Julestemning

Jo da, selv om jula aldri vil bli helt riktig igjen,
så driver det og kommer litt julestemning krypende.
Vi har hatt bittelitt snø noen dager.
I vinduene funkler adventsstjerner,
ytterdøren og juletreet ute er pyntet med lys.
De fleste gavene er ferdig kjøpt/lagede og pakket inn,
og julepynten er på vei fram.
Julekortene er nesten klare,
huset blir langsomt juleryddig.
Ungenes adventskalendre tømmes sakte men sikkert for gaver,
det lakker mot jul.
Kanskje skal vi bake litt også?

Fra stereoen strømmer julemusikk,
og når denne sangen kommer bare bobler julestemningen fram,
denne sangen er JUL for meg!



The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose.
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
and folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
to see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
to kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
Merry Christmas to you...
