Megan’s Wish List Item #5: Dining Room Chairs
Believe it or not – after 5 years of marriage and 7 years of “my own place” I never have gotten dining room chairs. We have a “nice” table (yeah know its ok – I’m thankful for it 😉 ) but we have old, broken (semi unsafe actually) chairs…. so for while I’m at this wishing game…I wish for new Chairs – and I’d be ok with just about anything – but something that looks something like these I think would be nice….I may have to start “Craigslist” shopping after Christmas …maybe I’ll find a deal.

Great! Thanks! LOVE YOUR SITE 🙂 Do you make all of these products? They look fabulous!
I think this is so fun. The only thing what would make it more fun is to WIN. LOL. Happy Holidays.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go…especially on Above Rubies!!!
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!
The song “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” has been in my mind for the last week. I keep find myself singing it when I’m working on projects and such. Jesus deserves all the glory and I pray that we all remember what Christmas is all about, and share the love!
hope you find the chairs you want! we went a very long time with mending chairs and everything else for years. it wasn’t until we became empty nesters tat we could get brand new furniture that wouldn’t get destroyed by my lil monkeys. thanks for sharing this season. i appreciate all that you do.
You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why; Santa Claus is coming to town.
Seven Cricuts A-Layering! La, La La!
LOVE it! LOL! 🙂
Fa la la la la … La la la laaaaaaaa!
I got most of my furniture at auctions and flea markets. You can pick up wonderful pieces for a reasonable price. We Three Kings of Orient Are is a favorite of mine. mostly because it was a favorite of my mothers
I”m dreaming of a White Christmas…her in Lower Ala….:)
Silent Night has always been one of my favorites.
oh holy night is one of my favorite song for Christmas.
White Christmas is my favorite song, plus themovie is really great to watch. Your not the only one that has a table and no chairs. But I’m not ready to seach yet. I’ll get there maybe by the Spring.
I love Christmas songs so its hard to pick a favorite. One song that I have a bunch of recordings of is Drummer Boy. Just something touching about how he gives Jesus what he can. Some times small gifts given from the heart are better than large gifts given out of obligation.
Up on the house top reindeer pause….out jumps dear ole Santa Clause…..down thru the chimney with lots of toys….all for the little one Christmas joys HOHOHO
I agree on chairs but would like to throw in a new table too:)
Congratulations winners. Such fun. I did think of one more thing that has been on my wish list. My 25th anniversary is in February. My husband and I live in the country in an old farmhouse from around 1850. We have remodeled the whole house and the only thing left, now, is the porch. This is what I would like to have finally done after 25 years of waiting. Don’t you all think that that is about long enough? HA HA–hubby does not think this is a priority. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
I hope you get all wishes granted!!! celebreate me home is my favorite christmas song
We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year. Oh, bring us a Rubby gift
Love your creative lyrics!
Silent Night, Holy Night, All is calm all is bright…. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I had to wait several years after getting married before getting a nice dining room set too 🙂 I was so bummed when DH and I were ready to start looking for an inexpensive set and my father-in-law showed up with one he found at a garage sale! Several years later we did purchase a table we choose but still have the garage sale model that will be going to my DS for his college apartment this year! lol The holiday song that always chokes me up, and always runs through my mind…I’ll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me, please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree, I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams…I always think of loved ones that must be away from family, especially those in uniform.
Oh christmas tree,oh christmas tree,lol,i cant sing but i can wish!!!I hope you get your dining room chairs soon!!!Thanks,sarah. sarajeank@yahoo.com
Why are you making this so hard to just pick 1 (lol)? Actually, I can’t. My family and I enjoy Christmas music and movies so much we celebrate Christmas in July by enjoying a 2nd dose of Christmas movies and music. One of my sisters and I used to have a sort of contest to see who had listened to Christmas music first . I am the forever winner now because I wake up to a dulcimer Christmas CD every morning and would you believe, at this moment, I can’t recall the song . . .
Megan, I can’t believe you have run most of this fun during the week you are getting ready for a special wedding. I think that’s part of the reason we love you and your family so much. I didn’t realize, until today, that, in 5 short years, you have married, had 2 children, launched a new business, and developed the number of products and videos that you have. WOW! Enjoy today!
It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old… Thanks for sharing with us. Merry Christmas to all!!
Mine this year would have to be “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”, because I actually am going home to Florida to spend it with my mom. Although hopefully there will be no snow!!!
Thanks for doing these awesome giveaways Megan!!
Santa Claus is coming to town. I just love Christmas. Thanks Megan
One of my favorite songs is Mary Did You Know Mary did you know that your boy will one day walk on water
Did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters
Hope your wish comes true and you get your chairs
I’m “rockin’ around the Christmas tree” this year!
My fav is Rockin around the Christmas Tree.You rock to Megan! Thanks for a chance to win.
Silent Night, Holy Night, all is clam all is birght… At this time of the year I’m singing them all.
Nat King Cole singing ” chestnuts roasting on an open fire ..”
Oh Daddy, just whose birthday is Christmas the Bible says that Jesus was born, Oh daddy please explain I had to ask because you hear so much about Satna Claus. (Statler Brother’s) I think we tend to forget exactly what this holiday is and sometimes a child says it best. So in this wishing game I hope you find some chairs. and on a childs level the package would be fun to recieve. Thanks Megan
O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. I think of this song often because He deserves our daily praise, and worship. Have a super fabulous blessed day!!!! Moira
I love the song Little Drummer Boy. It gives me the chills when I listen to it.
I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams. To my children, Dream well. I’ll miss you.
May you days be merry and bright, and may all your christmases be white.
It is awesome that you are doing this!
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
I have always loved this song, even when I was younger. Thanks for all you do for us Megan! You ROCK!!!!
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
voices singing “Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly”
Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone’s dancing merrily
In a new old fashioned way!
“I’ll be home for Christmas, no, I’ll never miss it. Christmas by the fireside with that family of mine.” ~ Roger Whittaker
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a partridge in a pear tree! I like the Straight No Chaser funny version of this song.
O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, on come ye, oh come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold him born the king of angels; o come let us adore him, o come let us adore him, o come let us adore him, Christ the Lord. I love this old English Christmas song when everybody sings at the top of their lungs at Carols by Candlelight on a balmy summer evening at the Domain overlooking Sydney harbour.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
This is the first Christmas song my 2-yr old daughter sang! 🙂
Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Oh the weather outside is frightful! Thanks for the chance to win!
favorite Christmas tune is Little Drummer Boy, so the best line from that is the reason for the season “so to honor Him”… altho gotta add the bit “Then he smiled at me – pa rum pum pum pummmmm – me & my drum” 🙂
I love Christmas music! I would say that one of my favorite songs is “Noel”. I just bought a new Christmas CD from a new recording star and she sings this song excellently. I love the reason we celebrate Christmas. I pray that here in America that we would stop trying to take Christ out of Christmas. I want to take this time to wish you and your family a very very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Since I have been decorating my house…
But the prettiest sight you’ll see is the holly that will be on your own front door.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas….
YAY!
*Sings* Walkin’ in a winter wonderland! This song was written in my town, so it’s my favorite.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy candles shine so brightly!
When I finish decorating my Christmas tree this song is one of my favourite’s to play while sitting back an admiring the lights & beauty of the finished product.
“I’ll be home for christmas…” thank you for the giveaway and have a wonderful holiday!
The one I sang in church last year:
Here’s all the lyrics because of how beautiful the whole song is:
Lyrics to Labor Of Love : written by Andrew Peterson (I left a link to his page)
It was not a silent night, There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry, In the alleyways that night
On the streets of David’s town
And the stable was not clean, And the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace, With the tears upon her face
Had no mother’s hand to hold
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
Noble Joseph at her side, Callused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found, In the streets of David’s town
In the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed, Shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb, He was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the faith
That could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
For little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
It was a labor of love
Cynthis,
That is a beautiful song. So appropriate for the Season. I think sometimes we forget about Mary, Mother of God. TFS

Grandma got run over by a raindeer. Walking home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there is no such thing as Santa, but as for me and grandpa we believe.
She’d been drinking too much egg nog, and we begged her not to go. But she forgot her medication as she stumbled out the door into the snow.
When we found her Christmas morning, at the scene of the attack, she had hoof prints on her forehead and incriminating claw marks on her back.
This is one of my favorites…. Going from memory!
Silent Night is my favorite. I even sang it to my daughter when she was a baby to help her fall asleep… and it wasn’t even Christmas time. Thanks for the “presents”!
I would have to choose O Holy NIght, although I have many favorites.
Ok for fun my favorite Christmas song is
Dominic the Donkey sung by Lou monti
Ay, jing- a- di-jing, hee haw hee haw
It’s Dominic the Donkey
Jing-a-di-jing, hee haw hee haw
The Italian Christmas donkey
It such a funny song
Maybe I secretly wish I was Italian!
