Giddy Yap Giddy Yap Let's Go...

Sleigh Ride

JMitchell Parish, Leroy Anderson 1948

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,ring ting tingling too

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you,

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,let's go, Let's look at the show,

We're riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,it's grand, Just holding your hand,

We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we

We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Let's take that road before usand sing a chorus or two

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray

It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day

We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop,

At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy,

When they pass around the chocolate and the pumpkin pie

It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives

These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,ring ting tingling too

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you,

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,let's go,

Let's look at the show,We're riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,it's grand,

Just holding your hand,

We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we

We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Well okay just substitute the word boat for the word sleigh and it's appropriate for the pictures.

I bought these little guys at a local antique shop yesterday. They look like they would fit perfectly on a "Charlie Brown Tree" They need a little repairing, but sigh, I might just leave them be:)

The boat was my brother's when we were growing up. My mom and dad just gave it to me this summer. He had passed just before his 21st bday in a tragic accident 1984. I cherish this boat as I remember playing with it often.

It is now displayed in my craft room on a shelf. It is made by Tonka and even has a metal boat trailer it sits on. The steering wheel is broken, but all in all it's in great shape and holds fond memories.

Thankful for those early memories of childhood and the time I have with my family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving to All

Julie
