Salsa Recipe1 #10 can of whole peeled tomatoes (the big commercial size cans) or 4 of the regular sized cans if you can’t find the big one. 1 small onion 4-5 cloves of garlic (peeled) 1 bunch of cilantro (cut out as much stems as you can) 2 medium jalapenos (you can deseed them for less heat but I leave them in.) 2 tsp cumin

salt and pepper fresh lime juice (optional) Drain the juice from the tomatoes and set aside. Put the other ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until everything is finely chopped. Add in about 1/3 of the tomatoes and pulse until mixed thoroughly. Place into a large bowl. pulse the remaining tomatoes and mix into the bowl. Stir to combine. This makes a lot of salsa, so scale up or down accordingly. You can add more jalapenos depending on how hot you like it. Tomatoes absorb a lot of salt, so you may need to add more than you think, start small and you can always add more later. Being there are no preservatives in this, it will last about a week in the fridge. This recipe if followed makes enough for you and enough to give some out Richard Humphrey Irving, Texas

Silver BellsChristmas makes you feel emotionalIt may bring parties or thoughts devotionalWhatever happens or what may be,Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, busy sidewalksdressed in holiday style.In the air there’sa feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing,meeting smile after smile,And on every street corner you’ll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,It’s Christmas time in the city.Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,soon it will be Christmas day.

City street lights,even stop lights,blink a bright red and green,As the shoppers rush homewith their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch,see the kids bunch,This is Santa’s big scene,And above all this bustle you’ll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,It’s Christmas time in the city.Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,soon it will be Christmas day.


Silent NightSilent night, holy night!All is calm, all is bright.Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.Holy infant so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!Shepherds quake at the sight.Glories stream from heaven afarHeavenly hosts sing Alleluia,Christ the Savior is born!Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, holy night!Son of God love’s pure light.Radiant beams from Thy holy faceWith dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

Frosty the Snow ManFrosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,With a corncob pipe and a button noseand two eyes made out of coal.Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,He was made of snow but the childrenknow how he came to life one day.There must have been some magic in thatold silk hat they found.For when they placed it on his headhe began to dance around.O, Frosty the snowmanwas alive as he could be,And the children say he could laughand 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.Frosty the snowman knewthe sun was hot that day,So he said, “Let’s run andwe’ll have some funnow before I melt away.”Down to the village,with a broomstick in his hand,Running here and there allaround the square saying,Catch me if you can.He led them down the streets of townright to the traffic cop.And he only paused a moment whenhe heard him holler “Stop!”For Frosty the snow manhad 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.

All I Want for ChristmasAll 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.”

Away in the 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 in 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 sky

And 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 take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

God Rest You Merry Gentlemen God rest you merry, gentlemen,Let nothing you dismay,Remember Christ our SaviorWas born on Christmas Day;To save us all from Satan’s powerWhen we were gone astray.O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy!

From God our heavenly FatherA blessed angel came;And unto certain shepherdsBrought tiding of the same;How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by name.

“Fear not, then,” said the angel,“Let nothing you affright;This day is born a SaviorOf a pure virgin bright,To free all those who trust in himFrom Satan’s power and might.”

Now to the Lord sing praises,All you within this place,And with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace;this holy tide of ChristmasDoth bring redeeming grace.

Jingle BellsDashing through the snowIn a one-horse open sleighThrough the fields we goLaughing all the way.Bells on bob-tail ringMaking spirits brightWhat fun it is to ride and singA sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, O Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two agoI thought I’d take a rideAnd soon Miss Fanny BrightWas seated by my side;The horse was lean and lankMisfortune seemed his lot,We ran into a drifted bankAnd there we got upsot.A day or two agoThe story I must tellI went out on the snowAnd on my back I fell;A gent was riding byIn a one-horse open sleighHe laughed at me asI there sprawling laidBut quickly drove away.

Go it while you’re young,Take the girls alongAnd sing this sleighing song.Just bet a bob-tailed bay,Two-forty as his speed,Hitch him to an open sleighand crack! You’ll take the lead.


Rocking Around the Christmas TreeRocking around the Christmas Treeat the Christmas party hopMistletoe hung where you can seeEvery couple tries to stop

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hearvoices singing, “Let’s be jolly! Deck the halls with boughs of holly!”

Rocking around the Christmas TreeHave a happy holidayEveryone’s dancing merrilyIn the new old-fashioned way

Rocking around the Christmas TreeLet the Christmas Spirit ringLater we’ll have some pumpkin pieand we’ll do some caroling

O Christmas TreeO Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!How are thy leaves so verdant!O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,How are thy leaves so verdant!

Not only in the summertime,But even in winter is thy prime.O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,How are thy leaves so verdant!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Much pleasure doth thou bring me!O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

For every year the Christmas tree,Brings to us all both joy and glee.O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Thy candles shine out brightly!O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Thy candles shine out brightly!

Each bough doth hold its tiny light,That makes each toy to sparkle bright.O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Thy candles shine out brightly!

Blue ChristmasI’ll have a blue Christmaswithout 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.
