O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Refrain
Then entered in those wise men three,Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there in his presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
The Hollyand the Ivy
The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown:
RefrainO, the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer;The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flow'r,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our dear Saviour.
Refrain
The holly bears a berry As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good.
Refrain
The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas Day in the morn.
Refrain
The holly bears a bark As bitter as the gall,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all.
Refrain
The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown, Of all trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown.Refrain

Joy to the World
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing, and heaven,
and heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains;
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessing flow;
far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found, Far as,
far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love, and wonders,
wonders of His love.
God Rest you Merry Gentlemen
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay, Remember
Christ our Savior Was born on ChristmasDay;
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
Refrain
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy!
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds Brought
tidings of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
Refrain
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace.

Away in a mangerAway in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the skyAnd stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever, and love me, I pray;
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
What Child is this?What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Refrain This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary.
Why lies he in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here, The silent Word is pleading.

Good King Wenceslas
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feast of Stephen,
when the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel,
when a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel.
“Hither, page, and stand by me. If thou knowst it telling:
yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?”
"Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain,
right against the forest fence by Saint Agnes fountain.”
“Bring me flesh, and bring me wine. Bring me pine logs hither.
Thou and I will see him dine when we bear them thither.”
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together
through the rude wind's wild lament and the bitter weather.
“Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger.
Fails my heart, I know not how. I can go no longer."
“Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shalt find the winter's rage freeze thy blood less coldly.”
In his master's step he trod, where the snow lay dented.
Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing,
ye who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.

Once in Royal David’s City
Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle-shed,
Where a mother laid her BabyIn a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,Jesus Christ her little child.
He came down to earth from heaven,Who is God and Lord of all,And His shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall;With the poor, the meek, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
And, through all His wondrous childhoodHe would honor, and obey,
Love, and watch the lowly maidenIn whose gentle arms He lay;Christian children all must beMild, obedient, good as He.
For He is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,Tears and smiles like us He knew:
And he feeleth for our sadness,And he shareth in our gladness.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,Through His own redeeming love;For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;And He leads His children onTo the place where He is gone.
I have a little Dreidel
I have a little dreidelI made it out of clay,
And when it’s dry and readyThen dreidel I shall play.
ChorusO dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay,And when it’s dry and ready
Then dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely bodyWith legs so short and thin,And when my dreidel’s tired
It drops and then I win.
Chorus
My dreidel’s always playfulIt loves to dance and spin,A happy game of dreidel
Come play now, let’s begin.

1 (1 1/2-lb) sourdough loaf, cut into 1/3-inch dice (18 cups)
1 lb coarsely chopped pancetta slices(about 3 cups)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
3 cups chopped celery (5 to 6 ribs) 4 cups chopped onions (2 large) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 3 (7- to 8-oz) jars peeled cooked whole
chestnuts, halved (4 cups) 3/4 lb pitted prunes (2 cups), quartered 5 cups turkey, heated to liquefy, or
reduced-sodium chicken broth (40 fl oz)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Special equipment: a 4-quart shallow ovenproof baking dish (15 x 10 x 2”)
Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
Scatter bread in a single layer in 2 large shallow baking pans (17 by 12
inches) and toast, stirring once or twice and switching position of pans halfway through baking, until golden and dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a very large bowl.
Cook pancetta in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Add butter and heat until melted, then add celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 12 minutes. Stir in sage, salt, and pepper and cook 1 minute. Add pancetta mixture along with chestnuts and prunes to bowl containing bread. Whisk together stock and eggs, then stir into bread mixture until combined well. Transfer to baking dish (stuffi ng will mound above dish).
Bake, loosely covered with a buttered sheet of foil (buttered side down) 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake until top is browned, 10 to 15 minutes more.
Remove from Oven, let rest for 10 mins. Serve.
1 boneless leg of lamb (approx 1-2 pounds)
3/4 cup Crown Royal whiskey1/4 cup fancy molasses1/2 cup beef stock8-10 pieces dried apricot1-2 cloves garlic minced3-4 leaves fresh sage leaves2 lbs mixed root vegetables
(carrot, squash, parsnips, yams, etc)1/4 white onion1/4 cup brown sugar2 tablespoons olive oilsalt and pepper to taste
Slice apricots into thin strips and put into a bowl. Mince the garlic and onion; add half the garlic and onion to apricots, pour half the whiskey into the bowl, then add brown sugar and let sit for 30 minutes. Toss root vegetables in half the olive oil, rest of the garlic, and some salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes at 425°F.
While vegetables are roasting prepare the lamb, cut off any excess fat and connective
tissue (will make it tough). Sprinkle with salt and pepper all over. Drain apricots and reserve the liquid. Place apricots and sage leaves in center of leg and roll. Tie up leg with butcher cord or a skewer will work to hold it together. In a heavy skillet, that is oven safe, add oil and heat up on medium high heat. Place leg in pan and sear on all sides until browned. Pull out vegetables from oven and lower the temperature to 375-400°F. Add vegetables to pan. Add half the beef stock, remaining whiskey and half the molasses to pan and bring up to a boil and place into oven. Cook until desired doneness, 30-40 minutes for medium rare-medium. Once fi nished, place leg of lamb aside to rest, and strain liquid into a small pot and add rest of the beef stock, bring to a boil, and simmer until reduces by half. Slice lamb into portions and plate with chosen side and roasted vegetables, drizzle sauce over lamb and serve.
2 servings.

Way up in the sky, little lambDo you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the nightWith a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite.”
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy“Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boyDo you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the treesWith a voice as big as the the sea
With a voice as big as the the sea.”
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king“Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty kingDo you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the coldLet us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold.”
Said the king to the people everywhere“Listen to what I say

Christmastime, there’s no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the worldat Christmastime
But say a prayer, pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it’s hard, but when you’re having fun
There’s a world outside your window,
and it’s a world of dread and fearWhere the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tearsAnd the Christmas bells
that ring thereare the clanging chimes of doomWell tonight thank God it’s them
instead of you
And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life(Oooh)
Where nothing ever growsNo rain or rivers flow

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
You know Dasher and Dancer and
Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee (yippee)
“Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
you’ll go down in history.”
Oh come, all ye faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
born the King of angels;
Refrain
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
Refrain
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this
happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.
Refrain

Oh, there’s no place like
home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks
a travelin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific
Oh there’s no place like home
For the holidays, ‘cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a
million ways
For the holidays, you can’t beat

Winter, it’s so excitingHearing sleigh bells
And watching candle lightingAnd we’re wishing
Joy to everyoneAs we go once more around the sun
There’s another year, fresh and clear, straight aheadLike a field of snow
All across the land there’s a brand-new beginning nowJust think of the things that could happen
Magic can be spunAnd we’ll watch the stars go whizzing by
As we go ’round the sun.
What could be more invitingSinging carols
And fam’lies reunitingAnd it’s laughter
Merriment and funAs we go once more around the sun
There’s another year, fresh and clear, straight aheadLike a field of snow
All across the land there’s a brand-new beginning nowJust think of the things that could happen
Hang on, everyone!And we’ll watch the stars go whizzing by
And it’s full speed ahead as through space we flyThe future has just begun
With eyes open wideOn this carousel ride
As we go ’round the sun.
As we go around the sun
