Buddy Holly

Ah, dear Buddy. The Day the Music Died. Peggy Sue got married was a spin off from Peggy Sue the original. Thanks, edgar for the comments.

Ya know, Buddy has the right last name for the season, so how about Alan Jackson singing one for him.

Kate Rusby - Sweet Bells.

While shepherds watched,
Their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.

"Fear not,” said he,
For mighty dread,
Had seized their troubled minds,
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind".

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.

“To you in David’s Town this day,
Is born of David’s line.
The Savior who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign.”

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.

“All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth, the earth be peace,
Goodwill henceforth,
From heaven to men,
Begin and never cease”

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.

While shepherds watched,
Their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.

Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
Sweet Bells, Sweet chiming Christmas Bells
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.
They cheer us on our Heavenly way sweet chiming bells.

edgar, I appreciate your comment, and Brook Benton's You're All I want for Christmas was great.

Wow, Brit. Those are fantastic photo's I watched twice. What a photographer you are. Kate Rusby's While Shepherd's Watched Their Flock's was a fantastic version. Thanks so much.

Time for me to say goodnight, and I think that I shall do so with two songs.

First, Andrea.
