Merry Christmas Everybody 
by Stompin' Tom Connors
For those Americans who don't know the Great Stompin' Tom, he's a prolific singer/songwriter who was born Charles Thomas Connors in Saint John, New Brunswick, in 1936. He was later adopted by a family in Skinner's Pond, Prince Edward Island. Stompin' Tom keeps rhythm by "stomping" the heel of his cowboy boot. His downhome, folksy brand of Maritime music can be heard at hockey games and kitchen parties throughout the country.

Well there's old Grand Pappy and he sure looks happy
with Granny just a slappin' her knees
There's old Aunt Mary with funny Uncle Harry
and they're trying to give the baby a squeeze
and they're trying to give the baby a squeeze
There's long lost cousins, kiddies by the dozens,
and they're gonna stay the whole day long
and they're gonna stay the whole day long
Get together now friends and neighbours,
Sing a happy holiday song.

The turkey's on the table now and when your feelin' able
you can take another helpin' if ya will
you can take another helpin' if ya will
But soon as ya eat it
I'm afraid ya gotta beat it
cause ya gotta give the chair to brother Bill

cause ya gotta give the chair to brother Bill
And Hey Uncle Marty it's an all night party,
and don't ya pour the drinks too strong
and don't ya pour the drinks too strong
Get together now friends and neighbours,
Sing a happy holiday song.

Sayyy! Is that the gazebo in King Square, SJ?
Merry Christmas Missy and all,
John A
Indeed it is the gazebo (bandstand) in King's Square! Lovely isn't it? I thought you might get a little nostalgic around the holidays John...so I thought...why not send you a little piece of "home" for the holidays!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful and memorable Christmas. (And I wish the same for all the blog readers!)
Have fun and be safe!
I really enjoyed reading this!
Thank you, Missy.
I still say, "Merry Christmas"
If that offends anyone, then may they soon get over it.
I love you all.
Our family still says Merry Christmas..
Sharron would want all of us to say it...
so...
Merry Christmas to All
Prior Family
