What child is this?

What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Maryâ€™s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? (Chorus) This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Hast, 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. Chorus

May the timeless message of Christmas shine for you and your loved ones during this special time.

Go Tell It On The Mountain When I was a seeker I sought both night and day, I asked the Lord to help me, And he showed me the way. Chorus Go tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere, Go tell it on the mountain, Our Jesus Christ is born.

Irish Rovers Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas Eve. You can say there’s no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She’d been drinkin’ too much eggnog, And we’d begged her not to go. But she’d left her medication, So she stumbled out the door into the snow. When they found her Christmas mornin’, At the scene of the attack. There were hoof prints on her forehead, And incriminatin’ claw marks on her back. Chorus Grandma got run over by a reindeer, Walkin’ home from our house Christmas Eve You can say there’s no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. Now were all so proud of Grandpa, He’s been takin’ this so well. See him in there watchin’ football, Drinkin’ beer and playin’ cards with cousin Belle. It’s not Christmas without Grandma. All the family’s dressed in black. And we just can’t help but wonder Should we open up her gifts or send them back? Chorus Now the goose is on the table And the pudding made of fig. And a blue and silver candle, That would just have matched the hair in Grandma’s wig.

I’ve warned all my friends and neighbours Specializing in King Steak, Beef, Italian “Better watch out for yourselves.” Sausage and Lunch Meat. We cut wild game! They should never give a license, To a man who drives a sleigh and Rocky Mountain Meats Ltd. plays with elves.

Frosty The Snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around O Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me Thumpetty thump thump thumpetty thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpetty thump thump thumpetty thump thump Over the hills of snow Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away” Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square saying Catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!” For Frosty the Snowman, had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye, Sayin’ “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane snow is glistening, A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird, He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown, He’ll say, “Are you married?” We’ll say, “No man, But you can do the job When you’re in town.” Later on we’ll conspire, As we dream by the fire, To face unafraid, The plans that we’ve made, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he’s a circus clown, We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman, Until the kids will come and knock him down.

May health, happiness and good cheer fill your year! Cerry Larry Jodie Dillon Melissa

Riley

Kaytee Anna

When it snows ain’t it thrilling, Though your nose gets a chilling, We’ll frolic and play, The Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland.

O What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Now the ground is white Go it while you’re young Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay Two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you’ll take the lead Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way!

Lyrics by Mel Torme Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some Mistletoe help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all-aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa’s on his way He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies On his sleigh And every mother’s Child is gonna spy to see if Reindeer really know how to fly And so, I’m offering this Simple phrase to kids from One to ninety-two Although it’s been said many times Many ways, “Merry Christmas to you.”