You do not want me to sing! One of my favorites is Mary Did You Know…
I would love to win. The last time I won anything was about 25 years ago and I won $50.00 in the lottery. That was a thrill. So hope it’s time for me to, maybe, win a surprise gift from Megan Elizabeth. Once every 25 years would be great. Merry Christmas, Megan.

…and above all the bustle you hear- silver bells!
Breath of Heaven by Amy Grant is my all time favorite one to hear and to sing. My husband and I traditionally played this one every year for our Church until we changed churches now we just play it at home. A total favorite! But I really do love all the ones that are spiritual.
“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” A fun Christmas song is sung by Adam Sandler. : )
oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
This so funny. We had bought a table several years ago at an auction with no chairs. Last year Christmas morning, I was so excited about everyone opening up their gifts and having fun, that I did not realize that I was sitting on my present. Everyone started laughing when I asked if their was any other presents under the tree, because I did not want to say anything, but I had not opened any gifts. They told me I was sitting on it. Only then did I realize that I had 6 new chairs for my table sitting around the room. I do not know what I thought those people where sitting on or what I was sitting on for that matter. One Christmas memory I will alway cherish. Merry Christmas:)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Funny you say chairs. I asked for a table and chair set… I have my parents table and chairs.. For the last 20 plus years. Now that the kids are married, boyfriend, grandkids… There is not enough room for us all. 4 chairs… That is a great thing to wish for..
Petit papa Noël quand tu descendras du ciel avec tes jouets par millier, n’oublie pas mon petit soulier. Sorry it’s in french. But I really like this song since I was a little girl. Thanks for the chance and have a nice day.
“What Child is this?”… I love this song and play it all the time on the piano!
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas…..”
Thanks for the chance to win. This is a great time of the year. I love making Christmas presents and my Cricut is my favorite tool. It makes beautiful gifts.
Glory to God in the Highest, Peace, good will to men,
Angels announced His arrival, in the town of Bethelem,
Alleluia, sing it, He will save from sin,
Glory to God, Hallelujah to the Lord, Amen!
LOVE IT!
This is my grown up Christmas wish (or maybe list)
Lift up your heads
No need to mourn
His hand is stretched out still
For unto us a child is born
His promise to fulfill
Jerusalem! He cried for you
He did not come to us in vain
His loving arms are open wide for you
And he will come
He will come again
(Bethlehem Morning–Sandi Patti)
Oh Holy Night,I looked Away in Manger, and it Came (to me) Upon a Midnight Clear that this Silent Night brought us Joy to the World. It was asked What Child is This? Angels We have heard on High sang, Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel.
We wish you a Merry Christmas
(look at 2nd hand shops for good buys on DR chairs!)
OK, Megan, I will grant your wish… lots of rich people are going to be getting new furniture.. try freecycle
just check yahoo groups and join the freecycle by you! you will not believe the awesome stuff people GIVE away!!
Now, as far as singing goes, the outloud kind… I love the people around me tooo much to do that! if you heard me, you would understand!
“All I want for Christmas is a hippo…!”. I have two boys, and I secretly love this song:)
Let there be Peace on Earth. Just heard it performed at my grandsons (two of my four) and it gave greater meaning as sung by the high school choir. Christmas time used to be busy with my childrens’ programs but I go to all of my grandkids programs so it never ends……..its easier with grandchilden as you are not concerned about getting the Christmas clothes memorizing their parts or if they fidgeting during the performances. Merry Christmas and truly Peace on Earth to all.
What Child is this who lay to rest on Mary’s lap is sleeping
I love this song! Thanks for the chance to win!
“What Child is this,
who laid to rest,
on Mary’s lap is sleeping? ”
I love all the songs that tell of Christ our Savior’s birth which is why I celebrate Christmas!
Silver Bells, silver bells…..that has always been my most favorite Christmas song….it brings to mind the wonderful sights and sounds of the holiday. Many wishes of beautiful Christmas scenes to everyone.
My new favorite Christmas lyrics are those that I over heard my husband singing yesterday ” you better on shout you better not cry…….he’s shakin a list and checkin it twice. I was cracking up silently in the next room
Jingle bells, Jingle bells lol
Thanks
Oh how I love Chirstmas music 🙂 But my favorite song is sung many times throughout the year but whenit is sung at Christmas time it has a VERY special meaning. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday toyou dear Jesus, Happy BIrthday to you!! Oh how blessed we are that God sent His precious son!!!!
Just heard “Bethlehem Rhaphsody,” the story of Jesus’ birth to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody & I gotta say, is fabulous/delightful (YouTube video w/ puppets). Otherwise, while I love LOTS of Christmas songs, the “and He shall reign forever & ever! Hallelujah!” from Handel’s Messiah/Hallelujah Chorus makes me want to fall on my face in praise & brings tears & goosebumps of joy!!! Just sayin… 🙂
I’m dreaming of a white christmas… And then for it to melt and be seventy degrees the next day!
Oh Holy Night, although I love them all. I love celebrating the Lord’s birthday and I was fortunate enough to celebrate my birthday in His birth month too! I hope you get some chairs soon Megan, you have waited long enough. I am also going to check into freecycle, sounds like a great place.
Here comes Santa Claus! Is one of my favorites! And now my grandaughter is singing it all the time. Happy Holidays to everyone.
presents presents presents oh to win one thanks for the chance
O Holy Night the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth. I love this song.
Oh how I feel your pain! We were married for 10 years before we finally bought bedroom furniture! Just let me say, it was well worth the wait–I got EXACTLY what I wanted! 🙂 Here is one of my favorite Christmas songs to belt out…it is on one of the Very Special Christmas compilations…
Excerpt from Christmas Time Again by Extreme:
Got to give a little more
Remember what we’re thankful for
My love, my God
Let’s pretend just this time
Let’s keep the flow this times
That our Christmases will last all year
Chorus
Don’t you know that it’s
Christmas time again
I’m happy for you
You know it comes and goes
So let’s pretend that it’ll last all year
I love Christmas songs, both sacred & secular. But, choosing one, it would be “What Child Is This?” What a a beautiful song.
Hope all your wishes come true!
Some of my happiest memories are when my husband and I first started out. After using an old table from my single days we bought a table and chairs from an unfinished furniture store and stained them ourselves….not my favorite job. 🙁
Now many years later my husband has passed away and I sold our house. A young couple just starting out bought the house and I asked if they would like the dining room table and chairs. They were thrilled and I was too that another young family would have years of memories sitting around that table. Christmas music makes me feel very sad but I count my blessings that I have five wonderful grandchildren, family, and many friends. Making cards, etc really helps me fill a void. I guess once a teacher always a teacher. I taught for 25 years and now enjoy teaching friends new techniques. The only trouble is I’m usually helping them make cards and got only a few Christmas cards made myself.
I live in Michigan and “Baby its Cold Outside”.
Breath of Heaven, and it is even more beautiful when I have seen it “signed” while sung. I have enjoyed reading some new songs in the blogs above, thanks everyone for sharing.
All I Want For Christmas is a Real Good Tan!!
One of my favorite songs of the season is a hymn, “Lo how a Rose E’er Blooming”. The cadence is unusal and it took a few tries to catch on to it, but once mastered one can never forget the beauty of that poetic song about the birth of Our Lord. Yes, I am a Choir member at my parish and music is a beautiful way to pray.
May you all experience the joy and peace brought by the Christ child this year and throughout your life.
Come all Ye Faithful, Joyful and triumphent….what a triumphant year for Above Rubies, Congrats Meagan!
“Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Saviors birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pinning. Til He appeared and the soul felt his worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices. For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.” I remember singing this song in church at Christmas time ever since I was a little kid. I never really realized what the words meant until I was older and it gives me such joy to know that Jesus was born to save us, if we believe and repent. Oh I can’t wait for Christmas!
Silent Night, Holy Night…that’s what I always sang my son to get him to fall asleep when he was young.
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” What more can I say? It is beginning to look and smell more like Christmas everyday! My hopes and prayers for this season is that everyone would let Christ into their hearts and put Christ back into Christmas.
I say to my son frequently Santa Clause is coming to town. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love Christmas songs, so it’s hard to pick a favorite. I love “The First Noel”, “Silent Night”, ” I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”…
Wow megan you really going all out for christmas with the suprise gift ideas.
My favorite christmas song is silent night.
Joy to the world, the Lord has come! That song just about sums up what Christmas is all about. Thanks for giveaway offer.
I love the little drummer boy and santa baby hurry down the chimney to night.LOL
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How lovely are your branches.
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
Will my prize be beneath them???
Hope you find your new chairs under your tree, Megan!!!
“Joy to the World” is my favorite and also “Silent Night, Holy Night” with a candlelight service. Makes it feel like I was a little girl! Thank you so much for your helpful hints, tutorials and products that really are helpful, not just decorative.
I’ll be “Rockin around the Christmas tree” with my love ones and friends. Hope u will be doing the same…merry christmas to you and your family!
