Feliz Navidad in Santiago de Compostela


A magnificent walk through the streets of Santiago de Compostela two weeks before Christmas.
What is that?  Can you hear it?  Listen carefully......
......I hear Christmas carols....


"Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad

Prospero año y felicidad"
"I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry ChristmasI wanna wish you a merry ChristmasFrom the bottom of my heart"


"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air"



"What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh"


"Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock."


"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"


"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear"


"Silver bells, (silver bells) silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring, (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day"


"Strings of street lights, even stoplights
Blinkin' bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big day
And above all this bustle you hear"


"Silver bells (The corner Santa Claus)
Silver bells (Is busy now because)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, it fills the winter air
Hear them ring, you hear it everywhere
Soon it will be Christmas day."




"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos"


"Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight"


"They know that Santa's on his way,
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer's really know how to fly"


"And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although' it's been said many times, many ways;
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you."




"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."


"Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay."


"Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away"


"Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more"


"Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest place"


"So have yourself a merry little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
So have yourself a merry little 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"


"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white"


"Oh, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white."


"I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree"


"Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams."





Deb and I are heading home in about a week for Christmas with our family and friends in Canada.
The most amazing country in the world...and we are blessed with the most incredible family and friends in the world.
Peace, health and happiness to you all.
Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Years.
