Christmas caroling

[pam]

*sings* Do you hear what I hear? Swoooooshhhhh

[Iggy]

This question just popped into my head, and excuse me for going off topic, but do the greeters at Walmart have to take classes before they are allowed to clean the baskets and line them up for the next customer? Does it take much specialized training to run the scan gun they use to deactivate the anti-theft strips that the cashier forgot to do? Sorry for interrupting, Iggy, but it just came to me and bugged me for a minute.

John, I don't know. The only test I know of that the greeters have to take is the mirror test. A mirror is held up under their nose to see if they are breathing. I am beginning to think that is the only test for any of the WalMart workers!!!

[Iggy]

Could you find out? Cause I think my dad would be perfect for the job. He's only 82. He just wouldn't be able to sit in a class with some snot-nosed 32 year-old associate junior manager of the boy's clothing department telling him what to do. He'd probably strangle the punk with his ID lanyard after about an hour. So, if there is some way he could bypass the class on how to ignore customers standing next to you saying 'excuse me, can I get some help?' that would be great.

If he does get hired on and he does do that can you please take a video of it and post it on youtube?? No, sell it on Ebay- Oh, so funny.

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb,

do you see what I see

Way up in the sky, little lamb,

do you see what I see

A star, a star, dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite

[pushka]

I heard the bells on Christmas day, their old familiar carols play, - - -

Iggy, we sang this at church today, and all I could think of was this thread! I must admit that the lyrics at first seem quite depressing, but the overall message is good.

I gotta hand it to the guys who first replied, however..their humour/reactions to your choice of carols was superb!!

If you missed the Music and the Spoken word program today, it was awesome. Brian Stokes Mitchell sang and Edward Hermann narrated a Christmas program. They were great.

In case you didn't understand the swoosh..It was the sound of the comments going over Kona's head.

Yet if I make fun of a moderator I get banned. Love the double standards.

[pam]

I guess you don't handle humor well.

Said the little lamb to the shepard boy

Do you hear what I hear

Ringing through the sky shepard boy

Do you hear what I hear

A song, a song

High above the tree

With a voice as big as the sea

[pam]

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,

"Do you know what I know?

In your palace warm, mighty king,

Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--

Let us bring him silver and gold,

Let us bring him silver and gold."

[Truegrits]

Said the king to the people everywhere

Listen to what I say

Pray for peace people everywhere

Listen to what I say

The child, the child

Sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light

[pam]

That's one of my all time Christmas songs...as long as it's sung by Johnny Mathis. I get goosebumps when I hear him sing it.

[Iggy]

In case you didn't understand the swoosh..It was the sound of the comments going over Kona's head.

Oh, Duh- I was so into singing- I just went with the song

[pam]

So what's the next song?

[Iggy]

That's one of my all time Christmas songs...as long as it's sung by Johnny Mathis. I get goosebumps when I hear him sing it.

CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

[pam]

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,

Help to make the season bright.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,

Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

[Iggy]

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And ev'ry mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

[Truegrits]

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

From kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways

[pam]

Merry Christmas to you.

[pam]

Hey Iggy just wanted to say I love your Christmas avatar. About time you got with the gingerbread man theme. lol

~~New Song~~

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

[pam]

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

[pam]

~~New Song~~

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

Oh now you are getting fancy!!
