Carol of the Day


This morning on the Frank Beckman Show, "Santa" came by hologram from the North Pole and kids called in to give their wishes. I have been thinking of the Old Santa song from my childhood. Jolly old St. Nicholas.

Today I am thinking of the word "OLD" as so many of our Christmas celebrations are, and as I am becoming. I hope its very becoming. Always wanted to grow old gracefully, but time will tell if that is to be. Here is today's song. With the word "old" in it.

Jolly Old Saint Nicolas


Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
what I'm going to say:
Christmas Eve is coming soon;
now, you dear old man
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve,
when I'm fast asleep
Down the chimney, broad and black,
with your pack you'll creep
All the stockings you will find
hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one,
you'll be sure to know

Bobby wants a pair of skates,
Suzy wants a sled
Nellie wants a picture book,
yellow, blue, and red
Now I think I'll leave to you
what to give the rest
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus;
you will know the best.

Don't hear any music? Press this...
