fRoSTY THE SNowmaN

awaY IN a maNGER away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.The stars in the bright 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 skyand 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.

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

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

Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump

Look at frosty go Thumpety thump thump thumpety thump thump over the hills of snow

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 tsp of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 cups white sugar

4 eggs, at room temperature


2 tablespoons lemon zest

1 cup whole milk, divided

2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided

LEmoN CREam ICING

2 cups chilled heavy cream

3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juiceLEmoN CUPCaKES

DIRECTIoNS:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 30 cupcake pan cups with

paper liners. Sift the self-rising flour and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl,

beat the unsalted butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat

in the eggs one at a time, beating each egg until incorporated before adding the

next. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest. Gently beat the flour mixture into

the butter mixture, one third at a time, alternating with half the milk and half the

lemon juice after each of the first 2 additions of flour. Beat until just combined; do

not over mix. Fill the prepared cupcake liners with batter 3/4 full, and bake in the

preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17

minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before

removing them to finish cooling on a rack.

To make the icing, beat the cream in a chilled bowl with an electric

mixer set on Low until the cream begins to thicken. Add the

confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice, a little at a time, beating after

each addition, until fully incorporated. Increase the mixer speed to

High, and beat until the icing forms soft peaks, about 5 minutes.

Spread on the cooled cupcakes. Refrigerate leftovers.

God rest ye merry, gentlemenLet nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our Saviourwas 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

In Bethlehem, in Israel,This blessed Babe was bornand laid within a mangerUpon this blessed morn

The which His mother maryDid nothing take in scorn



from God our Heavenly fathera blessed angel came;

and unto certain ShepherdsBrought tidings 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 Saviourof a pure virgin bright,

To free all those who trust in Him

GoD REST YE mERRY GENTLEmENfrom Satan’s power and might.”



The shepherds at those tidingsRejoiced much in mind,

and left their fl ocks a-feedingIn tempest, storm and wind:

and went to Bethlehem straightwayThe Son of God to fi nd.



and when they came to Bethlehemwhere our dear Saviour lay,

They found Him in a manger,where oxen feed on hay;

His mother mary kneeling down,Unto the Lord did pray.



Now to the Lord sing praises,all you within this place,

and with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace;

This holy tide of Christmasall other doth deface.

IT’S BEGINNING To LooK a LoT LIKE CHRISTmaS

It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEv’rywhere you go;

Take a look in the fi ve and ten glistening once againwith candy canes and silver lanes aglow.It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in ev’ry storeBut 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 shootsIs the wish of Barney and Ben;

Dolls that will talk and will go for a walkIs 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 singRight within your heart


I saw three ships come sailing inon Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

I saw three ships come sailing inon Christmas Day in the morning.

and what was in those ships all three,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?and what was in those ships all three,

on Christmas Day in the morning?

The virgin mary and Christ were there,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;The virgin mary and Christ were there,

on Christmas Day in the morning.

Pray, wither sailed those ships all three,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Pray, wither sailed those ships all three,on Christmas Day in the morning?

o they sailed into Bethlehem,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

o they sailed into Bethlehem,on Christmas Day in the morning.

I Saw THREE SHIPS ComE SaILING IN

and all the bells on earth shall ring,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;and all the bells on earth shall ring,on Christmas Day in the morning.

and all the angels in Heaven shall sing,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

and all the angels in Heaven shall sing,on Christmas Day in the morning.

and all the souls on earth shall sing,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;and all the souls on earth shall sing,on Christmas Day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice again,on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Then let us all rejoice again,on Christmas Day in the morning.

above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting Light

and praises sing to God the Kingand Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silentlyThe wondrous gift is given!

So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of His heaven.No ear may hear His coming,

But in this world of sin,where meek souls will receive him still,

The dear Christ enters in.

See amid the winter’s snow, born for us on earth below,

see the tender Lamb appears, promised from eternal years. Hail, thou ever blessed morn;

hail, redemption’s happy dawn; sing through all Jerusalem.

Lo, within a manger lies he who built the starry skies,

he who throned in height sublime sits amid the cherubim.

Say, ye holy shepherds, say what your joyful news today;

wherefore have ye left your sheep on the lonely mountain steep?

‘as we watched at dead of night, lo, we saw a wondrous light;

angels singing ‘Peace on earth’ told us of the Saviour’s birth’.

Sacred infant, all divine, what a mighty love was thine,

thus to come from highest bliss down to such a world as this! Hail, thou ever blessed morn;

hail, redemption’s happy dawn; sing through all Jerusalem

THE fIRST NoELThe first Noel, the angels did saywas to certain poor shepherds in

fi elds as they layIn fi elds where they lay keeping their sheepon 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 starShining in the East beyond them farand 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 starThree wise men came from country far

To seek for a King was their intentand to follow the star wherever it went.


This star drew nigh to the northwesto’er Bethlehem it took its rest

and there it did both Pause and stayRight o’er the place where Jesus lay.


Then entered in those wise men threefull reverently upon their knee

and offered there in His presenceTheir gold and myrrh and frankincense.


Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made Heaven and earth of noughtand with his blood mankind has bought.
