is what I love the most about the holiday season. Which is one of the reasons that this time of the year was a great time for me to start introducing giveaways on my blog. A venture that I hope will just keep getting better.
I have many songs that I love to hear during this time of year. From sentimental, heartfelt songs like Silent Night to the fun and excitement of Santa Claus is Coming to Town.
Here are a few songs that are looping through my iPod (and their Artist). I hope that you will give them a try and then I will share the lyrics of my favourite song.
- Santa on the Rooftop – Trisha Yearwood
- I Have a Little Driedel – Barenaked Ladies
- Leroy The Redneck Reindeer – Joe Diffie
Take a Walk Through Bethlehem – Ray Vega
The city’s decorated up for Christmas
All the stores are open late tonight
People hurry through the frozen streets
I take a walk
Every child has a thousand wishes
Every window has a thousand lights
Every soul has a need for peace
I take a walk
There’s a star that still outshines the night
You can find it if you close your eyes
And see the light
Take a walk through Bethlehem
Come and kneel before the Lamb
Good news for every man
Walk though Bethlehem
Every night another tv special
Merchants counting down the shopping days
But something’s missing underneath the tree
I take a walk
‘Cause every heart longs for more than tinsel
Something more than just a holiday
Come and celebrate the baby King
Let’s take a walk
You don’t have to travel anywhere
Faith and hope and love will bring you there
Bring you there
Take a walk (take a walk) through Bethlehem
Come and kneel (come and kneel) before the Lamb
Good news for every man
Walk though Bethlehem
Take a walk (take a walk) through Bethlehem
Come and kneel (come and kneel) before the Lamb
Good news (good news) for every man
Walk though Bethlehem
Take a walk (take a walk) through Bethlehem
Come and kneel (come and kneel) before the Lamb
Good news for every man
Walk though Bethlehem
Take a walk (take a walk) through Bethlehem
Come and kneel (come and kneel) before the Lamb
Good news (good news) for every man
Walk though Bethlehem
Take a walk (take a walk) through Bethlehem
Come and kneel (come and kneel) before the Lamb
Good news (good news) for every man
Walk though Bethlehem

just a bit of family trivia for you 🙂
Your Uncle Red’s all time favorite Christmas time tune
PRETTY PAPER
sung by Roby Orbison
Written by Roy Orbison – 1963
& Willie Nelson – 1979
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write “I love you”
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won’t pass him by
Should you stop?, better not, much too busy
You’re in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write “I love you”
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
and if you happened to notice my comment on Trisha’s facepage about the homeless fella, Uncle Red says that every time he hears this song it still reminds him of “Beans”
Congrats Denise!
congratulations to Denise….
and I never heard that song “Take a Walk Through Bethlehem” but because we live in Bethlehem , PA…I will be downloading, I like the lyrics. 🙂
I have a couple favorite Christmas songs…
“The Ballad of the Christmas Donkey”
“Sleigh Ride”

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by BNL 🙂
