Santa’s Coal : Story via CHATGPT 🎅 🧑‍🎄

The story of where Santa Claus gets his coal is a popular Christmas tale that has been told for generations. According to the story, Santa Claus uses coal as a way to punish naughty children who have misbehaved throughout the year.

The legend goes that Santa keeps a list of all the good boys and girls in the world, and on Christmas Eve, he delivers presents to the good children while leaving coal for the naughty ones. The coal is said to be a reminder to the naughty children to be better behaved in the future.

There are many different versions of this story, with some versions saying that Santa Claus gets the coal from a coal mine, while others say that he collects it from the ashes of the fireplace. Some versions even suggest that Santa Claus has his own special coal-making workshop, where he and his elves create the coal for naughty children.

Despite the many different stories about where Santa gets his coal, the underlying message remains the same: that it is important for children to be good and behave well, so they can receive presents from Santa rather than coal

Angels We Have Heard On High Sing Along with Santa

Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! The herald angels sing
” Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ by highest heav’n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris’n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”

FROM WIKI

“Angels We Have Heard on High” is a Christmas carol of French origin in the public domain. The song commemorates the story of the birth of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel of Luke, in which shepherds outside Bethlehem encounter a multitude of angels singing and praising the newborn child.

The words of the song are based on a traditional French carol known as Les Anges dans nos campagnes (literally, “Angels in our countryside”) composed by an unknown author in Languedoc, France. That song has received many adjustments or alignments including its most common English version that was translated in 1862 by James Chadwick, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, northeast England. The carol quickly became popular in the West Country, where it was described as ‘Cornish’ by R.R. Chope, and featured in Pickard-Cambridge‘s Collection of Dorset Carols.^[1]

There is also a Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) translation of the carol which is known as Ainglean chuala sinn gu h-ard (literally, “Angels We Have Heard on High”). This was translated into Gaelic by Iain MacMilan from James Chadwick’s English translation.

Angels We Have Heard On High

French

Les anges dans nos campagnes

Ont entonné l’hymne des cieux,

Et l’écho de nos montagnes

Redit ce chant mélodieux

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Bergers, pour qui cette fête ?

Quel est l’objet de tous ces chants ?

Quel vainqueur, quelle conquête

Mérite ces cris triomphants :

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Ils annoncent la naissance

Du libérateur d’Israël

Et pleins de reconnaissance

Chantent en ce jour solennel

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Cherchons tous l’heureux village

Qui l’a vu naître sous ses toits

Offrons-lui le tendre hommage

Et de nos cœurs et de nos voix

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Bergers, quittez vos retraites,

Unissez-vous à leurs concerts,

Et que vos tendres musettes

Fassent retentir les airs

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Jingle Bells Sing Along with Santa and Elves

LYRICS

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago,
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow,
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white
Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls tonight
and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you’ll take the lead.

FROM WIKI

“Jingle Bells” is one of the best-known^[1] and commonly sung^[2] American Christmas songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” in the autumn of 1857. Even though it is now associated with theChristmas and holiday season, it was actually originally written for American Thanksgiving.^[3]^[4] It has been claimed that it was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir; however, historians dispute this, stating that it was much too “racy” to be sung by a children’s church choir in the days it was written.