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Always loved that one 🙂 thanks for the chance to win
Deck the halls with boughs of holly – love the Christmas decorations to brighten my spirits – hmm better get to work on decoration. Hope you ge your chairs.
Now that the boys are “older” and traditions have changed somewhat (we can have a nicer dinner, attend the later Christmas Eve service) my favorite 2 songs have become “Silent night, holy night, all is calm..” and “O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining….”. It is great family time, then Christmas morning still carries the same old traditions and fun ! Thanks Megan
Today is our 16th Anniversary. I had a beautiful wedding in PA in the snow. As a matter of fact it lightly snowed that morning. We got married over a wooden walk bridge that crossed over a little creak. It was cold but I never felt it. It was just us and our kids and the Mayor that married us. It was so romantic! Couldn’t have been more perfect! Things have changed a lot from that day, but its so wonderful to have those memories. Our chairs are holding up from back then although we have re-nailed and re-inforced them often. My favorite Christmas song is a song sung by Bruce Springsteen, Merry Christmas Baby. LOVE LOVE that song! Merry Christmas Baby, you surely treat me nice. Merry Christmas Baby you surely treat me nice. I feel like I’m living in Paradise!
Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, o come ye to Bethelehem.
I love it because it has parts and we can all sing the different parts. Wonderful!
I agree with the person who recommended freecycle- it is awesome! Hope all your holiday wishes come true!
Did you know, that your baby boy has walked where angels trod, and when you kiss your little baby, you’ve kissed the face of God? This song brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Thanks again for the chance to win. Merry Christmas!
“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones we used to know.”
We woke up to snow yesterday, but unfortunately it’s melted already.
O Holy Night the stars are brightly shining it is the night of the dear saviour birth. Love that song and its message. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love Christmas time, and everything that goes with it………. and it seems to go by too fast.
Merry Christmas to all!
The weather outside is frightful (Northern Wisconsin this morning)
but the fire is so delightful
and since we’ve no place to go
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow……
Oh so many songs at Christmas. I love them all. In fact I would even get them out after Halloween if I could. But the song I just learned to play on my Harp is Carol of the Bells. It is so beautiful. And so fast. It’s has become my fav. Merry Christmas Megan.
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero año y felicidad.
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart.
“it’s the MOST wonderful time of the year…”
Pretty much sums it up – so much to be thankful for.

Soooo many favorites ….. jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock. He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows if you’be been bad or good so be good for goodness sake. I saw mommy kissing Santa clause, underneath the mistltoe last night.
I used to sing “O Come, O Come Emanuel” to my youngest son before his nap. One day mid-song he said quietly “my mom has racoons in her tummy.” I stopped singing and said “what did you say?” His response was “I knew that would get you to stop.” Yesterday his daughter was born, our first grandaughter after 7 grandsons. Rejjoice, Rejoice! Emanuel shall come.
Ave Maria sung by Josh Groban on his Noel CD. I play this CD so loud you would think I was in a concert hall. What a gifted voice. Merry Christmas to all!
I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams.
Oh what fun to sing a sleighing song tonight
Jingle Bells. Love it.
I’ll Have a Blue Christmas – don’t know who I like better, Elvis ir Bing. HMMMM
Rudolph the red nosed – reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.
Silent night, Holy night, all is calm, all is bright…..at least this is my wish for christmas since I have to work nightshift, lol
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas where the tree tops glisten and scrapper’s listen to hear Rubie’s Studiooooo.
“I’ve been an angel all year, santa baby… So hurry down the chimney tonight.”
So many wonderful Christmas songs to choose from… but my all-time favorite Christmas album is Alabama Christmas. Love the song “Santa Claus (I Still Believe in You)”
You always come around this time of year
With your big ole bag that’s full of Christmas cheer
And when it starts to snow the little boys and girls all know
Soon they’ll hear the sound of your reindeer
Now sometimes grownups grow up to believe
That you don’t really come on Christmas Eve
But I don’t think that’s true ’cause I know I’ve seen you
In sparking little eyes around the tree
Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
And there’s still a kid inside of me that still believes you’re true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And it’s time to play ol’ Santa Claus tonight
I’ll Have A Blue Christmas. Don’t know who I like better – Elvis or Bing. Hmmm
Ring Christmas bells,
Merrily sing,
Tell all the world,
JESUS IS KING!
Would love to win anything this holiday season! The chairs are so cute! Target has a good choice of similar chairs at a good price!! Merry Christmas!!!! Hope the wedding goes well!! 😀
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the ones we used to have…..seems like Christmastime, through a child’s eyes, was filled with lights and pine scents and baking and stimulating sights and sounds….and SNOW! What a perfect picture-postcard kind of vision……OH, that’s an idea for a scrapbook page!!
Oh, I LOVE Silver Bells! It is so whimsical and happy!
I’m Jewish but I love all the Christmas tunes, and. . . I can sing just about all the classic x-mas songs. One of my favorite gift for the holidays is having families gatherings.
Jingle Bells.. Batman smells.. Robin layed an egg!
Ugh, my kids are at the age to just now be hearing these lyrics as if they are so innovative, and they think it’s too funny, and I hear it all the time right now (shakes head).. Hah!
Oh Holy Night, the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Saviors birth! Praise the Lord for that special night so long ago and the most precious gift that was ever given. This is my all time favorite Christmas song.
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
I love Little Drummer Boy.
Oh Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining.
It is the day of our dear Saviour birth!
“You’re a mean one, Mr Grinch” My 5 year old Granddaughter loves that song—LOL!!
Jingle Bells ,Dashing through the snow ,love that part and keep wishing we would get the snow where i live so i can do this lol we never get snow
Fav Lyrics…hmmm…probably…probably Oh Holy Night….especially
” A thrill of HOPE the weary world rejoices
for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!”
This song brings tears to my eyes every time!!!
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas…. not too much just a dusting so no one will have to do any heavy shoveling just let it drift away. Have a wonderful holiday!
I love pop-Christian music and love the song “While You Were Sleeping” by Casting Crows:
Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you’re lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight
Thanks for the chance to share some of our favorite things/wishes with you this Christmas Season!
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas has been on my mind all week but my favorite Carol is The First Noel.
Thanks Megan!
“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…Fall on your knees. Oh, hear the angel voices. Oh, night divine! Oh, night when Christ was born..Oh, holy night!”
What more can one say?
I love Christmas carols! Do you hear what I hear? Way up on the mountain so high. Do you hear what I hear?
Jingle Bells Jingle Bells jingle alll the way has always been a favorite even in June 🙂
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide Carols being sung by a fire and folks dressed up like eskimos.
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas. 🙂
Dashing through the snow, Scrapping all the was, Ha ha ha.
Two of my favorites are:
“There’s no place like home for the holidays!” and
Christmas Shoes:
“I want her to look beautiful if momma meets Jesus tonight. I knew I caught a glimpse of heavan’s love as he thanked me and ran out I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me what Christmas is all about.”
This is such an emotional and touching song at this time of the season. It really does make you stop and think about what Christmas is all about. Thanks Megan for thinking of all of us at this time of year!
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, jack frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir…
I have always loved that one. Merry Christmas!

Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered, will soon deliver you.
I love the way my daughter-in-law sings this.
Merry Christmas from your Canadian friend .My Christmas song that, I love, would be Once In Royal David City.Have a great family Christmas
Picking a favorite Christmas carol is tough–I like so many. But I’ll go with Silent Night–“All is calm, all is bright.”
What child is this who lays to rest, on Marys lap is sleeping?
Dawn RI
Mary did you know and ofcourse jingle bells its my 2year old grandaughter Julia’s favorite this year .God Bless
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
I remember watching “The Little Drummer Boy” on TV as a child…too bad they no longer show it! It brings back wonderful memories of how innocent we use to be, and of a time it was not politically incorrect to say “Merry Christmas!”
I, too, have been waiting for a nice dining room set…preferably one that seats 8…and I’ve been married for a while now. But, we live in a small house with no dining room. So, I had to settle for a small table and and 4 chairs from IKEA. It’s ok though, we’ve spent many a great times at that small table!
Mary did you know is the song I pick
Favorite Carols: Joy to the World and O Come All Ye Faithful. I love the verses after the first verse of all carols. Usually some amazing theology there. “He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness and wonders of His Love.” and another from We Three Kings (not my favorite carol/melody but some incredible lyrics) “Glorious now behold Him arise: King and God and Sacrifice. Heaven sings Alelujah; Alelujah Earth replies.” “Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing, O come let us adore Him.”
Well Miss Megan Elizabeth, chairs might be nice but as busy as you are would you even have time to sit down??
Watched your Christmas video last night — headed for my craft room today. Many thanks for all you do for us!
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas … in Phoenix??
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Now dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh, or the fields we go laughing all the way. This is fun, because NO one can hear me and tell me that I’m singing off key.
Thank You.
