Christmas Carols: I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In

This may be the last Christmas Carol I post. I hope you've enjoyed this rather small series of Christmas Carol lyrics. Blessings to you and Merry Christmas.

I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day?
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas day in the morning?

Our Savior Christ and His lady,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
Our Savior Christ and His lady,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Pray whither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day?
Pray whither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas day in the morning?

O they sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
O they sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the angels in Heav’n shall sing,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
And all the angels in Heav’n shall sing,
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the souls on Earth shall sing,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
And all the souls on Earth shall sing,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice amain,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day;
Then let us rejoice amain,
On Christmas day in the morning.

Santa and His Snacks


So we have a wonderful time visiting Santa on Saturday and on the way home the boys begin talking about Santa's snacks. According to them, Santa said to be sure Daddy puts out carrots for the reindeer and he prefers chocolate chip cookies, or a brownie, and a glass of milk.

Oh, great. And who do you think gets the carrots? Hmmm?

Yup. The sacrifices we dads make.

We visited Santa this past Saturday. The boys were wonderful! We always look forward to this visit and can't wait until next year.

Bush Impeachment?

From the AJC.com...Lewis calls for Bush impeachment

If someone with a lick of common sense could tell me where was U.S. Representative John Lewis when Clinton deliberately lied to the people of the United States? No seriously, I want to know. Did Lewis support Clinton's impeachment? If you're going judge apples, let's do it equally. If not, then don't bother bringing up the "impeachment" word.

And don't bother with this, "Well, Bush had people illegally wire-tapped..." garbage. So what? If he had a reason for the safety and security of the people of these United States, then let it be done. But most of you uneducated, misinformed, and doped up fools won't understand since you believe your rights were violated.

Allow me just a moment here. Oh, yeah...

September 11, 2001 my rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were seriously altered by a bunch of Muslim extremists.

Let Bush wire-tap all he wants to. He's only after those who would do us harm.

Joe Lieberman

FoxNews.com...Disgruntled Dems Consider Challenge to Lieberman

Joe Lieberman is a Moderate - through and through. There are many issues that I agree with him on, and many I don't. Mr. Lieberman recently paid a visit to Iraq to witness the progress going on there and wrote a very detailed and positive summary. He DID NOT make criticisms against President Bush nor did he affirm the President's position. What he did do was support the troops serving in Iraq and their efforts to stabilize the country. For this act, I am grateful to Mr. Lieberman.

However with all the good Mr. Lieberman is doing, it now seems the liberal Democrats in Connecticut are very unhappy. Why? Because they claim he's out of touch with "reality", that he's "not toting the party line". Yet the real truth is that the liberals in this country are the ones out of touch with what Americans want. They don't understand why so many Americans want moral values and leaders they can trust. Liberals sway on issues that mean the most to us (not in any particular order): abortion, health care, terrorism, taxes, taxes, and more darn taxes. They can't seem to agree with each other how to best handle these issues. Sadly, many of them side with their conservative counterparts and keep spending, spending, and more darn spending.

The liberals should take a lesson from Mr. Lieberman: a moderate approach is the best one if the Democrats are to have a good contender in the next election. If they keep up their bickering, they'll turn Americans away, once again, from electing the next President of the United States.
