Winter WonderlandSleigh bells ring, are you listening?In the lane, snow is glisteningA beautiful sight, we’re happy tonightWalking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebirdHere to stay is the new birdHe sings a love song, as we go alongWalking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowmanAnd pretend that he is Parson BrownHe’ll say, “Are you married?” We’ll say, “No, man.But you can do the job while you’re in town.”
Later on, we’ll conspireAs we dream by the � reTo face unafraid, the plans that we madeWalking in a winter wonderland
Have Yourself aMerry Little ChristmasHave yourself a merry little ChristmasLet your heart be lightFrom now on your troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little ChristmasMake the Yuletide gayFrom now on your troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in golden days of yoreFaithful friends who are dear to usGather near to us, once more
Through the years we all will be togetherIf the fates allowHang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourselfA merry little Christmas, now

Silver BellsCity sidewalks, busy sidewalksDressed in holiday styleIn the air there's a feeling of ChristmasChildren laughing, people passingMeeting smile after smileAnd on every street corner you hear
Chorus:Silver bells, silver bellsIt's Christmas-time in the cityRing-a-ling, hear them ringSoon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights, even stop lightsBlink a bright red and greenAs the shoppers rush home with their treasuresHear the snow crunch, see the kids bunchThis is Santa's big sceneAnd above all this bustle you hear
Repeat chorus
Oh Christmas TreeOh Christmas treeOh Christmas treeHow beautiful and bright
Oh Christmas treeOh Christmas treeHow beautiful and bright
The sight of thee at Christmas tideSpreads hope and gladness, far and wide

Frosty the SnowmanFrosty the snowman, was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal Frosty the snowman, was a fairy tale they say He was made of snow, but the children know How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around
Frosty the snowman, was alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Frosty the snowman, he knew the sun was hot that day So he said let’s run and we’ll have some fun Now before I melt away
Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square Saying catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town Right to a traffic copy And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler “Stop!”
For Frosty the snowman, had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye saying, “Don’t you cry I’ll be back again some day” Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow

Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerYou know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows (like a light bulb)
All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinocchio) They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him) As they shouted out with glee (yippee!) Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer You'll go down in history! (like Columbus)
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa ClausI saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't hear me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up In my bedroom fast asleep
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Rocking Around the Christmas TreeRocking around the Christmas tree, At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Every couple tries to stop
Rocking 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"
Rocking around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday Everyone dancing merrily, in the new old-fashioned way
Jingle Bell RockJingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Dancing and prancing 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 gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet Jingle around the clock Mix and a-mingle in the jingling beat That's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle BellsDashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way, ha-ha-ha
Bells on bob-tail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
Chorus: Oh - Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bride Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and gay Misfortune was our lot We got into a quick snow drift And away went at a trot

Authentic German StollenSubmitted by: Doris Gagel Gagel's Draperies
• 75g raisins• 75g sultanas• 25g mixed peel• 50g glace cherries,
chopped• 50g blanched almonds,
chopped• finely grated zest of 2
unwaxed lemons• 10 cardamon pods,
crushed and shells removed
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract• 375g strong white bread
flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 sachet dried yeast• 50g caster sugar• 1 medium egg, beaten• 65g unsalted butter,
melted• 150ml warm milk, plus
1-2 tbsp, if needed• 200g white marzipan• icing sugar, for dusting
In a bowl, mix together the raisins, sultanas, mixed peel, cherries, almonds, lemon zest, cardamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract. Cover and leave to stand while making the dough.
Put the flour, yeast and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the egg, 50g of the melted butter and 150 ml milk. Using a round-bladed knife, mix the ingredients to form a dough. If the dough feels dry and crumbly, add a further 1-2tbsp milk.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, you can knead the dough using a free-standing mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5 minutes.) Place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with clingfilm and leave to rise in a warm place for 1-1 1/4 hours, until the dough has doubled in size.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gradually knead in the fruit mixture until it is evenly distributed through the dough. (Don't worry if the dough becomes soft, sticky and slightly messy to handle at this stage.) Cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, gas mark 5. Grease a large baking sheet. Shape the marzipan into a log, 30cm long, and set aside. Roll the dough into a oval about 3/4 inch thick, place the marzipan log into the middle, press together and flip over. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes, or until browned. When cool, dust with icing sugar. Wrap in foil to keep, freezes well.

