Welcome to Day 11 of our December Event.
My name is Diane and I will be your host today.

You are invited to the Oscraps December Sing-A-Long.
Let's get into the Christmas spirit and join me in this game.
It is very easy.

I will give you a word and you will find a December/Christmas song that
contains that word.

For example
When I ask for a song with the word COUNTDOWN
you will find a song with this word in the lyrics or title
and post it here.

So your answer will look like this:

Song by band Europe - the final countdown

… We're leavin' together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?
… It's the final countdown
The final countdown

Next you can ask for a new song by giving a new word.

Don't forget to sing-a-long!
You never know who is listening!

It's that easy!


So the next word I am looking for is: DECEMBER

Good luck and have fun!

[Angelique]

Song:
Back to December by Taylor Swift

So this is me swallowin' my pride
Standin' in front of you sayin' I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you
Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time

The word I am looking for is Night

 

[Christi]

So Silent Night is the obvious choice here!
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

[Verse 2]
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

[Verse 3]
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

So let's go for the obvious next - DAY

 

[webfrau]

Silver Bells by Bing Crosby

[Silver bells, silver bells]
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling [ring-a-ling],
Hear them ring [ting-a-ling]
Soon it will be Christmas day.

Next Word: Reindeer

 

[ViVre]

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer by John Denver

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.

Next word: angels

 

[cinderella2009]

Angels - Song by Robbie Williams

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

Next word: Rain

 

[nobles]

November Rain by Guns n' Roses

Nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

I have to redo it as a December/Christmas song is required. Didn't find a Christmas song with rain, but a December song.

December Rain (Carol of Love) by Craymo
Autumn leaves are on my mind
Taking a chance on you a chance on me
How can I see the warning signs
When all I feel for you is sympathy

In my heart, there's a place for you
But you don't feel, you don't feel like I do, oh

December Rain December Rain
December Rain December Rain
....

next word: Star

 

[Veronika]

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR​

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night

Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
He could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so


In the dark blue sky you keep
And often through my curtains peep
For you never shut your eye
′Til the sun is in the sky

And as you bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark
Though I know not what you are
Twinkle, twinkle little star

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

How I wonder what you are

Next word is mountain

 

[Josie Scraps]

Go, tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! Above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And brought us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born

Next word: White

 

[Su_Sanne]

Bing Crosby - I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

I′m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

Next word delightful

 

[cfile]

Let it Snow - Sung by Dean Martin

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Man it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you'd love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow and snow!


(Songwriters: Jule Styne / Sammy Cahn)

Next word: Holly

 

[Lori Ann]

Holly Jolly Christmas
Song by Michael Bublé

Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Now I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet .......

Next word: mistletoe

 

[Robloz55]

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom fast asleep.

Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.


Next word - TRAIN

 

[GraceJ]

Song: Last train to London by Electric Light Orchestra
It was nine twenty-nine
Nine twenty-nine, back street, big city
The sun was going down
There was music all around, it felt so right

It was one of those nights
One of those nights when you feel the world stop turning
You were standing there
There was music in the air

I should have been away
But I knew I had to stay

Last train to London
Just heading out
Last train to London
Just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

Nest word - Wonderful

 

[hoodsmom]

Most wonderful time of the year

It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
Yes the most wonderful time
Oh the most wonderful time
Of the year

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, We're happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? We'll say: No man, But you can do the job When you're in town. Later on, we'll conspire, As we dream by the fire To face unafraid, The plans that we've made, Walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman, Until the other kids knock him down. When it snows, ain't it thrilling, Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland. Walking in a winter wonderland, Walking in a winter wonderland. Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Felix Bernard / Richard B. Smith Winter Wonderland lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc

Winter by Khalid
Song by Khalid



II lost my heart in the nighttime
She left me out in the cold
She left me broken and weary
Drunk off the lies she told
I fell in love in the morning
But when the day gets cold
I'm back to life in my lonely
City of El Paso
But the days get harder in November
Love grows colder in the winter
All the things you say, I'll remember
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Love grows colder in the winter
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
I lost my mind when you left me
And I didn't have much of that
But you were so quick to reject me
So I'll take my time being sad
I fell so hard, I'll admit it
The feeling wasn't mutual
So I'm back to live on my lonely
In the city of El Paso
But the days get harder in November
Love grows colder in the winter
All the things you say, I'll remember
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Love grows colder in the winter
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise that you'll keep my love (keep my love)
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise, promise, promise
Promise, promise that you'll keep my love (keep my love)
But the days get harder in November
Love grows colder in the winter
All the things you say, I'll remember
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya
Love grows colder in the winter
Promise that you'll keep my love with ya

Next: SNOW

Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas looked out,
on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
deep and crisp and even;
Brightly shone the moon that night,
tho’ the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
gath’ring winter fuel.

