JUNE Challenge-Frosty the Snowman

Happy June!

This year, our theme is Songs of Christmas.

The sixth song is

Frosty the Snowman

Be inspired by the song theme, a line, a phrase or a word!

Here are the words.

~~~~~~

Frosty, the snowman was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And eyes made out of coal

Frosty, the snowman is a fairy tale, they say

He was made of snow, but the children know

That he came to life one day

There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around

Oh Frosty, the snowman was as live as he could be

And the children say he could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me

Oh, thumpety, thump, thump, thumpety, thump, thump

Look at Frosty go, thumpety thump thump

Thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow

Ah Frosty, the snowman knew the sun was hot that day

So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun

Now, before I melt away"

Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand

Runnin' here and there, all around the square

Sayin', "Catch me if you can"

He led them down the streets of town

Right to the traffic cop

He only paused a moment

When he heard him holler, "Stop"

Because ol' Frosty, the snowman, he had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye sayin', "Don't you cry

I'll be back again some day, I'll be back again some day

I'll be back again some day"

Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

Oh, you will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

Happy March!

This year, our theme is Songs of Christmas.

The third song is

Away in a Manger

Be inspired by the song theme, a line, a phrase or a word!

Here are the words.

Away in a manger

No crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus

Lay down His sweet head

The stars in the sky

Look down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing

The poor baby wakes

But little Lord Jesus

No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus

Look down from the sky

And stay by my side

'Til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus

I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever

And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children

In Thy tender care

And take us to heaven

To live with Thee there

Take us to heaven

To live with Thee there

FEBRUARY Challenge-Jingle Bells

Merry February!

This year, our theme is Songs of Christmas.

The second song is

Jingle Bells

Be inspired by the song theme, a line, a phrase or a word!

Here are the words.

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

[Chorus]

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon, Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

He got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot

Here are the design team creations.

JANUARY Challenge-The Christmas Song

Happy New Year!!!

We hope you've had a great Holiday and are well-rested and enjoyed friends and family.

This year, our theme is Songs of Christmas.

The first song is

The Christmas Song

Be inspired by the song theme, a line, a phrase or a word!

Here are the words:

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

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

They know that Santa's on his way

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

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if a reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to 92

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to 92

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you