When My husband and I were engaged, he was the office manager of a furniture store. He was just out of college and managing 30 women! Swears he got 10 years work experience in his 1 year there! As money permitted, he tried to buy our funiture while he worked there. By the time he got around to the dining room furniture, money was going toward honeymoon savings and we ended up buying a redwood stained pine picnic table and benches. It did sit quite a few as long as the heaviest didn’t sit on the end and flip people off!That was almost 40 years ago. We did eventually get something new, but never a ‘formal’ dining room suite. We’re just not ‘formal’ type people!!
My favorite Christmas carol I “Mary, Did You Know?’ As far as the old, traditional carols, my favorite is “O Holy Night”. I love this time of the year. I think part of the reason is that I’m from the Texas Gulf coast and it’s one of the few times of the year that we may have winter weather for a change!
I hope that everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas. To those who are in military families and can not celebrate together, THANK YOU all for your sacrifices. Godspeed to your loved one, and may they be home with you next Christmas.
oh holy night the stars are brightly shining…it is the night of our dear saviors birth…
merry christmas! may santa bring you some gorgeous chairs for your dining table!
Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I love all Christmas songs, and I have my favorites, but I LOVE “Homemade Kentucky Christmas” by Kenny Rogers. It always brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me of growing up (we almost always had to make the gifts). Even today, our family would rather receive homemade gifts than store bought. In my case, they don’t have a choice, because I can never afford to buy Christmas presents.
I love them all to, but something I really love is all the songs from the Story Forgotten Carols. I don’t know if it is just Utah thing, But they are so meaningful. Mary let me hold her Baby, so soft and warm….
Silver Bells is my favorite Christmas carol, I love the lyrics, but especially the memories. It was my Mother’s favorite, and I can still hear her singing it everytime I hear it played.
Merry Christmas!
” I want a hippopotamus for christmas, only a hippopotamus will do” I taught my 5 yr old that song makes me smile everytime I hear it.
My favorite Christmas song is Mary, Did You Know? Awesome thoughts on how His mother might have felt.
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters? When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
I love, love, love this song. I sing it all year long.
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…. I love when we get snow before Christmas because that is what really gets me in the mood for the holiday. I also love any line from “What Child Is This”. I love the songs in the minor keys. 😀
Oh Holy Night truly is my favorite. What a Holy Night it was when our Savior came to earth. I pray the Holiness of this Christmas shine in all hearts and continue beyond that precious night. Above all the frantic shopping, heavy traffic and festive planning, may the whole world hear the sounds of that Holy Night-of angles proclaiming His birth, of the cry of the greatest gift ever given to man and the silent awe of the shepherds as they gazed at our precious Savior.
Christmas time is near, so lets not shed a tear, lets just get to making crafts for all of us to share.

Joyful, all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies! (it’s hard to stop! LOVE this hymn!!!!!) Thanks, Megan!!!
Beginning Again
Author: Lois Duncan
The close of a year is a milestone.
We find it both painful and sweet.
A dawn has evolved into sunset,
A chapter of life is complete.
Its wonders are now only memories,
And all of the stories are told.
Tomorrow’s adventures lie waiting
with new sagas yet to unfold.
Although we are glad to move onward,
the past is an intricate part.
Its memories, like beautiful music,
Were strummed on the strings of the heart.
So cherish those wonderful memories.
Hold them and cuddle them tight,
Then tuck them away in a scrapbook
and bid them a tender goodnight.
Hark the harold angels sing glory to the newborn king. peace on earth….. i hsbe a martina mcbride christmas cd. i love it!!!
Mary, did you know your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Dashing thru the snow, in a one horse open sleigh, over the fields we go, laughing all the way!
You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why; Santa Claus is coming to town. My daughter just brought home Michael Buble’s Christmas CD and I love his version of it…..she was singing it in the car to me. Love times like that!
silent night, holy night….is a beautiful classic Christmas song.
dashing through the snow to get to Above Rubies Studio on a one horse open sleigh
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Jingle cricut, jingle cricut, jingle while I craft!
I sing Christmas songs all year. it is hard to pick one that I sing all the time. I guess right now I would have to sing the Holly Jolly Christmas, it’s the best time of the year….. that is what my daughter is going to be singing in her Christmas program for school. Thanks for the chance to try and win.
“What can I give Him……Give Him my heart”
We so often forget what Christmas is really about
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat he wore! It would be magic to win!
I love any and all c-mas music…hard to pick just one.
♪♫♪ Happy Birthday Jesus. I’m so glad it’s Christmas. All the tinsel and lights, and the presents are nice, but the real gift is You. ♪♫♪
My 4 yr. old son has been singing this for over a month now, and it’s hard not to join in. This song always makes my heart melt, and brings a tear of joy to my eye!
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…. Jack frost nipping at you nose…..
Love it!! 😉
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim
Chirst is born in Bethlehem
Hark! The hearld angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
I could go on and on. Good thing you can’t hear me singing it, because I don’t sing very well at all 🙂 Thanks for all the great giveaways!
Dashing through tha snow, on a one horse open sleigh! Love me some snow!
My favorite Christmas song is Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! I love that song and to hear my young grand daughters sing it makes me smile and laugh. Thank you for all you have done for us crafters, you rock!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
Do you Hear What I Hear?
We need to be still and listen……….listen to that still small voice in the midst of all the fun chaotic-ness of this Christmas season.
…….”Said the king to the people everywhere, Listen to what I say! Pray for peace, people, everywhere…”……
Peace and JOY to all!
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
The Hallelujah Chorus…although not strickly a Christmas song…moves me every time I hear it. A couple of years ago my family was doing our annual Black Friday shopping and we had taken a break to eat in the food court of the shopping mall we were at. Suddenly one person started singing and the next thing we were listening to a flash mob sing the Hallelujah Chorus…it absolutely gave me goosebumps! BTW…just ordered my first PaperLayerz!!!!! Great deal….thanks!!!
Santa Baby..hurry down the chimney tonight!!
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creations…. One of my favorite Christmas songs. Hope you get some chairs soon!
Merry Christmas Darling, we’re apart that’s true. But I can dreams, and in my dreams, I’m Christmasing with you!!! Love love love this song by the Carpenters!!
“Christmas is a comin’, and the egg is in the nog. Please do give a friendly man a friendly little dog. If you haven’t got a friendly dog, a friendly cat’ll do. If you haven’t got a friendly cat, may God bless you.”
My absolute favorite song is Mary did you know, because Christmas is about the birth of Christ .
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you’re holding is the Great, I Am.
Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear savior’s birth.
This peaceful song is so calming and spirtual to me.
Oh Holy Night! The Stars are brightly shining!
Good luck with chairs. I hear what you are saying. After 14 yrs of marriage and over 20 years of being “on my own” I still don’t have a nice dining table or chairs. Someday………
…..Oh, gingle bells, gingle bells, gingle all the way…oh what fun it is to surf to Above Ruby’s for some tape! Past the fields it goes, driver laughing all the way, goodies in the back, that will make my crafting best!!
Christmas eve after everyone else is in bed is quite and beautiful and such an O Holy Night the stars are brightly shining.
Happy Holidays to all.
Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining…. It doesn’t seem to matter who sings it, I like that song.

I hope you get your CHRISTMAS WISH Megan, and more than that MERRY CHRISTMAS to YOU and YOURS!
I love anything Alan Jackson but I love all CHRISTMAS SONGS old and new! this is just one of my favs
LET IT BE CHRISTMA EVERYWHERE by ALAN JACKSON
Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the hearts of all people both near and afar
Christmas everywhere
Feel the love of the season wherever you are
On the small country roads lined with green mistletoe
Big city streets where a thousand lights glow
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere
My mom’s fave is always the first Christmas tune that comes to mind…
Silver and Gold, Silver and Gold
Mean so much more when I see
Silver and gold decorations
On every Christmas tree
My ulitmite favorte Cristmas song is winter wonderland, but my new fav is “Mary did you know”
Mary did you know that your baby boy would some day rule the nation, did you know that your baby boy is heaven’s perfect plan, and when you kiss your little baby you kiss the faceof God? Oh Mary did you Kknow?
Have a Blessed Christmas!
Hope you get all you wish for and much more as you are such a blessing!
Oh Mary did you know your baby boy has come to save the nation
I want to wish you a Mrry Christmas from the bottom of my heart….
thank you!
I love this time of year when we have the first fall of snow, family get togethers, caroling and drinking hot tea or hot chocolate. My favorite song is “O Beauitful Star of Bethlehem” Love to hear it again and again.Thanks for the great job you are doing.
It is so hard to pick….Winter Wonderland. Love them all
jingle bells, batman smells, Robin laid an egg….. ha ha ha!
I know about the chair thing. I turned 60 in October and just got my FIRST dining room set that was not some one elses first. I just love it and it’s NEW and all Mine… My favorite Christmas song would be Oh Holey Night the starts are brightly shining… No matter where I’m at, that song reminds me of Christmas… Hope your Christmas is wonderful.. Thanks for a chance to win.. JoAnn
I have alot of favorites but, I want a hippotamus for Christmas. Only a hippotamus will do. No rhinocerus’ or dinky tinker toys. I want a hippotamus to play with and enjoy………… I love, love, that song.
