Fifth December

IFTH

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.

~Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure


Write Write about a specific holiday song that has meaning to you.
Old Toy Trains - by Nana Mouskouri - from a tradition of my childhood, my Paternal Grandmother Nanna Jackson had this tradition, that after we had all opened our gifts, we had a big lunch and then there was always one more gift on the tree, but you had to perform and entertain to recieve it, from jokes to dances....we did them all, but this was my one that was the best and I remember it vividly as Nanna was a huge Nana Mouskouri fan, so for 6 months I practised so that I could sing this song - and it still brings tears to my eyes....

Old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?

Close your eyes
Listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells

Bringin' old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?

Close your eyes
Listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells

Bringin' old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?

Close your eyes
Listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells

Bringin' old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?
