Christmas Vacation

Christmas Vacation song lyrics

It's that time, Christmas time is here
Everybody knows there's not a better time of year
Hear that sleigh, Santa's on his way
Hip, Hip Hooray, for Christamas Vacation

Gotta a ton of stuff to celebrate
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Now it's getting closer I can't wait
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Gonna make this holiday as perfect as can be
Just wait and see this Christmas Vacation

This old house, sure is looking good
Got ourselves the finest snowman in the neighborhood
Ain't it fun, always on the run
That's how its done on Christmas Vacation

Lets all deck the halls and light the lights
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Get a toasty fire buring bright
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Give St Nick the warmest welcome that he's ever had
We're so glad it Christmas Vacation

And when the nights are peacful and serene
We can cuddle up and do our Chirstmas dreaming

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Christmas Vacation (repeat)

We're so glad it's Christmas Vacation

Peace and joy and love are everywere
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
You can feel the magic in the air
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Let the spirit of the season carry us away
Hip, Hip Hooray for Christmas Vacation

Fa-la-la-la-la and ho ho ho
jingle, jangle, jingle as we go
Let the spirit of the season... (fade)


We love that movie, and we've always wished we could have that song to play at Christmastime, but it's not for sale anywhere that I can find…Anyway, Here's some pics from our Christmas Vacation.






Ice Skating at the Galleria, Silent night by candle light, Kyle the Shepherd, and Barrett introduced the Christmas poem, Annabelle almost kidnaps Baby Jesus right out of the manger, O Holy Night, the stockings were hung by the chimney with care, notes and milk and cookies (actually fudge (because Santa might be getting tired of cookies)) for Santa, Trying on the stockings, Twas the night before Christmas, finding the (dad-gum-fight-inducing-and-therefore never-to-be-seen-again) pickle…although I was able to get some nice pics thanks to "Dad-gum Pickle", so maybe we can become friends again after some healing time, Santa brought us a puppy - (He's so FLUFFY!), peeking, loving on the puppy named George "Bailey", Daddy got a new guitar, Santa also brought a giant swing, Grinch on a stick, hanging out on giant swing, more cuddles with Bailey, Rockin' around the Christmas tree, Annabelle made Papa a princess and curled his hair, 5:40 am wake-up time catches up to some of us, Kyle loves the new swing, and Bailey poses in front of the tree, overhearing one of the kids say this was the best Christmas ever…Best Christmas Ever.

And AFTER!!!
 Subway tile backsplash in a herringbone pattern.

 The countertops are soapstone -  a black matte finish with sparse white veins.  Cabinet paint color is Benjamin Moore Dove White.
 New fixture over breakfast table.  You can also see the wood planking we put on the walls in there where there used to be wallpaper.
New Pantry - so much more functional
