Kaleidoscope #858


Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing ring ting tingle-ing, too
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you 

 

Wishing you the merriest of holidays, filled with hugs and kisses, smiles and love!

Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a mingle to a jinglin’ beat
That’s the jingle bell rock

There’s a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It’ll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We’ll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop

Kaleidoscope #851


Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square
In the frosty air

Magic 
Sandra’s seen a leprechaun, 
Eddie touched a troll, 
Laurie danced with witches once, 
Charlie found some goblins gold. 
Donald heard a mermaid sing, 
Susy spied an elf, 
But all the magic I have known 
I’ve had to make myself.” 
― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

But magic is neither good nor evil. It is a tool, like a knife. Is a knife evil? Only if the wielder is evil.