A Silent Night it is not when our church sends out groups to spread Joy to the World by Christmas Caroling in the community. Do you hear What I hear? It is the cricut humming to get tags made for the baskets we take the shut ins. You should join us by Go Tell It on the Mountain. LOL. This was fun. Christmas Caroling is my favorite event during the holidays. In the 28 years I’ve lived in my community I’ve only missed twice.
Merry Chritsmas!
Ok…i love Christmas and everything it is about. but the Christmas songs start to get to ne after while Im not a scrouge by any means. i guess i would prefer more spiritual such as “away in a manger no crib for his head”versus jingle bells 🙂
Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviors birth.
My favorite Christmas song.
And “This Christmas” will be, a very special Christmas, for me…. when a prize from Above Rubies Studio arrives under my tree. Smooches…
I was listening to a radio station yesterday that was playing all Christmas music. A song came on that I had never heard before. I don’t know who sang it (a man), and I don’t even know the title of it, but it really choked me up. It was about a little boy who wanted to buy his mother a beautiful pair of shoes, for when she meets Jesus in heaven. His daddy told him that mommy would be leaving earth soon, and the son wanted to buy this nice gift for her to wear in heaven. Made me cry……
‘I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, IF ONLY IN MY DREAMS’
Hope you find some new chairs under your tree this year!! Thanks for giving us all the chance to win some nice gifts from you!!
I have Christmas music on every chance I get. I love so many.
Joy to the World the Lord is Come, Let earth receive her King.
Silver Bells Sliver Bells
How do you have time to do this and do a wedding?
“Mary did you know that the sleeping child your holding is the Great I Am” has to be my favorite Christmas song line. New dining room chairs are a nice gift
Oh.. Im dreaming of White Christmas (In Central Texas)
Just like the one’s I use to know (back in St. Louis, MO)
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow!
A song dedicated to all my family back home- I miss them so much!
Thanks Above Rubies Studio for putting some fun back into the holidays for me!
“Brown paper packages, wrapped up in string… these are a few of my favorite things” OK, not a tradional Christmas song, but a favorite and very appropriate for your gift give-away!
Oh Holy Night, the Stars are Brightly Shining….Love that song!! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it! Thanks so much for the chance to win!! Have a very Merry Christmas! 🙂
Mary did you know that your baby boy is the Great I Am is my favorite song lyrics. Dining chairs make a really nice Christmas gift
Silver Bells, Silver Bells soon it will be Christmas Day. City Sidewalks Busy Sidewalks, I just love this song.
Merry Christmas.
How Many Kings gave up their son for me… Only one did that for me. It’s a new Christmas song and certainly not a traditional carol but it speaks of the real reason we celebrate the season. May God richly bless your Christmas. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!
I’ll Be Home For Christmas, by Elvis Presley. Not all of us are able to make the way home.
Christmas Eve will find me where the love light beams, I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams.
I lOVE all the holiday songs! But ever since I was a child (many, many years ago! LOL) I have had a special place in my heart for The Who Song (Welcome Christmas) from the Grinch. It is still my favorite Christmas Cartoon, (runs a close second to It’s a Wonderful Life, for my favorite movie). Something about
realizing that the holiday is not all about presents and “stuff” and finding the true meaning of Christmas.
Welcome Christmas come this way
Welcome Christmas, Christmas day
Christmas day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp
Welcome Christmas bring your cheer
Welcome all Whos far and near
Christmas day will always be
Just so long as we have we
Welcome Christmas bring your light
(hum next two lines…)
Welcome Christmas, Christmas day
Welcome Christmas while we stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand
Welcome welcome Christmas Day…
Welcome, welcome X-mas day….
Merry Christmas everyone!
“fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices…” Beautiful!!
I love your daily contests, this is such fun! I actually have two favorite holiday songs….Silent Night probably my first fave…it moves me. My second fave would be Santa Claus is coming to town….when my kids were little and misbehaving at Christmas time I would start singing that song….”he knows if you’ve been bad or good” and they would all start behaving. Now I do that with my youngest grandaughter and it has the same effect! Love it!
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear voices singing let’s be jolly deck the halls with balls of holly. Rockin around the christmas tree -that is my favorite song. Julie
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas”. I have you beat Megan, we have always had hand me downs for dinning rooms and never had any real dinning set to match until after 30 years of marriage and we finally splurged on a brand new dinning room set from Costco that is so awesome.
I’m still hopin’ I will get a prize too.
Gayle
I love “Angels We Have Heard On High”!
Angels we have heard on high ~~ Sweetly singing o’er the plains~~
And the mountains in reply ~~ Echoing their joyous strains~~
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪
Shepherds, why this jubilee? ~~ Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be ~~ Which inspire your heavenly song?
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪
Come to Bethlehem and see ~~ Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee, ~~ Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪
See Him in a manger laid ~~ Jesus Lord of heaven and earth;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, ~~ With us sing our Savior’s birth.
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪
♪ Gloria,~~~~~~~~~~ in excelsis Deo! ♪~~♪~~♪
Hope you get all that is on your wish list!!
Thank you for all you do!! Merry Christmas!!!
…..run,run Rudolph, Santa’s gotta make it on time!
Hard to choose favorite…..love them all, but I guess if I had to choose…..Silent Night, Holy Night, all is clam, all is bright……ahhhhh – love that!
I think my favorite Christmas tune would have to be Silver Bells. It is so pretty and upbeat!! Thanks for a chance to win a fun scrapbooking gift!!
Silent Night is my favorite Christmas song. When you start singing this song everything goes quiet and you know it is Christmas time. This” quiet” is hard to find in a large family. Regina
“Mary, did you know? As a mother I always wonder what Mary felt, giving birth to our Savior and then having to give him up to save us all. This song really touches my heart.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, this is Santa’s big day. In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.
My grandfather used to play Silver Bells every year on his organ. It is still one of my favorite songs!
O Holy Night
While my 3 year old grandson was “helping” me make our Christmas cards last night I kept singing the same3 words to him but I can not remember now what they were. 🙁
Oh Christmas tree Oh Christmas tree… wish I knew more of the words,,,,,
“God rest ye merry gentleman, let nothing you dismay, remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day, to save us all from Satan’s power when we have gone astray, Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, oh tidings of comfort and joy!
I love this song, I think we all need a reminder sometimes, especially in these hard times, that we are never alone. 🙂
I don’t know the words, but I love the tune of Gesu Bambino.
I’ll have a blue christmas without you! Since I am from Memphis it is my fav!!!
Good luck with the chairs, we only have 1 currently!
I’ll be home for Christmas. You can count on me. This is still very meaningful for me. It all started when I was away at college and was so glad to get home for Christmas. Now I’m scrapbooking these memories. Such wonderful memories–family, Jesus birth, celebration. Merry Christmas all! Karen E
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….
My favorite Christmas song is Hark the Herald Angels sing and my favorite line is “Glory to the newborn King” it is the reason we celebrate the Christmas holiday
I simply adore this time of year…and have many favorite Christmas songs…
White Christmas, because it was my sweet Grampa’s favorite…
I’ll Be Home For Christmas…if only in my dreams… Just a very beautiful song…
Oh Holy Night always brings a tear to my eye…and such a beautiful message.
And on the lighter side, “Want a plane that loops the loop….Me, I want a hula hoop” …Alvin and The Chipmunks. 🙂
Hope Santa brings you those much-desired chairs.
hi, my favorite christmas song is mary did you know your baby boy would save our son and daugther ?
My fav. Christmas Tune /Song is… Away 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 on the hay….
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
I love so many Christmas songs that I don’t have a favorite. The lyrics that have been going through my mind lately are: The weather outside is frightful . . . Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Ever since we got snow about a week or so ago! Thanks again for the chance to win.
Craigs List is a great place to find good deals. I’ve found a lot of great bargains there. Hopefully you’ll be able to find some chairs you love at a great price.
I find that alot of people dont know this song but it is my favorite one my 5 year old son loves it to so we sing it alot at christmas time it by Roger Whittaker and its called Darcy The Dragon
Christmas was coming, and Darcy the dragon
Was thinking what he should do
Go through the forest and into the village
To pick up a gift or two.
For through the forest dear Darcy had friends
Whom he loved very much
He thought it’d be fine, at Christmas-time,
To give each a present or such.
“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, my two front, teeth.” ” Than I could wish you “Merry Christmas”!
My grandson has recently lost his two front teeth, so I (Nana) sing that song to him all the time.
Nina
I’ll be home for Christmas,
That’s where you are sure to find me,
‘Cuz that’s where all my fun crafting stuff is,
So there’s no better place to be!
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas. Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow
My Favorite Christmas Song and Movie. =)
“I’m dreaming of a White Christmas. Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow”
My Favorite Christmas Song and Movie. =)
Santa Claus is coming to town!!!
