Welcome message from the Mayor of Hume Welcome to another magical Christmas in Hume and to our wonderful Carols by Candlelight.

Tonight promises to be a cracker of an event, packed full of festive celebrations and wonderful entertainment for you to enjoy with your family and friends.

Christmas is a favourite time of year for many, including me, and I’m really pleased that Hume City Council is once again able to bring this celebration event into our community, uniting performers from around the country to welcome in the festive season with us all here.

This special event would not have been possible without our sponsors and partners, so thank you to Stockland Highlands, Henley, Coles, Barry Plant, Mirabella, Mantra Tullamarine and Yarra Valley Water.

Thank you also to tonight’s wonderful host, Charli Robinson, for taking us through our most loved carols and Christmas songs.

Finally I would also like to thank, on behalf of Hume City Council, all our fantastic performers, stallholders, sponsors and of course, all of you here tonight joining us in song at this special event. Hume is a great place to live and to see all the community united in song and spirit is a joyous occasion. Thank you for your loyal support throughout the year.

I look forward to seeing you out and about during this festive season. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, I’d like to wish you and your family a happy Christmas and all the very best for 2014.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, 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 kiss goodnight 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

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay a 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 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 the 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

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 top 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

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 he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in that old top hat they found

For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around

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”

Frosty the snowman Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye saying “Don’t you cry

i’ll be back again some day”