Salt Dough Ornament RecipeSubmitted by: Victoria Bennett, Little Garden Montessori
• 1/2 cup of salt• 1/2 cup of water
• 1 cup of flour
How to make the salt dough
Add the 1/2 cup of salt and 1 cup of flour to a bowl stir in the water adding it slowly – you may not need all of the water. You want the dough to be dry – if it gets sticky add more flour. Knead the dough and then roll it out. Now your ready to create!
Once you have made the shapes you want then you need to dry them so you can paint. The salt dough is now ready to be dried in the oven which takes around 3 hours at a very low heat so they don’t burn. Leave the ornaments to cool and then paint.

Irresistible Gluten-Free Oatmeal Cookies
Rainy Day Gluten-Free Cookies
Bake up a batch of these gluten-free oatmeal cookies. The kitchen will smell glorious. The cookies will be irresistible. While you’re at it, dab on a little vanilla. You’ll be irresistible, too.
• 1/2c + 1/8c salted butter, room temp
• 3/4c coconut palm sugar• 1 small/medium egg• 1t vanilla • 1/2t baking soda
• 1/4t sea salt• 1/8t cinnamon• 3/4c Gluten Free Flour• 1-1/2c organic quick cook oats,
not instant
Preheat oven to 375, line cookie sheet with unbleached parchment paper. With mixer on medium-high, cream together butter and coconut palm sugar until fluffy then add egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients and mix well, then add into the wet ingredients, mixing on low just until everything is well mixed. Drop by small spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 min at 375. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with love.
• 1 1/4 cups canned* chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
• 2 tsp vanilla extract• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons
(165 grams) natural peanut or almond butter
• 1/4 cup (80 grams) honey • 1 teaspoon baking
powder**
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• a pinch of salt if your nut butter doesn’t have salt in it
• 1/2 cup (90 grams) chocolate chips
• ** If you need grain-free baking powder, you can use 1 part cream of tartar + 1 part baking soda + 2 parts arrowroot.
(Yields about fourteen 1 1/2" cookies) Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
Both Recipes submitted by: Vicki McLeod, www.dishinginthekitchen.com
Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until very smooth. Make sure to scrape the sides and the top to get the little chunks of chickpeas and process again until they’re combined.
Put in the chocolate chips and stir it if you can, or pulse it once or twice. The mixture will be very thick and sticky.
With wet hands, form into 1 1/2" balls. Place onto a piece of parchment paper. If you want them to look more like normal cookies, press down slightly on the balls. They don’t do much rising. Bake for about 10 minutes.

Gluten-Free Scones with Cranberries• 1/3 cup dried cranberries• 1 1/2 cups Robin Hood
Gluten Free Nutri Flour Blend
• 1 tsp xanthan gum• 4 tsp gluten free baking
powder• 1/4 cup granulated sugar• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into tiny cubes
• 2/3 cup buttermilk• 1 large egg• 1 tsp vanilla extract• 1 tsp finely grated lemon
zest• 1 tsp granulated sugar,
for sprinkling
Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set cranberries on a cutting board. Chop into small, but still discernable pieces and set in a small bowl.
Place flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar and salt in a mixing bowl, or bowl of your stand mixer, and whisk until evenly combined. With your fingers, 2 forks or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until thoroughly distributed. Mix in the chopped cranberries.
Place the buttermilk, egg, vanilla and lemon zest in another bowl and beat to combine.
Pour wet ingredients over the gluten free flour mixture and mix well until a dough forms. (Its consistency will be somewhat like cookie dough.)
Transfer dough to prepared baking pan. Press and shape into a ball. Now flatten and shape into a 7-inch wide disk. Cut dough in half, and then cut each half into 5 wedges. Set the wedges about 3” a part on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of each wedge with a little sugar.
Bake scones 12 to 13 minutes, until rich golden. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
Note: The gluten free flour blend, baking powder and xanthan gum are all available in our baking supply aisle.
