The Tradition Continues!
Come join us for our annual Christmas Caroling, the Heintzman House Family Carol Sing, on Sunday December 1th , 2024 from 5pm - 7pm.
This event is Outdoors, so dress warmly! The Upper Canada Chorus will be performing and leading the sing-a-long.
To keep us all toasty, hot chocolate, coffee and some Holiday sweets will be served. Look for the Heintzman House Board Volunteer Elves who will be handing out candy canes!
The event is free. In the spirit of the Holidays, we will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items for the food banks and toys for the fire halls.
We hope to see you there to celebrate the season together!
Happy Holidays!

We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I’m holding very tight
I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We’re surfing in the air
We’re swimming in the frozen sky
We’re drifting over icy
Mountains floating by

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of al
(ALL SING)
There’ll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time of the yea

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
(ALL SING)
Strings of street lights, even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa’s big scene
And above all the bustle you’ll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

You’re a mean one, Mister Grinch, You really are a heel
You’re as cuddly as a cactus,
You’re as charming as an eel, Mister Grinch
You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel
You’re a monster, Mister Grinch,
Your heart’s an empty hole
(ALL SING)
Your brain is full of spiders,
You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mister Grinch (CHOIR)
I wouldn’t touch you with a
Thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole.
You’re a foul one, Mister Grinch,
You’re a nasty-wasty skunk
(ALL SING)
Your heart is full of unwashed socks,
Your soul is full of gunk, Mister Grinch
(Speaker)
The 3 words that best describe you are as follows,
and I quote:
(ALL SING)
Stink, stank, stunk
You nauseate me, Mister Grinch!! With a nauseous, super naus.
(ALL SING)
You’re a crooked jerkey jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mister Grinch!
(Speaker)
You’re a three-decker sauerkraut and
toadstool sandwich...
(ALL SING)
With arsenic sauce

So to honor him, Pa rum pum pum pum

Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers, not so long ago
But one by one we all seemed to grow up
When it seems the magic slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas Day
(Choir)
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that’s playing
There’s no time to waste
There’s so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe.
Trains move quickly to their journey’s end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas Da

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh
(ALL SING)
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
(ALL SING)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
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 how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You’ll go down in history”

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
[Verse 2]
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
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upset

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
And bring it right here

Oh! you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
He sees you when you’re sleepin’
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout I’m telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
