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

Saturdays Thanksgiving to Christmas CLICK HERE for TICKETS

Every Saturday morning Santa welcomes all to share their holiday wish lists while he poses for family photos and shares a Continental Breakfast (see below). Then Santa and the Elves present ELFPROV, an interactive holiday themed comedy show for all ages. The morning ends with Santa leading a few songs before taking off to get ready for Christmas Eve.

Here is how each morning flows…

Lobby/Holding room opens at 9am. We don’t want early birds out in the cold.

House opens at 9:30.

Come early to meet Santa and take pictures. Bring your holiday wish lists and be ready to whisper in Santa’s Ear the #1 item on the list. Bring your own camera. Elves will help take family photos. We will also take pictures and post online for free download. We do not have printed pictures to take home. There is a continental breakfast served of mini rolls, donuts, muffins, yogurt, fruit, cheeses, coffee, juice and bottled water… Oh and of course Santa always has a few candy canes and other sweet options.

10am SHOWTIME!!! – ELFPROV

The Elves have a great show for all ages, creating original songs, stories and skits based on your suggestions. OK to take photo and video as your loved ones get on stage to participate….

10:45 Santa will lead a round of Carols. Hope all are warmed-up and ready to sing along. This helps all get higher up on the list of good boys and girls.

FYI The show often starts late when the show is sold out. Santa will not let the show start until every child in line has had a chance to say hello. But due to a busy holiday schedule, Santa cannot meet with late comers after the show so PLEASE be on time. Santa hates to disappoint the children because the parents were being naughty.

Go Go Tell It on the Mountain Sing Along with Santa

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour’s birth:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God send us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

When I am a seeker,
I seek both night and day;
I seek the Lord to help me,
And He shows me the way:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

FROM WIKI

“Go Tell It on the Mountain” is an African-American spiritual song, compiled by John Wesley Work, Jr., dating back to at least 1865, that has been sung and recorded by many gospel and secular performers. It is considered a Christmas carol because its original lyrics celebrate the Nativity of Jesus:

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