I have to say my favorite movie is “White Christmas” I usually watch it 2 – 3 times during the Christmas season, usually while I am wrapping presents. Merry Christmas:)
First thing Thanksgiving morning I start singing, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” Love Christmas music. 🙂
I have those chairs. I wish I would have gotten them with padded cushions. Sitting for a long time playing board games with the grandsons tends to make your fanny sore…..and the wood seats scratch easy.
My song “My kids will be home for Christmas let it snow let it snow let it snow.”
Thank you
Linda in Stanwood
Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining, it is the night of our dear Savior’s birth! My all-time favorite Christmas song!
My now 34 year old daughter sang this song at her kindergarten Christmas program. It has stuck with me ever since. I don’t know all the lyrics but this is the beginning. It was such a cute song!! If anyone knows all the lyrics please email me as I’d love to teach it to my grandchildren!!
“Christmas cookies and Holiday hearts, that’s the way the Holiday starts”
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Heard this very moving song last year…really puts Christmas in perspective.
I hope this is what you were looking for. I did a quick search on google and saw it on a list for a school Christmas program. Enjoy and Merry Christmas.
Connie

“The weather outside if frightful but inside it so delightful, since we have no place to go let it, snow let it snow, let it snow”….Please! I am trying to be patient, but, it is just so much more Christmas-y when its snowing!

“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!”
we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a merry christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas Megan and family and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the waaay!!!!
I have had so much fun this morning reading everybodys responses, remembering songs I haven’t heard for awhile and learning some new ones. I have so many I love. One silly song that brings back good memories is Rusty Cheverolet. When my son was young I drove an old rusty chevy and we would sing this song about our rusty sleigh at the top of our lungs everytime we went somewhere during the holiday season. But on a more serious note one that I like that I haven’t seen mentioned is One Child One Day by Reba
A small white church, a mountainside
Cathedrals filled with music and golden light
On we gather everywhere
For the peace that’s always there
For the story that is told
of a birth so long ago
One child one day
And the universe will never be the same
From Bethlehem
Cause the angels voices rejoicing in his name
Oh and I believe with all my heart
that he will show the way
And you and I will meet one child one day
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but winning some gifts would be delightful, and since we’ve no place to go let me scrap let me scrap let me scrap!
Well since O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song I guess I will go with: “O holy night, the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Saviors birth.” Thank you for the chance to win!
“Joy to the world, the Lord has come. Let Earth receive her King!”
this new classic Christmas song is my favorite-Mary, did you know ?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered
Will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
You’ve kissed the face of God
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding
Is the Great I Am
“Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer…”
Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining! It is the night of thy dear saviors birth.
I won’t be seein’ Santa Clause, Somebody snitched on me, He won’t come visit me because
Somebody snitched on me, Next year I’ll be goin’ straight, Next year I’ll be good, just wait
I’d start now, but it’s too late, Cuz somebody snitched on me
Oh oh oh oh, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas, Mommy and Daddy are mad
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas, Cuz I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad
Better be good, Whatever you do, Cuz if you don’t
I’m warning you, You’ll get nuttin’ for Christmas
Nuts!
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad y un prospero ano y felicidad,
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas,
i want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
One of the children at my school came in singing this song, he heard it on the radio and it’s been in my head since 🙂
Thanks for the chance,
Oh come oh ye faithful, joyful and triumphant…. Love this time of the year!!!
Do you hear what I hear?
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer since I’ve been a fan since I was a little girl, have a soft spot for him!
Also love all the others, the season is so wonderful!! Good luck finding your chairs Megan!
Bells on bobcats ring!
This is what my ears heard as a kid, and forever the image in my mind when I hear jingle-bells 🙂
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. 🙂
BTW, my best purchase of 2011: 4 new looking dining chairs for $40 at Goodwill! (My antique chairs broke under my father-in-law, and he’s not a big guy! Boy was my face red, though not as red as his!) 😀
Its beginning to look like Christmas, everywhere I go.
I think the dining room chairs is a great idea… We got our about 2 years of getting married and it was so worth the wait… LOL!
Fave song goes to “Jingle Bells Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way….”
Though my son who is 5 loves to sing the not so nice version :Jingle Bells, Santa smells, grandma laid an egg” HAHAHA!
Thanks!
I have 2 favorites that I could just hear over and over.” I’ll be home for Christmas, you can count on me, if only in my dreams” This is so nostalgic, makes me think of when I was a kid during WWII. It tugs at my heart.
My other favorite is “OH holy night, the stars are brightly shining…” You asked previously what we wanted for Christmas. I am blessed. I NEED so very little. I have a warm dry house and food for my table. I am able to pay my bills, thus far. And even tho they are scattered I have family. And friends too. God bless each of you this season… BTW, of course I have a wish list of dies, stamps, copics, paper, a replacement for my 18 yr old car and to dream about winning the lottery (whoops, they tell me I have to buy a ticket)…..
I love Breath of Heaven sun by Amy Grant.
“I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams….”. My husband and I have missed so many Christmas’s together through all his years in the Navy, and now we’re going through the same thing with my son in the Army. It never gets easier and the though the song makes me cry, I do get some comfort from my dreams.
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way. Thanks for the chance to win!
You can get some really great dining room chairs at a decent price at overstock.com – that’s what I did after 30+ years of use started to ruin the chairs that came with my table. Hope your wish comes true!
Do I really have to pick just one favorite Christmas song? I guess it’s “Away in the Manger.” Love the gift a day idea. Such fun!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer!
Oh you better watch out, you better not cry. You better not pout I’m telling you why… Santa Clause is coming to town! Yay!!!
Trish S.
I’m dreaming of a white christmas……
It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas . . . I hope not. I’m not a big fan of snow, well, maybe if it stayed off the road and sidewalks. Merry Christmas.
Oh the weather outside is frightful (especially here in northern Ohio)…haven’t seen the sun very much lately! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
My favorite song “Mary Did You Know”. Like many others. But I love hearing the Christmas music and sing to it if I can. My voice has been affected with laryngitis last month and still isn’t up to singing much but I love to listen. You can get great things on craigslist. Good luck.
One of my favorite Christmas carols is It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
I don’t know all of the words to list here, but I love that song “Mary Did You Know” – it is beautiful and the music sounds very current. Happy Holidays and I hope you get chairs. I have a thing about chairs. I have gathered sixteen mismatched chairs to go around my twelve foot long table a friend made for me. Someday I hope to get matching chairs – I like the shabby chic look of mismatched but I think new ones that match would be nice someday – sixteen chairs at a $100 or so each is a lot of money to spend when I have functional chairs I got free or on sale. ;^) Happy Holidays.
I don’t have a favorite, I just love all the carols, though I do favor the inspirational ones, I love to sit in the room with just the lights from the christmas tree on with all the beautiful carols playing and thinking about something I can do to brighten someones day.
Love the Christmas Song “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…”
Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear saviors birth. From memory right now, that is all I can remember. 🙂
Chestnuts burning on an open fire, Jack Frost biting at your nose. I just love
Christmas songs. Merry Christmas everyone 🙂
I love Christmas songs! It really is my most favorite time of the year. One song that always brings tears to my eyes is “the Christmas Shoes.” it is an amazing song!
My chrIstmas song is He’s making a list, checking it twice, going to find out who’s naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town. This is fun!
so love the christmas shoes…tearful song, but beautiful…
I love to sing, so there are soooo many. I guess one of may favs would have to be It Came Upon A Midnight Clear – that glorious song of old. Of Angles bending near the Earth to touch their harps of gold. I love the words and I love the tune and I love the picture it evokes ;- )
Oh what fun it is to play these games. Paper Layzers, Paper Layzers, Paper layzers all the way.Oh what fun it is to use Paper layzers every day!
Rudoph the red-nosed (Paper Layerzed) reindeer,
Had a very shiny (Paper Layerzed) nose…..
My grandkids keep singing it so maybe I should cut one out with my cricut for them!
With Paper Layerz of course!
You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why; Santa Claus is coming to town. I’ve been singing this to my 3 year old for several weeks now. Good luck on finding chairs. We are lucky to have a Mennonite community nearby and they make wonderful hardwood chairs that are reasonably priced.
Hi everybody at Above Rubies Studios, We wish you a Merry Christmas!! Hope your having a Wonderful Holiday Season.
“The stars are brightly shining. It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth”
I love all Christmas songs it is so hard to choose. “Frosty the snowman was a very happy soul. With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made of coal. “
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus!
“Santa Baby, hurry down the chimney tonight”, Hope you all have a wonderful holiday.
jman4@comcast.net
Well Megan, you definitely live in the right area for quality made chairs. I LOVE Amish made furniture!
Songs would include but not limited to, Oh Holy Night, Silent Night, Do You Hear What I Hear. Hope everyone will hacve a Merry Christmas, and no I am not ashamed or afraid to say Merry Christmas, and not gonna say Happy Holidays.
