Happy Holidays From: Dr. Ray, Dr.Cleworth, Dr. Lake and the Driftwood Dental Team

O little town of Bethlehem,How still we see thee lie!Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by;Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting Light;The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary;And gathered all above,While mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir watch of wond'ring love.O morning stars together,Proclaim the holy birth!And praises sing to God the King,And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silentlyThe wondrous gift is giv'n!So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of His heav'n.

No ear may hear His coming,But in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive Him stillThe dear Christ enters in. Where children pure and happyPray to the blessed Child,Where misery cries out to Thee,Son of the mother mild;Where charity stands watchingAnd faith holds wide the door,The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,And Christmas comes once more.

O holy Child of Bethlehem,Descend to us, we pray;Cast out our sin, and enter in,Be born in us today.We hear the Christmas angels,The great glad tidings tell;O come to us, abide with us,Our Lord, Emmanuel!

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Keep Christ in Christmas

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a

sign to you: You will � nd a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

Luke 2: 11-12

Good King Wenceslas looked outOn the feast of Stephen,When the snow lay round about,Deep and crisp and even;Brightly shone the moon that night,Though the frost was cruel,When a poor man came in sight,Gath'ring winter fuel.

"Hither, page, and stand by me,If you know it, telling,Yonder peasant, who is he?Where and what his dwelling?""Sire, he lives a good league hence,Underneath the mountain,Right against the forest fence,By Saint Agnes' fountain."

"Bring me drink and bring me meat,Bring me pine logs hither,You and I will see him eat,When we bear them thigher."Page and monarch, forth they went,Forth they went together,Through the cold wind's wild lamentAnd the bitter weather.

"Sire, the night is darker now,And the wind blows stronger,Fails my heart, I know not how;I can go no longer."

"Mark my footsteps, my good page,Tread now in them boldly,You shall find the winter's rageFreeze thyself less coldly."

In his master's steps he trod,Where the snow lay dented;Heat was in the very sodWhich the saint had printed.Therefore, Christians all be sure,Wealth or rank possessing,You who now will bless the poorShall yourselves find blessing.

Good King Wenceslas


O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth!Long lay the world in sin and error pining,Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!O night divine, O night when Christ was born!O night divine, O night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,Here came the wise men from Orient land.The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,

In all our trials born to be our Friend;He knows our need, to our weakness is no

stranger. Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!

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! O, praise His name forever!His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!

O Holy Night!

Oh the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we’ve no place to go Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping And I’ve bought some corn for popping The lights are turned way down low Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight How I’ll hate going out in the storm! But if you’ll really hold me tight All the way home I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we’re still goodbying But as long as you love me so Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Let it Snow

"Mark my footsteps, my good page,Tread now in them boldly,You shall find the winter's rageFreeze thyself less coldly."

In his master's steps he trod,Where the snow lay dented;Heat was in the very sodWhich the saint had printed.Therefore, Christians all be sure,Wealth or rank possessing,You who now will bless the poorShall yourselves find blessing.

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,Let nothing you dismay,Remember Christ, our SaviourWas born on Christmas day,To save us all from Satan’s pow'rWhen we were gone astray:

RefrainO tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,O tidings of comfort and joy! From God our heav'nly Father,A blessed angel came,And unto certain shepherdsBrought tidings of the same;How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by name. Refrain

“Fear not," then said the angel,“Let nothing you affright;This day is born a SaviourOf a pure virgin bright,To free all those who trust in HimFrom Satan’s pow'r and might.” Refrain

The shepherds at those tidingsRejoiced much in mind,And left their flocks a-feedingIn tempest, storm and wind,And went to Bethl'hem straightwayThis blessed Babe to find. Refrain

But when to Bethlehem they came,Where this dear Infant lay,They found Him in a manger,Where oxen feed on hay;His Mother Mary, kneelingUnto the Lord did pray.Refrain

Now to the Lord sing praisesAll you within this place,And with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace.This holy tide of ChristmasDoth bring redeeming grace. Refrain

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. ChorusO jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, O 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 Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot, We ran into a drifted bank,And there we got upsot. Chorus

A day or two ago, The story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh,He laughed as there I sprawling lay, But quickly drove away.Chorus

Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song. Just bet a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed, Hitch him to an open sleighAnd crack! You’ll take the lead.Chorus

The � rst Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in � elds as

they lay;In � elds where they lay keeping their

sheep,On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

RefrainNoel, Noel, Noel, Noel,Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a starShining in the east, beyond them far,And to the earth it gave great light,And so it continued both day and night. Refrain

And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from country far;To seek for a king was their intent,And to follow the star wherever it went.Refrain

This star drew nigh to the northwest,O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,And there it did both stop and stayRight o'er the place where Jesus lay.Refrain

Then entered in those wise men threeFull reverently upon their knee,And offered there in his presenceTheir gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Refrain

Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heav'nly Lord;That hath made heav'n and earth of

naught,And with His blood mankind hath bought. Refrain

The First Noel

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know, Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write, May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write, May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening

once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in ev’ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that

will be on your own front door. A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that

shoots is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk

Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for

school to start again.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev’rywhere you go; There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the

park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the

carol that you sing right within your heart.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

RefrainGo, tell it on the mountain,Over the hills and ev'rywhere;Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born!

