Christmas Time!

Hello everyone,

     It’s that time of year when friends and family think about the Christmases of the past and plan for the coming holiday with their loved ones in mind.
     It is a time for remembering, a time to share the goodness of your heart with others, and for expressing with words and gifts what someone means to you.
     It is a chance to make wishes come true and to give something from your heart. 

I gave you some homework to do these days-and I really hope you find the time to do it and enjoy it too.

You'll need to visit the following page

 

LISTEN TO OTHER WELL KNOWN CHRISTMAS songs with lyrics

Merry Christmas to you all  
May this new year bring you peace, love and contentment.
