Everybody Sing!

This is my favorite Christmas song.  Most people don't know it because its from Christmas Eve On Sesame Street, a movie they've probably never seen.  But I want to share the words because they truly are beautiful.


True Blue Miracle
(Written by Carol Hall )

I believe in miracles and I can tell you why
Once a year the street I live on sparkles like the sky
All hung with lights for Christmas
Twinkling every where.
The world turns bright for Christmas
And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is. 

I believe in miracles. I know because I've seen
Once a year the place I walk is filled with trees of green
And pine cone smells of Christmas
Floating through the air
To jingle bells of Christmas
And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is.

But the greatest wonder of them all
Is not what's happening around you, it's the way
You start to be...
Yes the greatest wonder of them all is how your
Heart is filled with love
You start to light up like a Christmas tree!

Feelings feel so wonderful
You have to let them show
Maybe that's why everyone begins to get a glow
And fill their hearts with Christmas
Spirit they can share
That's the best part of Christmas
And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is 

And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is.


Merry Christmas, everyone!  Enjoy the time with your family and friends!

Awwww....

Merry Christmas to you, too Quags. I hope it won't be too difficult for you all, but I'm sure you'll find something good to share together.

I'm pleased to call you a friend, and look forward to that continuing in 2008.

Big hugs and smoochies! xx

Thanks Caz! *big hugs right back at ya* I'm so glad you are my friend too.

Christmas actually was really nice, all things considered. We were all together and there was a lot of laughter (and food too!) It helped.

*plonks Santa hat on your head*

*gives you massive, bonecrushing hug*

[quaggy]

*teaches you the words to Oscar the Grouch's "I Hate Christmas"*

*puts reindeer antlers on your head in return*

*hugs back very, very hard*

Merry Christmas, Tessa!!

Eee! I love that song. I'm actually trying to find a DVD version of the special - my family's wonn out the VHS tape we have.

And it's not strange that I still remember the sign language for 'Keep Christmas With You', right?

Hugs and Merry Christmas, dear.

[quaggy]

HEE! I knew I liked you for a reason!! :-D

I have the DVD version! Try Amazon. They were still selling them when last I checked. (You're not in the UK, are you? I mean the US version.)

Merry Christmas Zinke!!
