Fog and We Need A Little Christmas

Blessed is the influence

of one true, loving, human

soul on another.

--- George Eliot

When I got up this morning the fog was on the horizon. It looked like it was dissipating, but the next thing I knew the whole place was covered! Funny how that works. I was hoping to do some spray painting today, but don't know if it will be warm enough.....will try anyway....I think I got spoiled with our nice comfortable weather!

I also wanted to include the lyrics to the song

"We Need a Little Christmas".

So very melancholy.

I didn't realize it came from the musical "Mame".

Hope everyone knows the tune!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mame:

Haul out the holly;

Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.

Fill up the stocking,

I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now.

For we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute,

Candles in the window,

Carols at the spinet.

Yes, we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute.

It hasn't snowed a single flurry,

But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;

So climb down the chimney;

Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.

Slice up the fruitcake;

It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

For I've grown a little leaner,

Grown a little colder,

Grown a little sadder,

Grown a little older,

All:

And I need a little angel

Sitting on my shoulder,

Need a little Christmas now.

Mame:

Haul out the holly;

Well, once I taught you all to live each living day.

All:

Fill up the stocking,

Young Patrick:

But Auntie Man, it's one week from Thanksgiving Day now.

All:

But we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute,

Candles in the window,

Carols at the spinet.

Yes, we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute.

Agnes:

It hasn't snowed a single flurry,

But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;

Ito:

So climb down the chimney;

Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.

All:

Slice up the fruitcake;

It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

For we need a little music,

Need a little laughter,

Need a little singing

Ringing through the rafter,

And we need a little snappy"Happy ever after,"

Need a little Christmas now.

Need a little Christmas now.

HAVE A HARMONIOUS DAY!
