All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth 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 be with 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!”
Best Wishes for 2015. Season’s Greetings and Many Thanks! from Mark and Nancy

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yule-tide gay, From now on, our troubles will be miles away. Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore. Faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more. Through the years we all will be together, if the Fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself a Merry little Christmas now.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year It's the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling, and everyone telling you, "Be of good cheer," It's the most wonderful time of the year. There'll be parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting and caroling out in the snow. there'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago. It's the most wonderful time of the year. There'll be much mistletoeing and hearts will be glowing, when loved ones are near. It's the most wonderful time of the year. www.northernsentinel.com www.northernsentinel.com

Sounds through the earth and skies. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect Light

Do You Hear What I Hear? Said the night wind to the little lamb, Do you see what I see? ‘Way up in the sky, little lamb, Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night, With 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 thru 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.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays
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.
Phil Germuth District of Kitimat - Mayor
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.
The gift of Love. The gift of Peace. The gift of Happiness.
I’ll Be Home For Christmas I’ll be home for Christmas You can count on me Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I’ll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams
May all these be yours. From everyone at

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.
Deck The Halls
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.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la. See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. While I tell of Yule tide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Oh Holy Night 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 appeared 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, Oh holy night, 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. He knows our need, He guardeth us from danger. Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend! 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.
The Christmas Song Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Warm wishes for a Happy Holiday and a New Year filled with all the best.
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. www.northernsentinel.com
Hope your holidays are bright!

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen God rest you 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; O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. But when to Bethlehem they came, Whereat this infant lay They found him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling, Unto the Lord did pray:
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:
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. 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 deface:
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy. “Fear not,” then said the angel, “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”;
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
ALL THINGS MERRY AND BRIGHT
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. 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:
The season is here, for friends and good cheer. Hearts light all around, and laughter abounds! Thank you for your patronage throughout 2013.

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, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
Holly Jolly Christmas Have a holly, jolly Christmas; It’s the best time of the year I don’t know if there’ll be snow, but have a cup of cheer. Have a holly, jolly Christmas; And when you walk down the street Say Hello to friends you know and everyone you meet.
Oh, ho, the mistletoe hung where you can see; Somebody waits for you; Kiss her once for me. Have a holly jolly Christmas, and in case you didn’t hear, Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year. Johnny Marks (c) 1962
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 snow man had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye saying, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.” Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow. Words and Music by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins, 1950 Chappell & Co. www.northernsentinel.com www.northernsentinel.com

Oh, Little Town of Bethleham O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light. The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim 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 hearts Kitimat Pentecostal Fellowship ALL ARE WELCOME The blessings of His heaven.

Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot; He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh A day or two ago, the story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh, He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! 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! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh

Away In A Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
The Night Before Christmas A Visit From St. Nicholas - Henry Livingston, 1808
‘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.
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.
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 Blixen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”
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.
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, with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof www.northernsentinel.com www.northernsentinel.com
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.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”
