We put this one up for our little friend Ben and all the other Thomas the Tank Engine fans.  

Tidings of Great Joy!!

“The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” John 1:14 (The Message)
Here’s a retro Christmas classic if there ever was one… Jimmy Boyd singing “I Saw Mommy […]

Remember to add the proper punctuation to your Christmas carols this year.  It really helps the listener to accurately interpret what you are singing. First watch how to do it, then try it yourself!

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till […]

Can you sing Jingle Bells like Donald? Try.

Who are you going to miss this Christmas?

In sharp contrast to Sponge Bob, Tom and Jerry told a story with no words at all. Here’s a trip down memory lane with your kids… a Tom and Jerry Christmas.

During the Civil War, both sides ceased fighting and Christmas carols were heard coming from both sides of the battlefield. What is the […]

Johnny Cash tells a story about a very lean Christmas, and touching the lives of those who have even less. Looking around Sioux Falls today, the story is once again very true. Who is next door or across the street from you tonight? The “Reason for the Season” would like to know, “What […]

Here is a little walk down memory lane for you. Nothing quite says Christmas retro like Dean Martin in his authentic wood paneled Beverly Hills ranch singing White Christmas.  This is certainly a place where a White Christmas is truly a dream. You don’t quite know if he is going to breathe or drop over dead […]
