«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 329 of 329No words for me again today! But I did make the Blog Roll! Oh well, maybe I'll get some words tomorrow.
When the reindeer went caroling, watching the snowflakes hit the toys, they heard the drum begin and they were inspired to sing the hallelujah chorus, then they ran indoors for some hot chocolate.
Hot chocolate for me today! I have 3 words now.
nothing today, but
while I was CAROLING, and on the Hallelujah chorus, a group of reindeer passed by. They were on their way to deliver toys and a drum.
They invited me to join them, and we enjoyed some Hot chocolate while watchign the snowflakes fall. What a great day!
The Hallelujah Chorus arrived on Reindeer, Caroling and beating a Drum~ yhey handed out Toys for the good little kids and a Snowflake in Hot Chocolate for those misbehaving. I got Hot Chocolate. :-) lol Thanks for the fun!
Hello! Today I have a word! Four in total! Every word I am happy, like a guy their new toys! This is fun!
Again no words, but still happy!! I would sure like to win a honey bun tho. Thanks for fun time!!
No words for three days in a row!
My phrase:
The toys went caroling and sang the hallelujah chorus while the reindeer played the drum and drank snowflake hot chocolate!
Two words for me today: reindeer and snowflake! Woo Hoo.
As I stand by my window sipping hot chocolate and cream, I spy an errant snowflake or two floating before my eyes. I lean my head against the cold, paned glass and dream of when Santa arrives on his eight, tiny reindeer bringing toys for all the boys and girls. Snapping out of my reverie from the ra-pa-pa- pum of a distant drum I see a festively dressed, caroling group marching up the street singing in harmony to the great hallelujah chorus of one of my favorite songs. Oh, what a great Christmas time this will be!!

Two more words today. Thanks
Hallelujah (chorus), I got a word today. Kathie L in Allentown
The Hallalujah chorus was caroling with Santa's reindeer under a snowflake laden sky collecting toys and drums for children drinking hot chocolate with Santa.
I've gotten 4 words....three are from today's list. This is sEw much funnnnnnn
Day three and finally crossed off my first word. Let's hope things pick up for me ;o)
Congrats to yesterday's giveaway winner!
Forgot about this today until just now. And I didn't get any words today, so just have 2 total. Maybe tomorrow will be a good day.
Some children were caroling
Near the nativity scene.
Oom-pa-pa went the drum
When they sang the Hallelujah chorus.
From the distance came a reindeer pulled sleigh
Leaving toys, gifts, and hot chocolate for
All the good children who
Knew that Santa would be visiting
Everyone who believes.
Did you really think I left out the word "snowflake"??!! Look closely at this poem and you will find it! (*Hint- read the first letter of every line!)
Two words today: A snowflake landed on the reindeer!
Got my first word!
I got 2 words today!
Nothing today...but there is always tomorrow!

wow, i totally forgot this was starting on Friday! That's what happens when my husband is off of work - fun but it throws off my groove :)
Three days and only two words!
Ho hum, no words today!
2 words for me today!!! :) Hallelujah! More than makes up for yesterdays big fat nothing!!! :)
The choir went CAROLING after they finished drinking their HOT CHOCOLATE; but unfortunately, due to the poor visibility, and one huge, perilous SNOWFLAKE, just as they reached the HALLELUJAH CHORUS, they were run over by a REINDEER who was delivering TOYS to the little boy playing the DRUM.
only the one today but slow and steady can still win
I think I will sing the HALLELUJAH CHORUS today!
Hot Chocolate is my favorite drink
Wow can't believe I got 4 today!

The elves were making Santa hot chocolate when they heard the reindeer and the toys caroling the Hallelujah Chorus, complete with fife and drum, because they had just seen the first Christmas snowflake.
I saw 5 snowflakes!
Two today!!! I usually have the absolute worst luck at Bingo, but today was a winner!
I got one word today! Would love to win that jelly roll! :)
This HAS just got to be a record...three days in a row and NO words!!!

