I don't want a lot for Christmas There's just one thing I need I don't care about presents Underneath the Christmas tree I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true... All I want for Christmas Is you...
I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need I don't care about presents Underneath the Christmas tree I don't need to hang my stocking There upon the fireplace Santa Claus won't make me happy With a toy on Christmas day I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you... You baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas I won't even wish for snow I'm just gonna keep on waiting Underneath the mistletoe I won't make a list and send it To the North Pole for Saint Nick I won't even stay awake to Hear those magic reindeer click' Cause I just want you here tonight Holding on to me so tight What more can I do Baby all I want for Christmas is you You...
All the lights are shining So brightly everywhere And the sound of children's Laughter fills the air And everyone is singing I hear those sleigh bells ringing Santa won't you bring me the one I really need won't you please bring my baby to me...
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas This is all I'm asking for I just want to see baby Standing right outside my door Oh I just want him for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true Baby all I want for Christmas isYou..
.All I want for Christmas is you baby... (repeat)

The Story of the Candy Cane
Tuesday, December 12, 2006
Of all the beautiful traditions of Christmas , few are so ancient in the meaning and so rich in symbolism as the Candy Cane .
From the beginning of the tradition of the Christmas Tree , it was customary to decorate the tree with symbols of the newborn Christ . Candles represented the Light of the World , the star recalled that first Christmas night , and the shepherd's crook symbolized the humble shepherds in the fields near Bethlehem who were first to receive the news , "Unto you is born a Saviour . "
Christmas Tree decorations in Europe , from which our tradition comes , were customarily made of food - principally cookies and candy . This symbolically expresses thanks for "our daily bread" as well as providing a Christmas treat for the children . Thus , the shepherd's crook became a candy cane .
As time went on , many ornaments took on a more permanent nature , but the Candy Cane retains the original use and meaning of Christmas Tree ornaments .
Candy canes on the Christmas Tree symbolize the shepards in the field on that first Christmas night - shepherds who heard the angel chorus and come to worship at the crib of the newborn King . They are also a sign of our thanks to God for the food He has given us all during the year , and , not least of all , they are an inexpensive and delightful Christmas treat for the family .
