Over the river and through the woods,
To grandmother’s house we go;
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh,
Through (the) white and drifted snow!
While out getting fire wood, the dogs and I could hear excited voices!
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Boomer started a HOOOOAL so Fuzzy and I had to go look.
Over the river and through the woods,
To have a first-rate play;
Oh, hear the bells ring, “Ting-a-ling-ling!”
Hurrah for Thanksgiving New Year’s Eve Day!
There coming across the fields were three little children and Hank!
Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like a hunting hound!
For this is Thanksgiving New Year’s Eve Day.
It took them awhile to get to us, because there were things to do….like throwing snowballs, romping with Hank, and making snow angels
Over the river and through the woods,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go extremely slow
It is so hard to wait!
Gradually, they were there…running and laughing; cheeks and noses red
Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandmother’s cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
Hurrah for the gift of family!
Happy New Year’s Everyone! 2013! We hope each and everyone has the best year ever!