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year hearing & audiology

Are hearing aids right for me? Discovering that you have a hearing loss and realizing that you may need to get hearing aids can be a confusing and stressful experience. Where to go, what to do, and how long will it take are all questions that can arise. However, the negative impact of this experience can be minimized if the right hearing healthcare professional is involved in the process. Approximately 10% of Canadians live with a hearing loss, but most do not seek professional help or treatment. This number is roughly equivalent to the population of Toronto and Vancouver combined! Although most hearing problems are associated with age, over half of all hearing impaired persons are under the age of 65 years. Hearing difficulties can be ‘invisible’ to the person involved. Most adults lose their hearing gradually and don’t realize that it is happening or the impact it has on their daily lives or how it is experienced by family members and friends. The symptoms of hearing loss may include any or all of the following signs: • Asking people to repeat often • Being able to hear, but not understand • Not being able to follow conversations • Difficulty hearing in background noise • Feelings of depression, anxiety or isolation • Strained personal and family relationships • Undue fatigue and stress • Avoidance of social situations There are many barriers to treatment and reasons why people do not seek help for their hearing loss. Often there are concerns about cost or a lack of knowledge about the true benefits of hearing aid technology. For some people, the perception of a negative stigma associated with hearing loss and or the cosmetic aspect prevent them from wearing hearing aids. Finally, in many cases there is considerable avoidance of confronting the issue and it can take several years for the person to be ready to do something about the hearing loss. Do I even need hearing aids? The first step in pursuing hearing aids is to have a full diagnostic hearing test by an Audiologist to determine if a hearing loss is present. This testing will indicate what kind of hearing loss is present. The most common type of hearing loss is ‘nerve deafness’ or sensorineural hearing loss which is not medically treatable. If you have this type of hearing loss, your Audiologist will discuss amplification with you in the form of hearing aids or other assistive listening devices based on both the degree of loss and your specific needs. If there is a history of noise exposure through work or military experience, then your Audiologist will initiate a WCB or Veteran’s claim. There are a several types of hearing loss that can be treated medically, and it is important that they be treated first, before you get hearing aids. If you do not have a hearing loss, or decide that you are not ready for hearing aids yet, there is no pressure put upon you. To wear hearing aids successfully, you must first be mentally prepared. So, I have a hearing loss and want to get hearing aids… If the testing shows that you do have a hearing loss and you want to get the process started, then your Audiologist will go over a range of options. Based on your hearing loss and more importantly, your specific hearing needs, a number of different options will be highlighted as well as the benefits and drawbacks for each. Advanced digital technology today has provided major breakthroughs in both style and quality of sound and has improved the lives of those who wear hearing aids. From the reduction of background noise to improvements in clarity of speech, hearing aids are becoming recognized as the most viable solution to improving the quality of life for those over the age of 65. Hearing aid styles vary, and not all are created equal. ‘Open fit’ hearing aids are the most discreet and natural sounding options available and can be fit on most people successfully. Open fit hearing aids eliminate the ‘head in a barrel’ sensation and are so comfortable that most users forget they are wearing hearing aids. Appropriately fit and programmed hearing aids or assistive listening devices can make a significant difference for those living with a hearing loss. With today’s technology, wearers report a significant improvement in their ability to hear in almost every situation. The most apparent benefits of wearing hearing aids are to be able to hear family and friends again, improved relationships, and a much more positive outlook on life including greater self-confidence. A knowledgeable hearing healthcare professional, or Audiologist, can provide you with the best that technology can offer based on your specific hearing needs. Critically, not everyone presents with the same needs, so it is important to focus on the precise listening situations and tailor make the solution that is right for each individual. Come with your questions—that helps us to determine the best hearing aids for you. We also recommend that you come with a familiar voice (spouse, child, friend, etc.) to assist in a practical demonstration of current hearing aid technology. If you decide to get hearing aids, the process has just begun. It can take several weeks to get used to new hearing aids, so close contact and follow up with your Audiologist is important to ensure success. We hope that this information proves helpful to you. If you have any questions, and are interested in taking the first step towards better hearing, please call us at 877-426-0079 or visit us in the Tamarack mall in Cranbrook, or at the Rocky Mountain Health Centre in Fernie. Our goal is quality hearing… for life!

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? (Chorus) This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Hast, 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. Chorus So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of king’s salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him. Chorus

Christmas Songbook 2012

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in ev’ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door. A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go

for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.

Christmas Songbook 2012

Mary’s Boy Child Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. And man will live forever more, because of Christmas Day. Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. Hark; now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live forever more, because of Christmas Day. Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day. While shepherds watch their flocks by night, They saw a bright new shining star, They hear a choir of angels sing, the music came from afar.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to our Customers!

Hark; now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live forever more, because of Christmas Day. Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night, They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight. And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn, And in a manger cold and dark, Mary’s little boy child was born. Hark; now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live forever more, because of Christmas Day. Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.

A White Christmas Irving Berlin 1942

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white. Repeat

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, Lean your ear this way! Donâ€™t you tell a single soul? What Iâ€™m going to say; Christmas Eve is coming soon, Now, you dear old man, Whisper what youâ€™ll bring to me; Tell me if you can. When the clock is striking twelve, When Iâ€™m fast asleep, Down the chimney broad and black, With your pack youâ€™ll creep; All the stocking you will find Hanging in a row; Mine will be the shortest one, Youâ€™ll be sure to know. Johnny wants a pair of skates; Suzy wants a doll Nellie wants a storybook; She thinks dolls are folly; As for me, my little brain Isnâ€™t very bright; Choose for me, old Santa Claus, What you think is right.