I like “It’s called Christmas with a Capital “C”!
Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock!!!
Hi Megan, Merry Christmas and thank you for all the wonderful giveaways. There’s a relatively new Christmas song on the market called “If Mama meets Jesus tonight” or also titled the Christmas shoes.
It’s so beautiful and brings a flood of tears to my eyes every time I hear it. My husband passed away five years ago on December 15th and this song really touches my heart every time I hear it playing on the radio.
I have to agree with Pat, amish made furniture is the absolute best. I hope you receive all your precious heart desires on Christmas Day. Sweet blessings to your family and you. Pam B.
Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
I have been singing this all day since I heard it on the radio this morning. Here is part of it
Santa’s got a little friend,
His name is Dominick.
The cutest little donkey,
You never see him kick.
When Santa visits his paisons,
With Dominick he’ll be.
Because the reindeer cannot,
Climb the hills of Italy.
Hey! Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It’s Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
hehehehe its such a fun little unusual song!
Thanks

I adore the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Forever, and ever, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! We went to “Tuba Christmas” today – over 150 tubas, sousaphones, and euphoniums on stage – and arrived just in time to hear them playing that. It was wonderful!
I work retail and have been listening to Christmas music for months, “Fiiiiiiiive Gooooooooolden Ringgggggggggs” is the part of the song I sing out loud everytime I hear it!! I just get a kick the way the singer elaborates on this part of the song!! Merry Christmas to all!!
Janet Cooney
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her king!
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus…………………
Love Christmas music!! I usually ave the radio on while I wrap presents. Thanks for the chance to win.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year!
There is just somthing about this song that always gets me into the christmas cheer when I start feeling the grinch come on!
O Holy Night by David Phelps
Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love all the Christmas caroles. This year I have to add a nother song to my list. My 6 yr old grand daughter was laughing hysterically when she told her aunt “Grandma Got Ran Over by A Reindeer”. I never heard this song but after hearing her laughter I will have to find it. Thanks Megan for making the days leading up to Christmas less stressful and enjoyable.
Good Luck on the chairs. Enjoying your daily gift giveaway.
“Sweet Little Jesus Boy” is the real reason for my joy this season, but the secular side of me would like to say “Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing — a ring!”
All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth (and some paper layerz!) Thanks for the great line and chance to win.
O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant..
Hope your having a great season so far!
Have a holly, jolly Christmas and as you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet….
Silent Night, is a favorite. It is a favorite to sing. Thanks for all the great giveaways.
“Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmastime in the city.” makes me gals to live in the country–and I would love an entire kitchen make over for Christmas but not sure I could find that on Craig’s List
“Santa’s gonna come and make him mine this Christmas” …the beat just gets in my head and won’t get out! 🙂
I love all Christmas carols. Interestingly enough I substituted in a second grade class yesterday. I read aloud the book Silent Night which is a picture book of the lyrics. After the reading I asked how many of them knew the song. Only 3 of the 20 knew it. I asked them would they like to sing it (as I am not a singer and that is a hard song). They tried but were either off in words or tune. I gathered enough courage to sing it for them. They made my day. Their little faces lit up as I sang and I received hugs afterward. Silent Night will be my favorite for a while.
“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire” that would have to be a line from my favorite Christmas Carol.
Love your site and just adore your Paperlayzers. Keep up the good work.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas! Hope you’re enjoying the wedding.
I saw this video on youtube by Becky Kelley, and it really touched me. Part of the lyrics are:
Where’s the line to see Jesus?
Is He here at the store?
If Christmastime is His birthday,
Why don’t we see Him more?
Good luck on finding dining room chairs. I think I had been married about 25 years when we finally got a nice dining room table/chairs. My chairs are very solid and should last longer I will last. As for a favorite Christmas song, it’s hard to pick one. I love Christmas music but I think it would be Silent Night.
I saw mommie kissing Santa Claus…..it’s great Holiday times
Just received my first pack of Paper Layerz. Can’t wait to try.
I’ve been married 31 years and on our 10th anniversary we were to get a new dining room set.
Still haven’t gotten one!!! Hope you get yours!
“I saw mommy kissing santa claus underneath the mistletoe last night” Love that song!!!!
“walking around the christmas tree what a happy holiday”!!!!!!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer…….walking home from our house Christmas eve…..
I always thought this was too funny. Now that I’m a Grandma, maybe a little less funny, but amusing just the same.
We just bought these exact chairs today at Ikea for $20 each. I couldn’t believe the price and they are really sturdy!! We’ve been married for many years and our current dining room chairs are much too big for the space so we’ve been making do as well and decided to go ahead and get them today for a dinner party we’re having tomorrow.
My christmas song is Hark the Herald Angels Sing … glory to the new born King…
Here it goes…. There’s lots of room for him in our two-car garage I’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes to see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamusfor Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses I only like hippopotamuseses And hippopotamuses like me too!
On a more traditional note, I would say Mary Did you Know(I think that’s the name) by Trash Yearwood.
I love so many Christmas songs. Let’s see I think a newer one in the past years would be “Mary Did You Know?” If sung by the right person it is beautiful! Thanks Megan for all you do. Hope you get some chairs before 1 of you falls to the ground!!!
oh holy night, the stars are shinining brightly..,
Merry Christmas to all!
I love the Carol of the Bells.
Jan
This is the song that makes me smile and happy every single time I hear it.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square, in the frosty air. What a bright time, it’s the right time, to rock the night away. Jingle bell time is a swell time to go riding in a one horse sleigh.
“Faaaaaall on your kneees! Oh heeeaar the angel’s vooooices! Oh niiiight diviiiine, oh night divine.” I LOVE O Holy Night and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Hark the Herald Angels Sing, and O Come O come Immanuel and Jingle Bells and The Christmas Song and—OH I JUST LOVE THEM ALLL!!!! I LOVE Christmas! I love the music and the magic the season brings. I feel so blessed with my beautiful family. Merry Christmas, Megan & your family! Take care!
OH HOLY NIGHT and SILENT NIGHT can’t decide which is best …. Of course there is OH COME LET US ADORE HIM. My goodness so many to choose from!! God Bless You all!! Lil
I like both old and new Christmas songs. For whatever reason, I like listening to “Christmas through your Eyes” I think that’s the name.
Silent Night….
Please…let it be quiet for one night. Peace…..please, everywhere.
I love the song “Mary did you know?” It brings to light the humanity and reality of God humbling himself and coming to earth to fulfill his plan for humanity!! Merry Christmas!
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas. Hope you find some new chairs underneath your tree.
As a child my favorite was “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” I still think it’s cheery and cute and was just signing it with my 7 year old Granddaughter today in fact.
As a child I very much disliked “‘I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus”, when you think about it isn’t that kind of a scary song for a child!
Silent Night is my favorite Christmas song.
Up on the housetop reindeer paws, if I win out comes good old Santa Clause! Thanks so much.
We’re closer now than ever before
There’s love in our world and we’re showing it more
Our world says, “Welcome, stranger.”
Everybody’s a friend
Favorite stories don’t end
In our world
These lryics are from a really cute- forgotten Christmas movie: Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas/The Christmas Toy. It is muppets and so very cute.
Megan your Christmas wish kinda reminded me of the Otters in this movie. I just laugh whenever the Otters’ sit down, being Muppets and Otters—- they dont sit very well. LOL.
Best of luck on finding/getting some chairs.
Love this take on Mary and Joseph by dave barnes…
Mary was the first of three,
long black hair and sugar sweet,
daddy’s eyes and momma’s crooked smile.
Christmas is all about family to me and since my mother passed away, it is increasingly getting more difficult to get everyone together at Christmas. My mom made it happen and that was very special to me. I can remember growing up and she has an 8-track player (wow, am I showing my age or what). She would put in her Bing Crosby Christmas tape and sing, sing, sing. To this day I love the rendition that Bing Crosby sang of Mele Kalikimaka (or some call it The Hawaiian Christmas Song) As I got older we sang it together……
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
on a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That’s the island greeting that we send to you
from the land where palm trees sway.
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii’s way to say
Merry Christmas
A very merry Christmas ,
a very, very, merry, merry Christmas to you!
Brings tears to my eyes………
My 3 year old has been singing non-stop since the Christmas Radio Station started right after Thanksgiving . . . Feliz Navidad . . .I wanna wish you a merry Christmas, I wanna wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart!!!
We so need new dining room chairs. It’s actually not the chairs (although they are not my favorite), we just need more of them. We have a family of 5 and only 4 chairs, one unlucky person at meals has to sit on an old farm stool, not very comfortable!!!
I love Coming Home By Sugar land.
“Coming Home”
Well hello, it’s been a long time
And I wanna know
What’s been going down
Since I been gone
And are you alright?
Are you okay?
Me, I’m alright
But is there anyway that you could
Make space, say grace
Set my place at the table?
