   My church had a Christmas eve service last night at 9:00 pm and actually got   
   to rehearse for an hour and a half before that, and it went great...lots of   
   traditional hymns and carols and myself and the Music Director, also on   
   keys, were the only musicians, but we sure played some great tunes:   
      
   The First Noel   
   Joy To The World   
   What Child Is This   
   Away In A Manger   
   Angels We Have Heard On High   
   It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, and finished off with Silent Night.   
   I wanted to also do O Little Town Of Bethlehem, O Come All Ye Faithful, and   
   Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, but we already did those in previous services   
   leading up too this one.

   Like "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas", "Pretty Little Dolly",   
   "Christmas Don't Be Late", "All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front   
   Teeth)", "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", or "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For   
   Christmas".   
      
   Or how about "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas", "Holly Jolly Christmas, and the   
   rest of the "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" soundtrack: "Jingle Jingle   
   Jingle", "We Are Santa's Elves, "We're A Couple Of Misfits", "The Most   
   Wonderful Day Of The Year", or "Run, Run Rudolph", "Here Comes Santa Claus",   
   "Up On The Housetop", "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", "The   
   Christmas Song", "The Man With All The Toys", "Santa Claus Is Coming To   
   Town" (Love the way Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band rocks and rolls   
   that one!), and the like.

   We had around 2" of snow here yesterday, talk about a white Christmas - only   
   problem was that the temperatures went into the low teens - it's 16 degrees   
   F right now in a clear sunny sky, and they're forcast to go even lower over   
   the coming week, as low as -1 F tomorrow night, and then stay in the low   
   single digits day and night after that - I HATE WINTER!!! WHERE is that   
   so-called 'global warming' when I Need it most? I'm Sick and tired of   
   hearing about it - I WANT TO *FEEL* IT!!!   
   I'm already sick of winter, and my two most hated four letter words, SNOW,   
   and COLD!!! And in keeping with the holiday spirit:   
      
   HO, HO, HO   
   I HATE SNOW,   
   I CAN'T WAIT,   
   TO SEE IT GO!!!   
   AND THAT'S NOT ALL,   
   THERE'S ALSO COLD,   
   ENOUGH ALREADY!   
   IT'S GOTTEN OLD!