Sleigh Ride

Mitchell Parish, Leroy Anderson 1948

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you, Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling “Yoo hoo,” Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, let’s go, Let’s look at the show, We’re riding in a wonderland of snow. Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, it’s grand, Just holding your hand, We’re gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land. Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be Let’s take that road before us

and sing a chorus or two Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you. There’s a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It’ll be the perfect ending a perfect day We’ll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop, At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop! There’s a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy, When they pass around the chocolate and the pumpkin pie It’ll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives! Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,

There's Good, There's Better And Then There's

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. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the the East, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 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 it went. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. This star drew nigh 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. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon their knee; And offered there in his presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king, do you know what I know A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold.

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea.

Said the king to the people everywhere, listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere! listen to what I say The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light.

’Twas The Night Before Christmas A Visit From St. Nicholas Henry Livingston, 1808

With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; “Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen! On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!” As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

Christmas Songbook 2012

While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. Fear not, said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled minds; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, To you and all mankind. 2. To you in David's town this day, Is born of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, And this shall be the sign: The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed. All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid. 3. Thus spake the seraph - and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, and thus Addressed their joyful song: All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from Heaven to men Begin, and never cease!

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night. She didn’t see me creep down the stairs to have a peep; She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep. Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white; Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you; I’ll be so blue thinking about you. Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Won’t mean a thing if you’re not here with me I’ll have a blue Christmas, that’s certain; And when that blue heartache starts hurting, You’ll be doing all right with your Christmas of white, But I’ll have a blue, blue Christmas.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder 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 could 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, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, “You’ll go down in history.”

An early pagan winter celebration of ringing of the bells to drive out evil spirits. Later the tradition began to ring bells on Christmas Eve to welcome in the spirit of Christmas with joyful noise. In Norway bells are still rang through out the country on Christmas Eve at 5pm. In Yorkshire, England on Christmas Eve, the bell is rung once for each year that has passed since the birth of Christ. {I couldn’t resist adding the following: In Medieval times, people believed that ringing church bells would get rid of lightning during thunderstorms. It was an unfortunate superstition for bell ringer. In 33 years lightning stuck 386 church steeples and 103 bell ringers died.}

Every body stops and stares at me These two teeth are gone as you can see I don’t know just who to blame for this catastrophe! But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be! All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth! Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,

then I could wish you “Merry Christmas.” It seems so long since I could say, “Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!” Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle (thhhh) All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth. Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you “Merry Christmas!”

it’s Christmas

Christmas Songbook 2012 36 God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen God rest ye merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas day, To save us all from Satan’s pow’r When we were gone astray;

“Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Savior, Of virtue, power, and might; So frequently to vanquish all The friends of Satan quite”;

Whereat this infant lay They found him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling, Unto the Lord did pray:

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:

The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a-feeding, In tempest, storm, and wind, And went to Bethlehem straightway This blessed babe to find:

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 All others doth efface:

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

“Fear not,” then said the angel,

But when to Bethlehem they came,

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.

Up on the Housetop B.R.Hanby

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 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

Let It Snow

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I brought some corn for popping; The lights are turned way down low, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. When we finally say good night, How I'll hate going out in the storm; But if you really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing, But as long as you love me so. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Traditional Roast Turkey

