Footnote Maven has invited us to go caroling! I am so excited! I haven't been caroling in years! As a matter of fact, it was 13 years ago in a small town called Inkom in Idaho.
So what do ya say? I am sure someone around here has a horse and wagon we can borrow, and I saw some hay bails down the street. You might want to bring your favorite Snuggie and don't forget your ear muffs; it's pretty windy out there. After we have caroled our hearts out, we can have the driver stop at Starbucks or the local pub for a hot toddy (majority rules). Who's with me?
Here's the song I want to sing:
Up On The Housetop
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
(this is where you snap your fingers)
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
Are you snapping your fingers?
Remember caroling in the neighborhood streets way back then.....? Mine was a group of kids from church and we would wander around our neighborhood caroling and freezing. It was great fun.