It's two weeks before Christmas
The REINDEER are fed
The TOYS in their boxes
I'm CAROLING in my head
The HALLELUJAH CHORUS is playing
and fills up the room
While a tiny white SNOWFLAKE
falls outside in the gloom
I'm drinking HOT CHOCOLATE
My home tight as a DRUM
Soon will be Christmas morning
Hallelujah! I hum...
2 words for me today!
"REINDEER stood around a DRUM CAROLING the HALLELUJAH CHORUS. The TOYS are READY in Santa's sack. A SNOWFLAKE lands in Jolly Nick's HOT CHOCOLATE - a perfect winter scene"
Thanks for the challenging fun:)
We are expecting a snowflake or two as we drink hot chocolate and dress as toys (I'll be a drum) for caroling tonight; we don't know the Hallelujah chorus, but will one about reindeer do?
Hallelujah chorus, the carolers sing
Toys Reindeer, Drum and all.
snowflakes hot chocolate.lessen the sting.
because to day I have no words at all.
Another one for us!!!
:)
It seems appropriate that the word I got today is snowflake. We are having a HUGE snowstorm right now!!!
Took a break from wrapping TOYS to make HOT CHOCOLATE. Look out the window to see neighbors CAROLING singing the HALLELUJAH CHORUS, just beautiful. They are accompanied by a DRUM and I have no idea where they found a REINDEER. While watching them a single SNOWFLAKE fell.
We are getting LOTS & LOTS of snowflakes today!
Judy
OK, well, at least I got two yesterday!
YAY! I finally got my first word!
6 so far on Holly Jolly Bingo. Can my luck hold?
It's fun to watch the kids open their toys while drinking hot chocolate.
A snowflake falls as caroling reindeer drum the Hallelujah Chorus for some hot-chocolate-drinking toys. (I live in a very weird neighborhood!)
I'm taking the TOYS CAROLING while the SNOWFLAKES fall around us.
6 so far!
This is so much fun!
Thank you!!
One word today. Yippee!
'Snowflakes' glisten on a magical night!
Here is my looooong phrase:
When the SNOWFLAKES fall, drink HOT CHOCOLATE while you listen to some kids CAROLING the HALLELUJAH CHORUS along with the DRUM. The alduts hand out TOYS to the little children. A REINDEER adds more beuty to the HALLELUJAH CHORUS.
Told you it was long!
SNOWFLAKE the REINDEER whipped up a DRUM (that's 55 gallons!!) of HOT CHOCOLATE to serve to the CAROLING TOYS along with her famous honey buns, jelly rolls, and layer cakes after which they delighted her with their rendition of the HALLELUJAH CHORUS.
...Karen
There are no snowflakes in my yard or on my list. Humph!
As the first SNOWFLAKE of the season drifts to the ground, I sip HOT CHOCOLATE to the sounds of the HALLELUJAH CHORUS. With a DRUM and various TOYS scattered round I look out the window to see a REINDEER walking by as the CAROLING stops and I wonder will I get it all my quilting done in time?
The Hallelujah Chorus was on my list today as the Drums echoed for Santa's reindeer to come for Hot Chocolate and Snowflakes (instead of marshmellows. All the Toys were ready to fly as we go a Caroling on the 4th of July!!!
No words today, but, at least, I'm back on schedule.
The Hallelujah Chorus sounded wonderful!
Day three - still no words. Oh well -While the reindeer are busy bringing the toys, and the family are out caroling under snowflake after snowflake, I'll be listening to the Hallelujah chorus - glorious with trumpet and drum.
No words again today! Better luck tomorrow:)
Whoo Hoo!! Finally got my first three words today! dsb448@att.net
The reindeer were sipping their hot chocolate as the snowflakes were falling. They could hear the drums as the toys started singing the Hallelujah Chorus! The toys invited the reindeer to join in with their caroling!
quilted56@sbcglobal.net
As the snowflakes lazily drifted from the sky, we went caroling to all our friends' homes. We, of course, had to sing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! Molly took her toy drum to accompany us. We concluded with the Hallelujah Chorus, then went back around the fireplace to enjoy some hot chocolate! dsb448@att.net
Another one - that makes two so far. Hoping for more tomorrow.
two words today!
I finally got my 1st word today...snowflakes and we actually had a few of those yesterday:)
I want to sing The Hallelujah Chorus! I finally got a word. :D
DeAnna Dodson
MissWrite@sbcglobal.net
2 words today - woohoo!!
yes 2 today
One word per day. Not bad!
I'm sipping HOT CHOCOLATE while watching the SNOWFLAKES fall...
While caroling we sand the Hallelujah chorus, suzie snowflake, and rudolf the red nose reindeer. We also delivered toys, a drum and some hot chocolate to some needy children.
two days in a row with nothing :(
No words today for me!
Leona
Ah darn! None for me today! Better luck tomorrow I hope!=)
No words today:(
PatAnderson2104@cox.net
the snowflakes are falling. The toys and the reindeer are beating a drum. Suddenly they burst into song and sing the Hallelujah chorus. Soon the whole neighborhood came out and started caroling. It was cold so they were all glad for some hot chocolate.
Maurbs1@msn.com
ok, here goes :)
"The reindeers were caroling a halleluyah chorus accompanied by toy drums while snowflakes fell in their hot chocolate" Lame, I know, but hey -- I'll do anything for a fig tree honey bun :) Happy holidays
Yes! Finally got 1!! Just one!! But that's ok!!
As we go caroling singing a Hallelujah chorus, the snowflakes fall all around the reindeer and us, toys of drums make up the beat and the crowd drinks hot chocolate as we sing.
Eight words in three days! That's pretty good. Sorry, no sentence with the words, but gotta try for that honeybun!
Cozily sitting by the warm, winter fireplace sipping my delicious, marshmallow topped hot chocolate, I hear the soft being of a mellow drum in the distance. Slowly rocking in my favorite chair, a snowflake lands on the windowsill -a sure sign Santa and his reindeer will come delivering toys to those good little boys and girls. And to my amazement a beautiful Hallelujah Chorus is softly and joyously caroling through the still of the night. Happy blessings to one and all!
Hooray! Finally have two words on our list! My goodness, how's that for slow? LOL It's fun anyway.
magpie411@gmail.com
Still not having much luck with my words but I have faith :)
+1 today.
While I was in my kitchen, sipping on some delicious hot chocolate and waiting for my snowflake cookies to come out of the oven, the hallelujah chorus stopped by to share their caroling with me.
So, I grabbed my cute reindeer sweater and a drum from my sons chest of toys and joined them.
Man! I missed the first few days!!! All caught up now, though. And I got to mark off 5 words!
Warning: Drinking too much hot chocolate, while playing Holly Jolly Blog Bingo, may lead to dreaming about toys caroling poorly by singing the Hallelujah Chorus off-key while accompanied by a reindeer sporting a snowflake nose ring, jamming out on his snare drum...using only his antlers!
Consistent a one word a day, still having fun...
I was listening to the caroling while I was looking for a reindeer out of the window when I saw a snowflake fall, I really should have been wrapping the toys and that little drum for the kids and then in would be ready for Christmas, but what`s that I hear, its the Hallelujah chorus and it seems to be coming from the Heavens, so I now really need that relaxing cup of hot chocolate and a sit down in my favourite chair.
no words yet...but this is fun!!!
The Hallelujah chorus drinking hot chocolate along with the drums being played by the reindeer went caroling amongst the snowflakes covered toys.
I only got 1 today! 2 down, 23 left to go!
I added 3 more today! Five total... just 20 more to go... tho I think 5 is the total I had last time I played.
another 2 today! Keep 'em coming!
Day three and I finally have one Snowflake! Yeah only 24 more words to go. Woo Hool
Good thing the drum can drown out my personal caroling ability.
I finally got two words ... none until today!
TOYS bring joy,
and if it's a DRUM it will be even more fun..
Susie wants SNOWFLAKES to fill the sky
while CAROLING with HOT CHOCOLATE hoping to stay warm and dry!
REINDEER are sweet
and santa is neat
But let me Repeat
Christmas is best with a baby in it!
So stand and Praise the Father above
Christmas is all about His wonderful love!
In Just a few more days,
we'll be singing the HALLELUJAH CHORUS
Cause when The baby Jesus was born,
He is the greatest gift sent just for US!!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!! Janita
I left my words at work, so I don't know if I got any. I'm crossing my fingers though!
I fell asleep as I was drinking HOT CHOCOLATE from my SNOWFLAKE mug and had a dream my TOY REINDEER were CAROLING the HALLELUJAH DRUM CHORUS!
'Snowflakes' falling is a butiful sight and 'Hot chocolates' to enjoy..yum yum..
Thanks for mentioning our new free BOM....
Hugs Dawn x x x
I almost forgot to join the fun but as the snowflakes fall and the reindeer fly I am now going at 2 words.
kreinhart2147@hotmail.com
Just checked my word list today. So far I have four words. Only 21 to go!!
Is it even mathematically possible to only get 1 word in 3 days? Oh, well, I hope slow and steady wins the race.

