Lighting A Christmas Tree


             O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
They're green when summer days are bright,
They're green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
Reminding me on Christmas Day
To think of you and then be gay.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
  Oh, Christmas tree isn't one of my favorite songs. I didn't even know all the words until now. Who am i kidding, I'm probably going to forget the lyrics before I press send on this blog. Christmas is the time of year when we gather around the tree and celebrate Christmas. Although, I'm sure our thoughts are mostly on what we're going to get under the tree, what we're going to eat and how cold my toes are standing out here with all these people. New Haven has a great Christmas tree lighting celebration-- Singing, apple cider, pop corn, camel rides, horse-drawn carriage rides, ?robotic animal rides?, pictures with "Santa" and Frosty the snowman and Ronald McDonald. I guess Ronald is just another clown in a costume to the kids.