While shepherds kept their watchingO'er silent flocks by night,Behold, throughout the heavensThere shone a holy light.Refrain

The shepherds feared and trembled When, lo! Above the earth

Rang out the angel chorusThat hailed our Saviour's birth.Refrain Down in a lowly mangerThe humble Christ was born,And God sent us salvationThat blessed Christmas morn.Refrain When I was a seeker, I sought both night and day;I asked the Lord to help me, And He showed me the way.

It Came upon the Midnight ClearIt came upon the midnight clear,That glor'ous song of old,From angels bending near the earthTo touch their harps of gold:"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,From heaven's all gracious King."The world in solemn stillness layTo hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they comeWith peaceful wings unfurled,And still their heav'nly music floatsO'er all the weary world;Above its sad and lowly plainsThey bend on hov'ring wing,And ever o'er its BabelsoundsThe blessed angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strifeThe world has suffered long;Beneath the heav'nly hymn have rolledTwo thousand years of wrong;

And warring humankind bears notThe tidings which they bring;O hush the noise and cease your strifeAnd hear the angels sing!

And ye, beneath life's crushing loadWhose forms are bending low,Who toil along the climbing wayWith painful steps and slow;Look now, for glad and golden hoursCome swiftly on the wing:O rest beside the weary road,And hear the angels sing.

For lo! The days are hast'ning on,By prophets seen of old,When with the evercircling yearsShall come the time foretold,When the new heav'n and earth shall ownThe Prince of Peace their King,And all the world send back the songWhich now the angels sing.


While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down And glory shone around,And glory shone around.

“Fear not,” said he (for mighty dread Had seized their troubled minds); “Glad tidings of great joy I bring, To you and all mankind,To you and all mankind."

“To you, in David’s town this day Is born of David’s line, The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign:And this shall be the sign:"

“The heav'nly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid,And in a manger laid.”

Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God, who thus Addressed their joyful song, Addressed their joyful song.

“All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace.Good will to all from highest heav'n Begin and never cease,Begin and never cease!”

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

Frosty 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 is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snowBut 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. O, 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. Thumpety thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the snowman 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 the traffic cop. 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.

Frosty the Snowman


We Three Kings of Orient AreWe three kings of Orient are,Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star.

Chorus O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect Light. Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign. Chorus

Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship Him, God on high. Chorus

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom. Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Chorus Glor'ous now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice. "Alleluia, alleluia!"Sounds through the earth and skies. Chorus

What Child is this, who, laid to rest,On Mary’s lap is sleeping,Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,While shepherds watch are keeping?This, this is Christ the King,Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.Haste, haste to bring Him laud,The Babe, the son of Mary!

Why lies He in such mean estateWhere ox and ass are feeding?Good Christians, fear, for sinners hereThe silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,The cross be borne for me, for you.Hail, hail the Word made flesh,The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,Come, peasant, king, to own Him.The King of kings salvation brings,Let loving hearts enthrone Him.Raise, raise the song on high;The Virgin sing her lullaby.Joy, joy, for Christ is born,The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Away in a manger, No crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head;The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, The poor Baby wakes,But little Lord Jesus, No crying He makes;

I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,And stay by my cradle Till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever, And love me, I pray;Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care,And fit us for heaven,To live with Thee there.

Away in a Manger


Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,In the lane, snow is glistening,A beautiful sight, We’re happy tonight,Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird, Here to stay is a new bird, He sings a love song, As we go along, Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown. He’ll say: "Are you married?" We’ll say: "No man, But you can do the job When you’re in town."

Later on we’ll conspire, As we dream by the fire,To face unafraid, The plans that we’ve made, Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he’s a circus clown, We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman, Until the other kids knock him down. When it snows, ain’t it thrilling,Though your nose gets a chilling, We’ll frolic and play, The Eskimo way, Walking in a winter wonderland, Walking in a winter wonderland, Walking in a winter wonderland.

Winter Wonderland

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.

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 As they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer


Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snowGave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by

name!

