***Christmas quiz 7th December - answer added***

[diberry]

I know this is incredibly early in the day but I'll be out tonight for a birthday meal so decided to post tonight's question and then add yesterday's answer when I get home.

Can you fill in the gaps? 3 points available plus an extra 2 points if you can tell me who wrote the music and lyrics.

Children´s faces all a-glow, what a sight on Christmas morning,
Presents wrapped beneath the tree to open Christmas day,
Stockings filled with toys and ...... from the chimney they are hung,
We´ve waited patiently all year and now the joy’s begun.

It´s a bike for me, to learn to ride,
Oh with shiny wheels spinning and ......... flying high,
Look a baby-doll, how real she seems,
Oh I love you santa dear, for the best day of the year!

What a happy Christmas day this is, one I always will remember,
Family and friends so dear to share our Christmas cheer,
Gather round the Christmas tree, let your spirits lift you high,
And sing a song of hope and love this special Christmas ....

(Lyrics taken from original DLP CD cover.)

I'll leave this open a little longer as I've only had 5 replies so far (all correct) and it really isn't that difficult!! Going out about 9.00 so will close it before then.

Welcome home Renate. I'm sure you had a wonderful time in Egypt!


The answers, according to the lyrics printed on the official DLP CD of "Chante, c'est Noel", are:

Children´s faces all a-glow what a sight on Christmas morning
presents wrapped beneath the tree to open Christmas day
stockings filled with toys and sweets from the chimney they are hung
we´ve waited patiently all year and now the joy’s begun.
It´s a bike for me, to learn to ride
oh with shiny wheels spinning and streamers flying high
look a baby-doll how real she seems
oh I love you santa dear for the best day of the year!
what a happy Christmas day this is, one I always will remember
family and friends so dear to share our Christmas cheer
gather round the Christmas tree let your spirits lift you high
and sing a song of hope and love this special Christmas tide.

Jay Smith wrote the lyrics and Vasile Sirli composed the music.
