HAFA MERRY CHRISTMAS

My family and I still sing this
Guam Christmas song!
Tradition...pass it on.

Verse AND Chorus!
JUNGLE BELLS:
'Here we are on Guam, without a chance of snow!
Where the trade-winds go, a typhoons sure to blow!
Santa and his sleigh, if the tropics will allow,
instead of driving 8 reindeers, he rides a carabao!
CHORUS:
OH...JUNGLE BELLS, coconut shells,
sticker-burrs all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a carabao-cart today, HEY!'
JUNGLE BELLS, coconut shells,
sticker-burrs all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a carabao-cart today!'

Merry Christmas to all of you! I still miss those warm, breezy Christmas nights, caroling around the circle and no one caring how we circle rats sang. Just enjoying the moment :)

I'm still around.Busy as hell.Mostly I work.The diner is still pending.Location is everything.The original one didn't pan out but we're still eyeballing a couple other spots.Caroling around the circle. That takes me back man.Christmas in Deans Circle could not be beat.Everyone riding their new bikes,skates,and playing with their new stuff.Yea all was good on Christmas.

Merry Christmas to the Deans Circle Gang! My family are down in Naples Florida this year, so no chance of snow for us either. We'll be back in NH for New Years - we haven't had any white stuff yet, but I know that won't be the case for very long.

Ric Larson said...

Wow, I understand a lot of you Floridians had a cold and maybe even a white Christmas too?

Doug said...

Snow flurries Sunday. 18 degrees Monday morning. At least in Tallahassee.
It's all good. Knocks the mosquitoes down.
