Christmas on Sesame Street [Song]

CHRISTMAS ON SESAME STREET

By Lord Relator

Is things like this that gets me mad, who stole the rubbish from my yard?
[Christmas is here once again!]
Who came and paint in red and green? They only spoil my rubbish bin.
[Christmas is here once again!]
All little girls, all little boys, they hang up stockings to get toys.
[Christmas is here once again!]

Look, put those stockings back on your feet
There is no Christmas on Sesame Street
There is no jolly, good, old Santa
You can take this tip from Oscar
There's no Christmas on Sesame Street.

If I had caught that naughty kid who swept the cobwebs from my lid
[Christmas is here once again!]
He get such spanking on his rear, he doesn't sit down for a year
[Christmas is here once again!]
Those awful Christmas songs they sing, it only makes my ear bell ring.
[Christmas is here once again!]

Look, put those stockings back on your feet
There is no Christmas on Sesame Street
If you believe I make big mistake,
You may well believe in Mandrake
There's no Christmas on Sesame Street.

Someone they sneak up from behind and took away some things of mine
[Christmas is here once again!]
My empty cans and broken springs, they gone with all my precious things
[Christmas is here once again!]
If they don't bring back all my stuff, I'm going to give someone a cuff.
[Christmas is here once again!]

Look, put those stockings back on your feet
There is no Christmas on Sesame Street
If you think I give up for Christmas
All my junk and apparatus
There's no Christmas on Sesame Street.

Those little brats, they put by me a decorated Christmas tree
[Christmas is here once again!]
The way they talk 'bout Santa Claus, it makes me wonder now because
[Christmas is here once again!]
I think I'll do like every kid and hang old stockings on my lid
[Christmas is here once again!]

So hang your stockings and your holly wreath
Soon it be Christmas on Sesame Street
[And if you are a grouch like Oscar
You wouldn't get a thing from Santa
When it's Christmas on Sesame Street.]

I Love Christmas [Song]

I LOVE CHRISTMAS
By Designer

Merry Christmas everybody!

I like the lighting up for Divali
For the Carnival I will shake up mih body
When the Hosay drums roll, my blood gets real hot
Labour Day I showing solidarity but...

My favourite time of the year is Christmas
For me there is no other time like Christmas
New Year's and Easter on my agenda as precious and sublime
But I love Christmas time.

Give me fruit caka, sorrel and ginger beer
Send a Christmas card just to show how much you care
I believe in gentle Jesus and Santa Clause
I always welcome the month of December because...

My favourite time of the year is Christmas
For me there is no other time like Christmas
New Year's and Easter on my agenda as precious and sublime
But I love Christmas time.

Man is Christmas time again and I love it!

Parang music always makes me dance
Sing an aguinaldo and I does start to prance
Every time I look at a Christmas tree aglow
I will get excited and stimulated so...

My favourite time of the year is Christmas
For me there is no other time like Christmas
New Year's and Easter on my agenda as precious and sublime
But I love Christmas time....

Ribbons [Song]

RIBBONS
By Marilyn Williams

When the winds get cold in December, your love's the flaming ember
That's a fire that keeps up together when those chilly breezes blow
As the nights get long and lonely, if you're not around to phone me
Just to say you love me only and you know I love you so.

Let's stay together through this Christmas and forever
Tie your ribbons of love all over me
Be my present on my tree, stay with me.

Tis not the cards or bells a-jingling or the shops where friends are mingling
It's your love that keep me tingling through those city's traffic jams
All the parang, all the singing, all the cheer that friends are bringing
Well it all adds up to nothing if you're not here in my arms.

Let's stay together through this Christmas and forever
Tie your ribbons of love all over me
Be my present on my tree, stay with me.

There is no Christmas without your love
There is no Christmas without your love.

See my eyes are flushed with feeling when I think that I'm believing
How your love just keeps me reeling through this Christmas and New Year
Let our love lights always glimmer, keep our love forever tender
And wrap me all December in the ribbons or your care.

Let's stay together through this Christmas and forever
Tie your ribbons of love all over me
Be my present on my tree, stay with me, stay with me
Won't you stay with me?
Baby, stay with me
Come and stay with me, stay with me.

Coming out of your closet: Ash Beckham at TEDxBoulder


Uploaded by TEDxTalks
..............................................................................................................................


A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Ash Beckham.

"Sure, I'll give you a hundred reasons why coming out of my closet
was harder than coming out of yours but here is the thing
- hard is not relative, hard is hard.
Who can tell me that explaining to someone you just declared bankruptcy
is harder than telling someone you just cheated on them?
Who can tell me that his coming out story
is harder than telling your five-year old you're getting a divorce?

There is no harder. There is just hard.

We need to stop ranking our hard against everyone else's hard
to make us feel better or worse about our closets,
and just commiserate on the fact that we all have hard.

At some point in our lives we all live in closets and they may feel safe,
or at least safer than what lies on the other side of that door,
but I am here to tell you no matter what your walls are made of, 
a closet is no place for a person to live."

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