I'll just keep beating on my DRUM and wait for more words.
have a nice day/night.
The happy plink of the snowflakes into my hot chocolate seemed to drum out the sound of the hallelujah chorus, caroling sweetly to me as my children open their toys delivered just hours earlier by Santa and his reindeer.
Darc
xxoo
Christmas is coming.
There’s so much to do.
A practiced drum starts drumming.
As the Hallelujah Chorus begins on que.
Though caroling is heard.
There’s not a snowflake in sight.
The toys will be delivered.
By eight reindeer tonight.
With a cup of hot chocolate,
And a twinkle in his eye,
Santa readies himself for he is the pilot.
And off he goes with a quick goodbye.
What a shame... no Hallelujah chorus, or caroling here. The Hot chocolate is going cold, the reindeer are playing with the toys, the snowflake are melting....and no prize winning drum roll here :( Maybe tomorrow :) Fingers crossed, Jenny :)
As I was looking out our window sipping my hot chocolate I spotted a snowflake or two. What is that I hear, I wondered. Just then I saw a group of carolers coming around the corner singing the wonderful Hallelujah chorus. My husband and I agreed, it had been the perfect Christmas morning--all in all-- watching as our young toddling grandaughter hugged her stuffed Reindeer and our baby grandson stared at the colorful picture on a box that held a new toy drum. They seemed content with their new toys.
Merry Christmas to one and all!!!
I have two words total.
Forgot to check all weekend! Unbelievable! Won't do that again! Congrats to the daily winners so far.
We had some snowflakes last night, so I drank some hot chocolate and played with my toys (ok, really fabric, but that's like toys for us!).
The caroling reindeer beat their drum and sang the Hallelujah Chorus when they were given hot chocolate by the animated toys as they watched a rogue snowflake fall to the ground.
HALLELUJAH! Three days and this gives me my first three words! [I was getting worried with no words on days 1 and 2]. Now I can sit back and watch the SNOWFLAKEs fall while I drink my HOT CHOCOLATE!
I can add one!
Thank you for the link to the free BOM!
I now have 4 words. Yeah. Because the reindeer are beating the drums as the snow flakes fall.
I'm up to 3 words!
My reindeer are taking a vacation from wrapping presents.