A 13-15 lb. (6-7 kg) turkey serves 6

• 1 turkey, with giblets • 1 onion, coarsely chopped • A sprig of thyme • 1 bay leaf • 4 oz. (113 g) salted butter • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Lemon and Herb stuffing • 2 eggs • 4 oz. plus 1 tablespoon (130 g) butter, melted • A handful of fresh parsley leaves • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) chopped fresh lemon thyme • Freshly grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon • 4 1/2 cups (1.08 litres) fresh white bread crumbs • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Chestnut stuffing • 14 oz. (392 g) fresh chestnuts • 1 cup (240 ml) milk • 4 oz. (112 g) sausages or sausage meat • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil • 6 oz. (168 g) turkey liver, chopped • 1 onion, chopped • 2 oz. (56 g) fatty bacon, finely chopped • 1 tablespoon (30 ml) chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or marjoram • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Lemon and herb stuffing: put the eggs, butter, parsley, lemon thyme, and lemon zest and juice in a food processor and blend to a smooth purée. Put the bread crumbs in a bowl, pour over the egg mixture, and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chestnut stuffing: cook fresh chestnuts in a saucepan of boiling water for about 3 minutes to soften the shells. Peel them while still hot, wearing rubber gloves. Put the peeled fresh chestnuts in a saucepan, cover them with the milk, and simmer gently until softened, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how fresh they are. Strain them if necessary, then weigh out 7 oz. (196 g) and put in a bowl. Crumble the cooked chestnuts with your fingers and use the sausage meat to bind them. Heat the oil in a skillet, add onion, liver, and bacon and fry gently until the liver is firm. Stir in the parsley and cook until the mixture begins to brown. Add to the chestnuts with some salt and pepper. Turkey: to make a stock, the day before put the giblets, minus the liver but with the neck chopped in half, in saucepan. Add the onion, thyme, and bay leaf, cover with water and bring to a boil, removing any foam. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours, then strain. Taste and, if necessary, simmer for a little longer to reduce and strengthen the flavour. The next day, wipe out the neck area and cavity of the turkey with a damp cloth and lightly season the inside with salt and pepper. Spoon the lemon and herb stuffing into the body cavity and the chestnut stuffing into the neck cavity, allowing plenty of room for them to expand. This is particularly important for the neck stuffing.

Put half the butter in a saucepan and melt gently. Spread the remaining butter all over the skin of the turkey. Soak the cheesecloth in the melted butter and drape over the bird, with a double layer covering the drumsticks. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Put the bird in a large roasting pan in the middle of the oven. Roast for the calculated time according to size, except that the oven temperature must be raised to 400°F (200°C) and the cheesecloth covering removed for the last 30 minutes in order to crisp the skin. Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a tent of aluminum foil, and leave in a warm place to rest while you prepare your side dishes. Using oven mitts, tip out any free juices from the cavity, then lift the turkey onto a serving platter. Pour off the turkey juices from the pan, preferably into a gravy separator or pitcher to be able to lift off the fat, then reheat with the seasoned stock. Serve as is or for a traditional gravy, pour juices into a pan, thicken with a small amount of flour and cook well, stirring to prevent burning. Reserve extra gravy in a Thermos for second helpings. Serve with roasted potatoes, roasted parsnips, candied yams, bacon rolls, cranberry relish, and Brussels sprouts.

Christmas Songbook 2012 The Birthplace of Jesus

It was prophesied in Micah 5:2 that Bethlehem would be the birthplace of the future King of the Jews. Indeed, this small Judean city near Jerusalem became the site of the Nativity. Bethlehem, which means “house of bread,” was also the home of David, one of God’s favorite kings. Enhance your Christmas trivia knowledge: Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger. Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger. Though the exact location of Jesus’ birth is unknown, the story maintains that Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger, or food trough. In those days, stables were made of stones or situated in a cave. Around A.D. 326-330, Empress Helena, wife of Constantine, built a church over the cave thought to be Jesus’ birthplace. The church was rebuilt in the sixth century, and pieces of the original building still remain. It is said to be the oldest Christian church in existence and one of the most genuinely holy sites in the Holy Land. This altar inside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is believed to mark the exact place of Jesus’ birth.

Oh Holy Night Words by Chappeau de Roquemaure Translated by J.S. Dwight

Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appear’d and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine Led by the light of Faith serenely

beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming Here come the wise men from Orient land The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our friend. Truly He taught us to love one another His law is love and His gospel is peace Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name.

May this Holiday Season be filled With happiness in all that you do And may this joy continue The whole year through. From our families to yours, Wishing you the best of the holiday season.

Immediately remove from heat; let cool to lukewarm, 110°F (43°C), without stirring. Using wooden spoon, beat in butter and vanilla, beating until very thick and no longer shiny. Quickly stir in nuts. Spread in greased 8-inch (2 l) square cake pan. Tip: If fudge sets too quickly before spreading in pan, reheat gently over low heat just until soft enough to spread. Glaze: Melt together chocolate chips and butter. Drizzle over fudge. Score into 1-inch (2.5 cm) squares while warm; let cool completely and cut into squares.
