Santa HatsThese crispy confections are brimming with kid appeal.

2 egg whites, at room • temperature1/2 tsp cream of tartar• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract• 1/2 cup sugar• red coloured sugar•

Heat oven to 200F. With an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks start to form. Beating all the while, add the cream of tartar and vanilla extract, then slowly add the 1/2 cup of sugar. Continue to beat until the peaks stiffen.

Spoon the meringue into a quart-size plastic bag. Snip off a corner and pipe 2 dozen 1 1/2 inch-tall Santa hat triangles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should have about 1/4 of the meringue left.

Sprinkle the triangles with the red sugar, then use the remaining meringue to give each one a pom-pom and trim. Bake the hats until they’re hard but not browned, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the hats in it for an hour to crisp before removing.

He sings a love song, as we go alongWalking in a winter wonderlandIn the meadow we can build a snowmanAnd pretend that he is Parson BrownHe’ll say, “Are you married?”

We’ll say, “No, man.But you can do the job while you’re in town.”Later on, we’ll conspireAs we dream by the fi reTo face unafraid, the plans that we madeWalking in a winter wonderland

City sidewalks, busy sidewalksDressed in holiday styleIn the air there’s a feeling of ChristmasChildren laughing, people passingMeeting smile after smileAnd on every street corner you hear

ChorusSilver bells, silver bellsIt’s Christmas time in the cityRing-a-ling, hear them ringSoon it will be Christmas dayStrings of street lights, even stop lightsBlink a bright red and greenAs the shoppers rush home with

their treasuresHear the snow crunch, see the kids bunchThis is Santa’s big sceneAnd above all this bustle you hearRepeat Chorus

Frosty the SnowmanFrosty the snowman was a jolly happy soulWith a corncob pipe and a button noseAnd two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they sayHe was made of snow, but the children knowHow he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they foundFor when they placed it on his headHe began to dance around. Oh!

Frosty the snowman was alive as he could beAnd the children say he could laugh and playJust the same as you and me

Frosty the snowman, knew the sun was hot that daySo he said let’s run and we’ll have some funNow before I melt away

Down to the village, with a broomstick in his handRunning here and there all around the squareSaying catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of townRight to a traffi c copAnd he only paused a moment when He heard him holler “Stop!”

For Frosty the snowmanHad to hurry on his wayBut he waved goodbyeSaying don’t you cryI’ll be back again some day

12 Days of Christmas

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes;I love Thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky,And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose 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.
