God With Us 04:23
God With Us I’m sure it was beautiful that night with the stars in the sky, But just one shone the way to new life. Mary was pondering that night of the one who was inside. He has come to save our lives. Emmanuel, God with us. Emmanuel God with us. We saw the star in the East and have come to worship Him, God’s blessed son.
We saw the star in the East and have come to worship Him.
Emmanuel, God with us. Emmanuel God with us. I’m sure it was beautiful that night, With the angels on high singing praises of Hallelujah. Mary was pondering that night of the one who was inside. He has come to save our lives. Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel...
Mary was pondering that night of the one who was inside. He has come to save our lives, He has come to save our lives. He has come. He has come. He has come. He will come...

The Holly and the Ivy The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown. The rising of the sun and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears the blossom as white as the lily flower, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to be our sweet Saviour: The rising of the sun and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a berry, as red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to do poor sinners good: The rising of the sun and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a prickle, as sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ on Christmas day in the morn. The rising of the sun and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a bark, as bitter as any gall, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ for to redeem us all: The rising of the sun and the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.

Bboon (Winter) Aaniin, Bboon. How are you? Aaniin, Bboon. How are you? I see your frost on my window, I catch your snow on my tongue. Aaniin, Bboon. How are you? Aaniin, Bboon. How are you? You bring us cold and beauty, we stay warm and watch the world turn white. All of the seasons, all of the people are connected. All of the seasons, all of the ages are connected like a snowflake. Like a snowflake. Aaniin, Bboon. How are you? Aaniin, Bboon. How are you?

Christmas In The Room No travel bags, no shopping malls No candy canes, no Santa Claus For as the day of rest draws near It's just the two of us this year No silver bells or mistletoe We'll kiss and watch our TV show I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you 'Til it's Christmas in the room No traffic jams, no ice and storm Far in the house the fire is warm No Christmas tree, no Great Parade It's just an ordinary day No parties planned, no place to go It's just the two of us alone And in the house we see a light That comes what we feel inside I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you 'Til it's Christmas in the room 'Til it's Christmas in the room Oh, I can see the day when we'll die But I don't care to think of silence For now I hear you laughing The greatest joy is like the sunrise No gifts to give, they're all right here Inside our hearts, the glorious cheer And in the house we see a light That comes from what we know inside I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you 'Til it's Christmas in the room I'll come to you, I'll sing to you Like it's Christmas in the room I'll dance with you, I'll laugh with you Like it's Christmas in the room Like it's Christmas in the room

O Holy Night 05:53
O Holy Night O holy night the stars are brightly shining
 It is the night of our 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 glorious morn
 Fall on your knees
 O hear the angels' voices 
O night divine
 O night when Christ was born
 O night divine O night 
O night divine Truly he taught us to love one another His law is love, and his gopel is peace Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother And in His name, all oppression shall cease A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
 For yonder breaks a new glorious morn
 Fall on your knees 
O hear the angels' voices 
O night divine 
O night when Christ was born 
O night divine O night 
O night divine

about

Merry Christmas and warmest thoughts to you all.
I recorded Christmas Songs in my home, and if you listen closely you can even hear the wood floors creaking. My Gramma, Fay Koss, makes her album debut in Bboon (Winter) as she pronounces "Bboon" for me over the phone in Anishinaabemowin.
Chi-Meegwetch for listening and for all your support.
Lots of love,
Elsa Jayne
