Here are the words to the song. Double-click on a word if you don't know what it means!

Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Come down the chimney, don’t be shy
Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Leave a little present for me

There’s a carrot for your reindeer
There’s a glass of sherry and a big mince pie
There’s an empty stocking waiting
Come on Santa, don’t be shy

Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Come down the chimney, don’t be shy
Santa, Santa, high in the sky}
Leave a little present for me

Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Come down the chimney, don’t be shy
Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Leave a little present for me

There’s an icy cold wind blowing
The stars are shining in the dark blue sky
The Christmas lights are glowing
Come on Santa, don’t be shy

Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Come down the chimney, don’t be shy
Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Leave a little present for me

Oh, Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Come down the chimney, don’t be shy
Santa, Santa, high in the sky
Leave a little present for me

Ho! Ho! Ho!

The only thing a Hersey bar is good for is making a s'more. Too gritty. The best off the shelf chocolate is Nestle crunch for the real cheap or Lindt for a little more money. Giradella (I know I spelled that wrong) is excellent for an off the shelf. For GREAT chocolate, you order out. Dan's Chocolate (www.danschoclate.com) is the finest I have had but quite pricey. I get a half pound box about once a year for me and my dad to split. La Maison did for chocolate what Tiffany did for Jewelry they say. I think it's OK. At $70/pound, you'd think I like it better. There re many others I have tried. Like Dan's best.
A CHOCOLATE BUYERS GUIDE
1. The surface of the chocolate should have a slight sheen that reflects light.
2. Crack the chocolate. Edges that are dry and crumble indicate the choclate has been improperly stored, isn't fresh or has the wrong amount of cocoa butter.
3. Smell the freshly broken chocolate. If artificial vanilla has been used, it will smell slightly metallic.
4. Let chocolate disolve on your tounge. If it leaves your mouth too dry, it is too astingent. Likewise, look out for unwanted gritty (Hersheys!) or greasy residue which means it was made from milk fat and not cocoa butter.

The Reformation and the 1800s

During the Reformation, Protestants condemned Christmas celebration as "trappings of popery" and the "rags of the Beast". The Catholic Church responded by promoting the festival in a more religiously oriented form. When a Puritan parliament triumphed over the King, Charles I of England (1644), Christmas was officially banned (1647). Pro-Christmas rioting broke out in several cities. For several weeks, Canterbury was controlled by the rioters, who decorated doorways with holly and shouted royalist slogans.^[15] The Restoration (1660) ended the ban, but Christmas celebration was still disapproved of by the Anglican clergy.

By the 1820s, sectarian tension had eased and British writers began to worry that Christmas was dying out. They imagined Tudor Christmas as a time of heartfelt celebration, and efforts were made to revive the holiday. The book A Christmas Carol (1843) by Charles Dickens played a major role in reinventing Christmas as a holiday emphasizing family, goodwill, and compassion (as opposed to communal celebration and hedonistic excess).^[16]

The Puritans of New England disapproved of Christmas and celebration was outlawed in Boston (1659-81). Meanwhile, Virginia and New York celebrated freely. Christmas fell out of favor in the U.S. after the American Revolution, when it was considered an "English custom".

Interest was revived by several short stories by Washington Irving in The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon (1819) and by "Old Christmas" (1850) which depict harmonous warm-hearted holiday traditions Irving claimed to have observed in England. Although some argue that Irving invented the traditions he describes, they were imitated by his American readers.[1] German immigrants and the homecomings of the Civil War helped promote the holiday. Christmas was declared a federal holiday in the U.S. in 1870.

Irving writes of Saint Nicholas "riding over the tops of the trees, in that selfsame waggon wherein he brings his yearly presents to children."^[17] The connection between Santa Claus and Christmas was popularized by the poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" (1822) by Clement Clarke Moore, which depicts Santa driving a sleigh pulled by reindeer and distributing gifts to children. His image was created by German-American cartoonist Thomas Nast (1840-1902), who drew a new image annually beginning in 1863. By the 1880s, Nast's Santa had evolved into the form we now recognize. The image was standardized by advertisers in the 1920s.^[18]