“Hither, page, and stand by me,
if thou know’st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?”
“Sire, he lives a good league hence,
underneath the mountain;
Right against the forest fence,
by Saint Agnes’ fountain.”

“Bring me flesh, and bring me wine,
bring me pine logs hither:
Thou and I will see him dine,
when we bear them thither.”
Page and monarch, forth they went,
forth they went together;
Through the rude wind’s wild lament
and the bitter weather.

“Sire, the night is darker now,
and the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, I know not how;
I can go no longer.”
“Mark my footsteps, good my page.
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter’s rage
freeze thy blood less coldly.”

In his master’s steps he trod,
where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod
which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor,
shall yourselves find blessing.

next: Love

 

[Cath VP]

Love Me Tender

Love me tender
Love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling, I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
Love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling, I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
Love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
'Til the end of time
Love me tender
Oh, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling, I love you
And I always will
For my darling, I love you
And I always will

Snowflakes

 

[BrightEyes]

Winter Fantasy

Snowflakes falling all over town,
Slipping, sliding ev’rybody rushin’ around.
There’s an icy chill in the air,
Telling us that winter’s really here.
Oh! I’m so glad that winter is here.
Grab your sled and let out a happy cheer,
Because it’s snowing, blowing all through the day.
Winter winds will surely blow all your cares away. Hey!

Bells

 

[wvufan04]

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day


I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet their songs repeat
Of peace on Earth, good will to men
And the bells are ringing (peace on Earth)
Like a choir they're singing (peace on Earth)
In my heart I hear them (peace on Earth)
Peace on Earth, good will to men

For the next word - Snowman

 

[newbie2digi]

Frosty the Snowman - Gene Autry

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale, they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How 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 alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song
Oh, 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
And he only paused a moment
When he heard him holler, "Stop!"
Hmm, Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump
Over the hills of snow!

I would like the word peace.

 

[marijke]

Peace on Earth - U2

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of the pain
Sick of hearing
Again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth
Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you
It's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt
Jesus, can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line?
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth ...

I would like the word 'STAR'

 

[~Karen~]

We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.

Next Song: Baby

 

[tanteva]

I really can’t stay
(But baby its cold outside)
I’ve got to go away
(But baby it’s cold outside)
This evening has been so very nice
(Been hoping that you’d drop in)
(I’ll hold your hands. They’re just like ice)
My mother will start to worry,
(Beautiful what’s your hurry?)
and Father will be pacing the floor
(Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I better scurry!
(Beautiful please don’t hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more
(Put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think
(Baby it’s bad out there)
Say.. what’s in this drink
(No cares to be had out there)
I wish I knew how.... to break the spell
(Your eyes are like starlight now)
(I’ll take your hat) *gasps* (your hair looks swell)
I outta say NO! NO! NO! sir
(Mind if I move in closer?)
At least I’m gonna say that I tried!
(What’s the sense of hurtin’ my pride?)
I really can’t stay
(Baby don’t hold out)
Ah but it’s cold outside!
(Baby it’s cold outside!)

**Musical break**

I simply must go
(But baby it’s cold outside)
The answer is NO
(But baby it’s cold outside)
This welcome has been so nice and warm
(How lucky that you dropped in)
(Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious!
(Gosh your lips look delicious!)
My brother will be there at the door!
(Waves upon a tropical shore!)
My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious
(Ooh your lips are delicious)
Well maybe just a cigarette more
(Never such a blizzard before)
I’ve got to get home!
(But baby you’ll freeze out there!)
Say… lend me a comb?
(It’s up to your knees out there)
You really been grand!
(I thrill when u touch my hand)
But don’t you see?
(How can you do this thing to me?)
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow
(Think of my life long sorrow…)
At least there be plenty implied!
(If you caught pneumonia and died!!)
I really can’t stay!
(Get over that old Alf)*****
But it’s cold outside!
(Ooh baby it’s cold outside!)

Next word: LIGHTS

 

[chai]

Christmas Lights by Cold Play

Christmas night
Another fight
Tears we cried a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Of poison in my blood
I took my feet to Oxford street
Trying to right a wrong
"Just walk away" those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Up above candles on air flicker
Oh, they flicker, and they flow
And I'm up here holding onto
All those chandeliers of hope
And like some drunken Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Singing how I always loved you, darling
And I always will
Oh, when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
And then all my troubles will be gone
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights keep shining on

Next Word: town

 

[hkeith87]

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

He's going to find out

next word is TREE

 

[chocochoco]

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
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
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

next word COUNTRY

 

[Pia/Pippin]

Country Roads by John Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Next word: STAR
