Sparkle 2: A Bit Of Christmas Magic

A Bit Of Sparkle Makes You Glow

Can you remember back to your own childhood? How did you feel when you saw the Christmas tree lit up, the Christmas lights in your town and the glittering displays in shop windows. Do you remember putting tinsel on the tree and hanging it over pictures and photos? Do you remember making homemade Christmas cards and decorations with lots of glue and glitter. Christmas time is a sparkly time.

As parents, teachers or guardians I believe we try to recreate those memories for our own children and then grandchildren, our classes, or for those in the community. That brightness and joy that it brings makes us sparkle inside and makes us want to share that sparkle around. There is nothing more moving than to see that happy sparkle full of wonder in children’s eyes.

“Let’s open a window for Christmas.

When light comes into our hearts;
Then light comes into our dark streets.”
― Sir Kristian Goldmund Aumann

A little Christmas sparkle (Christmas song) by John Nandy

1. The stars are diamonds in the sky

that gleam as Santa's sleigh goes by;

the moons a lustrous pearl that glows

and turns to silver, all below.


2. Against the dark and snow and cold,

small windows glow like squares of gold

and, within every house, a pine

tree wrapped in twinkling tinsel shines.



Chorus:

And it puts a little Christmas sparkle

deep within your heart

when you hear the sound of sleighbells tinkle

and the Christmas music starts

and you feel a sort of Yuletide glow

as you look out and you see the snow

and it feels like such a magic time

when the whole world seems to gleam and shine.


3. And underneath each mistletoe

a blissful Christmas kiss will glow

and 'cause of all the yuletide cheer

you'll see smiles glow from ear to ear.


4. And brightest of the Christmas lights

are children's eyes filled with delight

and childrens smiles like jewels of joy

as they unwrap their Christmas toys.



Chorus:

And it puts a little Christmas sparkle

deep within your heart

when you hear the sound of sleighbells tinkle

and the Christmas music starts

and you feel a sort of Yuletide glow

as you look out and you see the snow

and it feels like such a magic time

when the whole world seems to gleam and shine.
