Ring Ting Tingling Too

I organized a sleigh ride for Saturday night. Saturday was my birthday and more importantly, one of those decade birthdays.  I was honored when 15 people came for a sleigh ride at Bunker Stables.

Mother Nature was kind to me this year.  As I drove away at 8:30 the sign read 33 degrees Fahrenheit.  The weather was balmy for late December. 

When the horses stopped for a rest the kids went sliding down an icy hill on their snow pants.

The horses' names were Pete and Dewey.

I tried to sing but I just couldn't remember all the words. But it was lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

"Sleigh Ride"

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
Let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, just holding your hand.
We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!

There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the chocolate and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives

These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
Let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow (A wonderland)

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,
It's grand, just holding your hand.
We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
