Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
There is so much to love about ChristmasFrom the sparkling lights brighten-ing up the nights, to the squeals of delighted children opening presents, there are special moments to be found everywhere. Everyone celebrates the season in their own way, but there are two things that can unite us all — great food and classic song. Traditions surrounding both form many of our cherished holiday memories. In this special edition of Cookies and Car-ols, we’ve collected recipes and songs to help you celebrate the season in a memorable way. Try a new cookie recipe, such as the Van De Pol’s Gevulde Koeken.
Or, make your Christmas cooking a little easier with the always-popular Christmas Morning Wifesaver. And when your bellies are full, gather up your loved ones for a sing-along. Better yet, rally together with your friends and neighbours for some old-fashioned caroling. You never know whose Christmas will be brightened by it!
Merry Christmasfrom the Observer
Jessica Peters Editor
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall... The most famous reindeer of all?
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.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say,
Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You’ll go down in history!

Warm Winter greeting from your one stop Christmas shop.
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in 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 stay
Close 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.
Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow, but the children know 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.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
over the hills of snow.
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,
Running here and there, all around the square,
sayin’, “Catch me if you can.”
He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffi c cop;
and only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, “Stop!”
For Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin’ “Don’t cry, I’ll be back again some day.”
Away in a Manger

The following is a recipe for a well-loved cookie I make each Christmas. The great thing about this recipe is you can store the rolls of dough in the freezer, cut and bake when the need arises for a batch of fresh, delicious cookies.
Chewy Cherry Chocolate Toffee Cookies Sift together:
1 and 1/2 cups fl our1 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside. Cream together: 1 cup butter3/4 cup white sugar3/4 cup brown sugar Scrape down bowl once or twice. Do not over-cream. Mix in:
1 egg1 teaspoon vanilla Gradually beat in the fl our mixture to the cream mixture. Mix in, in order listed: 1 and 1/2 cups rolled oats1 cup dried cherries (dried cranberries are good too)1 cup Skor bits1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate Directions:
Form dough into three equal rolls and chill for at least three hours. Slice 1/2” to 3/4” thick. Place only about 8 cookie discs on a tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes on the pan on a rack before removing. Baker’s note: 1 and 1/2 recipe barely fi ts in the bowl of a regular sized Kitchen Aid stand mixer.