I'm late looking at Sunday's list, but so happy I have "drum"!!!

Gosh I did not get to check my SUnday list until this morning and I got 4 words!!!The reindeer will bring toys. Do reindeers drink hot chocolate? My son would love another drum to add to his set.

The reindeer were caroling with the Hallelujah chorus, while the drum and toys were covered with hot chocolate and one lone snowflake.
My first 2 words of the game today, reindeer carrying toys.

No words for me today. :-(
No words today! Still hoping I get some words soon!
On Monday, 'my true love gave to me' a special GREETING/S under the MISTLETOE....lol..
Susan

finallysusan60@yahoo.com
slowly but surely...one more word....did you know that there is not one 'SNOWFLAKE' that is exactly the same!
Got two today! Wahoo!
Today I'll chase my husband under the MISTLETOE!
My husband and MISTLETOE. What a great idea!
I drank HOT CHOCOLATE while watching SNOWFLAKE the REINDEER. I got three!!
As I sipped HOT CHOCOLATE while my son played with his DRUM and his other TOYS, in the distance I could hear my neighbors singing the HALLELUJAH CHORUS while CAROLING as the first SNOW FLAKE fell on the REINDEER on my lawn.
None of these words are on my list, but I think Santa is going to post some of my words tomorrow.
I was fortunate to be the first to pour a ceramic creche years ago when so my cow actually has horns. I've shopped for years for a STABLE that might be comparibly the same size. The first year I had the set up after finding the STABLE, I noted one night something moving around in it. A closer look proved my half Siamese had bedded down in there. Perhaps not an animal mentioned in the Christmas story, but there easily could have been one or more, keeping the mice in the stable under control!!
