Sleigh Ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
 Ring ting tingling too
 Come on, it's lovely weather
 For a sleigh ride together with you,
 Outside the snow is falling
 And friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
 Come on, it's lovely weather
 For a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
 Let's go, Let's look at the show,
 We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
 Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
 It's grand, Just holding your hand,
 We're gliding along with a song
 Of a wintry fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
 And comfy cozy are we
 We're snuggled up together
 Like two birds of a feather would be
 Let's take that road before us
 And sing a chorus or two
 Come on, it's lovely weather
 For a sleigh ride together with you.

There's a birthday party
 At the home of Farmer Gray
 It'll be the perfect ending 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. Pop! pop! pop!

There's a happy feeling
 Nothing in the world can buy,
 When they pass around the chocolate
 And the pumpkin pie
 It'll nearly be like a picture print
 By Currier and Ives
 These wonderful things are the things
 We remember all through our lives!

My Christmas sleighs with an upgrade of a few big bows just to fill them out again. I love these sleighs and don't know what I'm going to do when the poinsettias need replacing (which will be soon). Oh yeah, I have a friend that does floral arrangements. :)