“Now Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On, Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,With the sleigh full of toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.As I drew in my head, and was turning around,Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and

soot.A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes – how they twinkled! His dimples – how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.He had a broad face and a little round belly,That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.And laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”

Twas the Night before Christmas


Let Me Come InTwo nights before Christmas I sat on my bed,And more than just sugar plums danced in my head.Our savings depleted; my job quite unstable;My wife wanting clothes and a new kitchen table.The kids were all fighting about who was firstOn Santa's long list. My head nearly burst."Is Santa a fake?" the ten-year-old cried."'Cause I'd hate to think that dear Daddy has lied.""Of course Santa's real," answered mother with glee."When Christmas day comes, just look under the

tree.""Oh, Good!" the kids cried. "'Cause St. Nick at the mallSaid he'd bring not just some of our list ... but all!"My head started pounding; my temples were

throbbing.Then I heard the faint sound of my three-year-old

sobbing."Oh, Daddy, oh, Daddy! How will Santa Claus guessThat me and my doll need the same pink silk dress?"I turned to my wife ... a long pleading look.She put on their jammies, while I found their book.I read them a story, then tucked them in bedWith posters of Mickey and Simba o'erhead.While Mama in her nightshirt and I in my skivviesCollapsed on the bed and turned on the TV.The news was all bad, the economy down.The grimace on my face now distinctly a frown.I shut the thing off and turned out the light.With my wife on the left I rolled to the right.A grunting of sorts was my tender goodnight.Then I screwed shut my eyes to chase cares from

sight.Two minutes? Two hours? I couldn't be sure.When I heard a noise that made my blood stir.I ran to the window, threw open the drape.Well, I saw a sight that made my mouth gape.The moon on the breast of the five-day old slushMade the yard as appealing as six-day old mush.When what to my dull aching eyes should appearBut a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.Yes, Santa was there, but him I expected.The shock came when all of the rest I detected.The Cratchits, with Scrooge, and young Tiny Tim.King Arthur and Merlin, plus Old Madam Mim.The Whos all from Whoville, the Grinch and ol' Max.Young Dr. Doolittle there with his Yaks.The Muppets there doing their whole Christmas thing.While Alvin and Chipmunks started to sing.And Jack with his beanstalk just starting to grow.The poor little match girl asleep in the snow.Frosty was singing and Rudolph was glowing,The drummer boy drumming. And I had trouble

knowing ...Just what I should do? If I had a choiceI'd go back to bed, but I heard a voice."Let me in," the voice said. What an odd piercing line.I immediately looked for a wolf and three swine.Not the voice of a wolf though, I knew from the start.

But a voice that could best be heard in the heart."Let me in," came again, and the crowd seemed to

hearAnd turned to a manger that lay at the rear.My untidy lawn, how embarrassed was I.That the sod was unfinished, I started to cry.But not for the lack of good grass nor from shame,But because that sweet voice had called me by name.The Cratchits, Miss Piggy, the whole motley sceneAll fell to their knees in a manner serene.The girl in the snow awoke from her dreamAnd lit her last match as a lamp for her King.I ventured to walk down the stairs and go out.As I walked through the crowd I started to shout"Oh, help me, please help me. I have bills to pay.My job is in trouble and I've lost my way.We've too many mouths to feed and to dress.I’m just a failure, a wash-out, I guess."I said what I felt. I said it out loud.And I looked for support from the odd-looking crowd.Their faces were filled with contentment, not thought.They had not the depth for the comfort I sought.Nostalgia, some laughs, and some heart-warming

plots,All the magic of childhood ... of this there was lotsIn my friends just behind me. But they don't possessThe power of true love; the power to bless.My friends faded then ... fairy tales all.But the Lord of All Hosts was still at my call.I fell to my knees, folded hands at my chin.I heard the voice say, "Please, let me come in."I awoke in my bed and turned to my wife.Her snoring repose took away all my strife.The day of all days, Christmas Eve came.We sat round the fire and called them by name,"On Dasher, On Dancer, On Prancer and Vixen."We sang Jingle bells. The kids got their licks in.The Grinch carved his Beast. Tiny Tim God-Blessed all.Then we looked at the painting I'd hung on the wall.I opened to Luke. We read of His birth.We read of His life, and His works here on earth.We read of our Lord, of our Savior, my friend,Then prayed to the Father and asked that he sendAll the spirit of Christmas; the Spirit of Love;All the blessings befitting us, down from above.Christmas day came, and Santa Claus too.And our own little Whos never cried "boo-hoo."In fact, though their list had been shortened a tadThey whispered together and then asked me, "Dad,Is there someone out there, some girl or some boy,Whom we could help out with a game or a toy?"I did lose my job, then along came a better.And we paid all our bills to the dot and the letter.Our home now abounds not with money, nor fame,But with unfettered love for the Holy of Name.I remember the stress and the fear that has been,But my soul now rejoices, 'cause I let Him in.
