Over the river and through the wood,

To Grandfather's house we go;

The horse knows the way

To carry the sleigh

Through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood,

Trot fast my dapple gray!

Spring over the ground

Like a hunting hound!

For this is Thanksgiving Day

Over the river and through the wood,

Now Grandmother's cap I spy!

Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?

Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

OVER THE RIVER

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh,

O’er the fields we go,

Laughing all the way;

Bells on bob-tail ring,

Making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way

O What fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

Joy to the world! The Lord is come.

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart

Prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing!

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods

Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and

grace,

And gives to nations proof

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love;

And wonders of His love;

And wonders of His love.

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

See the blazing Yule before us.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Strike the harp and join the cho-

rus.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Follow me in merry measure.

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

While I tell of Yule-tide treasure.

Jolly ol’ Saint Nicholas,

Lean your ear this way!

Don’t you tell a single soul

What I’m going to say:

Christmas Eve is coming soon;

Now, you dear old man

Whisper what you’ll bring to me;

Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking

twelve,

When I’m fast asleep

Down the chimney, broad and

black,

With your pack you’ll creep

All the stockings you will find

Hanging in a row

Mine will be the shortest one,

You’ll be sure to know.

Bobby wants a pair of skates,

Suzy wants a sled

Nellie wants a picture book,

Yellow, blue and red

Now I think I’ll leave to you

What to give the rest

Choose for me, dear Santa

Claus;

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose

and if you ever saw it

you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names

they never let poor Rudolph

join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve

Santa came to say,

"Rudolph with your nose so bright

won't you guide my sleigh to-

night?"

Then how the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee

(yippee)

"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

you'll go down in history."

And checking it twice;

Gonna find out Who's naughty

He knows if you've been bad or

So be good for goodness sake!

Candy Cane Day Saturday, December 15, 2012

For forty-seven years, Santa Claus has made

a special trip from the North Pole on a

Saturday before Christmas to visit Keizer

area children and hand out candy canes.

Santa has confirmed he will continue the

tradition whit a visit to Keizer on Saturday,

December 15th. Because Santa’s sleigh is

being tuned up for his rounds on Christmas

Eve, Santa will once again, be driven around

the area by Keizer Fire District fire trucks. They will

announce Santa’s arrival on neighborhood streets by sounding their sirens and making

announcements on the fire engine PA system.

This very special day is scheduled to begin at 9:00 am. Santa is scheduled to visit most

streets in the Keizer Fire District by the end of the day. District officials said the only

streets they will not be able to visit are short cul-de-sacs; residents on these streets

are encouraged to come to the fire engine when it stops at the end of their street.

The Keizer Fire District Volunteers Firefighters Association, sponsor of the event,

estimates Santa will distribute about one thousand dollars worth of candy canes (over

7,700 candy canes). The money for the candy canes comes from fund raising events,

such as pancake breakfasts, held by the association