And tell ’em I’m coming home
Tell ’em I’m coming home
Yes, I know, I know she loves me
And she wore it so
And I know just what she’ll say
Each time I call
She’ll say, “Are you alright?
How’s your work?
Are you alright?
How’s my baby girl?”
And I’ll say, “I’m feeling strong
But it’s been too long”
So I wrote this song to say I miss you
And tell you I’m coming home
Momma, I’m coming home
Angels on high at the top of a tree
Stars in the sky shine away, I can see
Oh Momma, please leave a light on for me
I’m coming home
(I’m coming home)
Tell ’em I’m coming home
(I’m coming home)
F.U.N.

I’ll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams. I will be at home dreaming about the goodies in your wrapped prize packages is what I’ll be doing.
Megan you are so inspirational I know you will get your wish. Well after reading all these comments and realising that most songs don’t really pertain to New Zealand as we are south of the equator and very warm at this time of year as we are heading into summer. But this is a Kiwi christmas song. (and for those that don’t know most New Zealanders call themselves Kiwis after the bird that is native to our small islands)
you tube link http://youtu.be/nRcJ554cMY8
Now its well worth watching the youtube link after reading the words below.
Now Sticky Beak the kiwi, that bird from way down under
He’s caused a great commotion and it isn’t any wonder
He’s notified old Santa Claus to notify the deer
That he will pull the Christmas sleigh in the southern hemisphere.
Chorus:
Lots of toys for girls and boys load the Christmas sleigh
He will take the starlight trail along the Milky Way.
Hear the laughing children as they shout aloud with glee:
‘Sticky Beak, Sticky Beak, be sure to call on me.’
Now every little kiwi, and every kangaroo, too,
The wallaby, the weka, and the platypus and emu,
Have made themselves a Christmas tree with stars and shining bright,
So Sticky Beak will see the way to guide the sleigh tonight.
Now Sticky Beak the kiwi, that Maori-land dictator,
Will not allow Rudolph’s nose this side of the equator
So when you hear the sleigh bells ring you’ll know that he’s the boss,
And Sticky Beak will pull the sleigh beneath the Southern Cross.
My favorite is I’ll be home for Christmas. This year none of our kids or grandkids will be home so it’s a really sad song this year. Thanks for a chance at the presents Megan. They sell the chairs at a rent to own store outright for a really good price and in awesome shape even though they are used.
“What Child is This” Love it!
I have two favorites Away in a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem.
I’ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.
My favorite Christmas song is “Joseph’s Lullaby” sung by MercyMe:
Go to sleep, my son,
This manger for your bed.
You have a long road before you,
Rest your little head.
Can you feel the weight of your glory?
Do you understand the price?
Does the Father guard your heart for now
So you can sleep tonight?
Go to sleep, my son,
Go and chase your dreams.
This world can wait for one more moment.
Go and sleep in peace.
I believe the glory of heaven
Is lying in my arms tonight.
Lord, I ask that he, for just this moment
Simply be my child.
Go to sleep, my son.
Baby, close your eyes
Soon enough, you’ll save the day
But for now, dear child of mine,
Oh, my Jesus, sleep tight.
It’s a beautiful song!! It really makes you think about how Mary and Joseph must’ve felt.
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas
Do you hear what I hear? I love the harmony and various renditions of this beautiful song, and I love singing it.
SO with have two young boys we watch polar express alot and I really like the Hot Chocolate song in the movie and on the soundtrack. Hot, hot hot hot chocolate, here we only have one rule never ever let it cool(some lyrics)
My favorite is the old “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee. I’m just getting started with the Cricut rage, so love your site and all the new stuff to play with.
Jackie
oh holy night…the stars are brightly shining……..but I will always stop and sing when the hippo song comes on!
Silent 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
“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”. I’m not sure this is my favorite Christmas song but it’s just the first one that popped into my head.
Joy to the World the Lord has come, let every heart prepare him room….! Thanks for all the fun Rubie!
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. My dad loved chestnuts at Christmas time. We both would eat them, no one else liked them. That song reminds me of my dad at Christmas.
Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snooooow!
Jingle Bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. Takes me back to all the past Christmas fun.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year….
Megan, I hope you get your chairs. Looks like you have lots of ideas to look for them if Santa doesn’t bring them for you. But I think you have been a very good little girl so here’s hoping…
I don’t necessarily have a favorite Christmas song-I love them all…even Grandma got run over by a reindeer, especially since I’m a Granny. Merry Christmas!
Good luck finding new chairs….I think my favorite Christmas carol is Away in a Manger oh, and I also love I’ll have a blue Christmas without you.
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining, it is the night of our dear Savior’s birth . I love all the Christmas carols. We have the radio tuned to the stations that play them all day.
It’s a Green Christmas for Me-that’s what’s on my radio right now.
My favorite Christmas song by far is “Mary, did you know ?” !!!! Hope you find some chairs that you like. I’d personally love a new mattress. That will definitely have to be the next big purchase we make.
Love your wish lists. I can’t pick just 1 song. Any carol that celebrates Jesus’ birth. Love O’ Holy Night. What Child is this, Silent Night, Love them.
Thank you Megan!
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…six chairs for Megan. I hope you find your chairs.
Last christmas I gave you my heart and the very next day you gave it away-Wham
I have another fave this year from Alvin and the Chipmunks called Ho Ho Ho, but I don’t know the lyrics by heart yet.
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose” – I always think that Rudolph needs some powder on that sucker 🙂
So many favorites, but two that speak to me are: Mary Did You Know……when you kiss your little boy you’ve kissed the face of God…………………………………….and……………………………….Oh Come All Ye Faithful. The chorus says: ” O come let us adore Him; O come let us adore Him; O come let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.” I think we could sing this every Sunday morning as part of our worship. I sometimes do sing it in my heart, at that time. Blessings on you, Megan. It’s refreshing to find a young adult who values living by Christian principles. Hope you get your chairs 🙂
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright……
What is not to love
O Holy Night and What Child Is This….I get chills when I hear these songs, of course, I love singing them at the top of my lungs and I wish that people enjoyed hearing them as much as I enjoy singing them…(I can’t sing very well!), but to me I sound great and it’s more about what you sing, right?
Thanks!
Wow! so nice of you to give all this stuff away thank you for a chance to win.
My favorite song is silent night.
Dashing through the snow……. As soon as I hear that verse, it puts a smile on my face!
Thanks for being so generous and for the opportunity to win.
O Little Town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie… I love the arrangement by Amy Grant.
Secular – Star Wars Christmas CD, we listen to it every year!!!!
I love them all! But my faves are the real ones about Christ. Oh holy night is my fave!
One of my favs is by Trans-Siberian Orchestra – AN ANGEL RETURNED.
The first lines are:
An angel returned
That night through the sky
But time it was short
He had to decide
Oh Holy Night, the stars are brightly shining! Oh and I just love “Baby, its cold outside”!!!
Oh my favorite has to be O Holly Night, it just gives me the shivers every time I hear it—–Thanks Nancy
My favorite Christmas song is “Mary, Did You Know”. One line is . . . Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
I’ve been singing “Light of the Stable”….”Hail, hail to the newborn King. Let our voices sing Him our praises”
My all time fave Christmas Carol is O Holy Night. And no one, I mean NO ONE sings it better than Josh Groban. Gives me chills every time.
“Oh Holy night, the stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth.”
I love my antique chairs but when you see antique, read OLD! I have to work on them all the time and having one of my darling Grands pick a bunch of the laminated wood off one about broke my heart. Yes, they did laminate back that long ago and you can buy the stuff to fix it at Lowe’s ect. I’ll keep them the rest of my life and the little ones will grow up, darn it. But now I have my first Great Grand. How neat is that?
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN.. one of my favorites… It always put me in the mood for Christmas.. My Bday is Christmas Eve..so winning would be a great gift! Thanks Meagan

i learned something interesting that I thought I would share. On Dec. 3rd I went with my mom to the women’s Advent by Candlelight Night of the Father’s Love. Because of Christ’s birth, all is well between God and us. For through this great gift from heaven, we are reconciled with God and can experience holy peace in our souls and new life in Christ. To celebrate this new life, we come to sing “Nowell.” Some scholars believe that the word, “Nowell,” began as a shortened form of the phrase “Now all is well.” In old England, perhaps people used this as the Christmas greeting., “Christ is born,” to which would come the response, “Nowell!”
The first Nowell, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the KIng of Isreal.
OK…so there’s this song I can’t get out of my head because it’s been playing on the radio alot and I like…unlike my teenage daughters….they are NOT big fans…go figure. Anyway, it’s Justin Bieber’s song Mistletoe “Word on the street santa’s coming tonight, Reindeer’s flying in the sky so high I should be making a list I know But I’ma be under the mistletoe”….LOVE IT!
“Fall on your knees. Oh hear the angel voices”. O Holy Night of course!!!
Ooh…so hard because I have so many favorites…Actually, the songs I really love do not have lyrics. I love the ‘March’ & ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ from the Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky.
