"Don't Save It All for Christmas" by One Voice Children's Choir - video and lyrics



Don't get so busy that you miss
Giving just a little kiss to the ones you love
Don't even wait a little while
To give them just a little smile, a little is enough

See how many people are crying
Some people are dying
How many people are asking for love

So don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way to give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way, 'cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on if you give on love

How could you wait another minute
A hug is warmer when you're in it, oh, baby, that's a fact
And saying, 'I love you's" always better
Seasons, reasons, they don't matter, so don't hold back

See how many people in this world
So needful in this world
How many people are praying for love

So don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way to give a little love everyday
Don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way, 'cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on if you give on, give love

So let all the children know
Everywhere that they go
Their whole life long
Let them know love

So don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way to give a little love every day
Don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way to give a little love to everyone, everyone

Don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way, 'cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on if you give on, we gotta give love
Give love

Grown Up Christmas List - Peter Hollens feat. Evynne Hollens - video and lyrics


Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up christmas list

Christmas Crafts - An easy bell and paper wreath

An DIY easy bell and paper wreath
An DIY easy bell and paper wreath
1.Bell – You need a piece of yellow cardboard paper cut in the shape of a circle, a metal thread and several beads. We used stapler instead of glue at the folding of the circle – it is firmer and there is no need to wait for it to dry.
v
You can make the leaves easier when you fold the paper into two.

2. Christmas Wreath
To make it we used a paper bag (IKEA), which we opened very carefully and then rolled. We shaped the wreath and stuck it with scotch tape.

We used also green paper which we cut it into green ribbons. Then we rolled these ribbons around the skeleton of the wreath and glued them.

"O Holy Night" by Pentatonix: video and lyrics


O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees


O hear the angel voices

O night divine!
O night when Christ was born
O night divine!
O night, O night divine!


Truly He taught us to love one another,

His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains He shall break, for the slave is our brother.

And in His name, all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord!
Their name forever praise we


Noel, Noel

O night, O night divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O night divine
Noel, Noel

Silent Night Kelly Clarkson ft. Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire



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,
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Creature Discomforts: Life in Lockdown

For us, lockdown was temporary.
For some animals, it's for life.




We used people’s experience of lockdown to highlight the lives of wild animals forced to live under lock and key. Turn on the sound to hear their story.
Many animals in zoos, circuses and dolphinaria suffer in lockdown every day. They’re trapped thousands of miles from their natural homes. Stripped of a life in the wild. And locked up for life.
Almost all will die in captivity.
We do our best to break this cycle and where possible rescue vulnerable animals from appalling conditions. Share this film and donate if you can so we can rescue even more wild animals from permanent lockdown.
