8. Aunty tham, who advised us in much ways.

9. EVERYONE WHO SANG, which is basically everyone. and for wearing white collared shirts such that i didnt have to kill anyone.

10. Video people, camera people, lighter people, PEOPLE :)

Of course, dear God thank you! and in the process, I am aware of my lousy tendencies that surfaced because i am terrible at handling stress, therefore, apologies to any soul that got shouted/screamed/yelled/spoken really abruptly to in the process of carolling :'/

well. every tired person, get a good rest and I'll see your merry faces tomorrow (or today, rather).

MERRY CHRISTMAS YAALL :]

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new king born today, and

Man will live for evermore, because of Christmas day.

E        A     B          E     C#m              A      B
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say, that
E       B             A          E             B        E
man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
(Chorus)

While shepherds watch their flock by night
They see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
(Chorus)

To lay before the King

Rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

O Holy Night (G)

G                          C                          G 
O' Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
              Em             D                  G  
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth  
Long lay the world 
      C                 G 
In sin and error pining
           Bm            F#

E  
'Til He appeared and the soul felt His worth
        G        D  
The thrill of hope,  
         G
The weary world rejoices
       C                 D      G  
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Em                 Bm
Fall on your knees
       Am                        Em
Oh, hear the angel's voices  
      G D    G C  
O' night divine
  G D                             G  
O' night when Christ was born
      D                 GC
O' night divine
G D
O' night, 
               G
O' night divine

(THIS IS NEW)
Truly He taught us
To love one another;
His law is love and
His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break
For the slave is our brother
And in His name
All oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in
Grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us
Praise His holy name!
Christ is the Lord,
Oh praise His name forever,
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim
His pow'r and glory
Evermore proclaim.


We Are The Reason (G)
G                          Am/F#      B         Em
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
        Dm7    G      C            G/B Am7
and all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
       B         Em              Em/D
but we never realised a baby born one blessed
Em/C#             Cmaj7         Am7    D7
night gave us the greatest gift of our lives

(Chorus)
G                      Am/G
We are the reason that He gave His life
Dsus     D                G
we are the reason that He suffered and died
D/F# Em                          Am7
to a world that was lost, He gave all He could
         D7                      G
give to show us the reason to live

G             Am/F#               B            Em
As the years went by we learned more about gifts
Dm7     G       C         G/B          Am7
Giving of ourselves and what that means
      B                  Em          Em/D
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying
      Em/C#               Cmaj7  Am7      D7
In the rain because of love, because of love
(Chorus)

Eb                                  Bb/D
I've finally found a reason for living,
          Bbm              Ab/C
it's in giving every part of my heart to Him
      Abm/B             Eb/Ab       Cm7
In all that I do, every word that I say
  F                        Ab         E
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

(Chorus)

Feliz Navidad/We wanna wish you a merry christmas

Feliz Navidad, próspero ano y felicidad.

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas,
D                    G
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas,
Em                C
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas,
           D              G
From the bottom of my heart

I'll see you at carolling practice :)
