For millions of people all over the world, Christmas brings the joy and
happiness and childhood memories. Neighborhoods and entire city blocks light up
the night with twinkling lights and the sounds of carolers spreading the Christmas
cheer.
Folks walk the malls whistling let it snow while shopping for the perfect gift.
Decorations of green, red and gold bring smiles to people passing by while familiar
aromas of pine trees and cinnamon fills the air. Christmas is the one time of the
year the general theme for all is happiness. From the excitement of Christmas
morning to the endless supply of the Christmas turkey and waves of deserts,
Christmas is the time that we wish could last all year.

Tips for a perfect Christmas turkey
Before you cook or do anything else
with the turkey you need to remove
the giblets, make sure if you are
keeping them to put them in a clean
separate container and that you was
down anything they come into contact
with throughly, including your hands!
When you cook the turkey you have to
decide if you are going to cook the
stuffing inside the turkey or
separately. It is safer to cook it by
itself as this then allows the heat
inside the cavity in the turkey and
help to cook it. If you put stuffing in
the turkey then you will have to allow
it to cook for longer (maybe 15-20
minutes longer) as it will take longer
for it to cook the turkey and the
stuffing properly

Lyrics to your favorite Christmas
songs
This weeks featured song lyric :
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
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.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Words and lyrics by:
Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne 1945.
