Weather forecast: Cloudy 🌥️
Event status: Definitely on 👍😊
Please come to a free WINTER SING-ALONG on Sunday, Dec 22 @ 3:00 PM. It will be outside of CVS located at the corner of Shattuck & Rose in North Berkeley, rain or shine. (The building has awning.)
A “Winter Sing-Along” is a chance for folks to get together, see friends, sing some holiday songs, and have fun. It is not necessary to know the lyrics or the tunes by heart. You can see the lyrics below and follow along on your phone. If you wish to listen to the songs in advance, I made a Spotify playlist for you. (Songs 1-8 are for the Sing-Along; songs 10-16 are just for your enjoyment.) It’s also fine to hum along or just listen.
The more people, the merrier! Feel free to bring your Significant Other, your kids, and a few friends. Also, this gathering is completely free. No RSVP needed.
Don’t forget to get some hot cocoa and snacks after the Winter Sing-Along. There are lots of great food spots nearby including Saul’s, Peet’s, Epicurious Garden, and Crepevine.
One more thing… this event is not related in any way to ketamine research or psychedelic medicines… but this is the only website that I have!
Warmly, RAQUELF

JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world the lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing

And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders and wonders of his love
DECK THE HALLS

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la, la la la, la la la (transition chorus)
Troll the ancient yuletide carol

SILENT NIGHT
– Starting Note = F
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah
Christ the saviour is born
Christ the saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of god, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus lord at thy birth
Jesus lord at thy birth
WINTER WONDERLAND
– Starting Note = C
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
We sing a love song, as we stroll along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say: are you married? We’ll say: no man
But you can do the job while you’re in town
Later on, we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
– Starting Note = Bb
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
With news of joy foretold
Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven’s all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
AMAZING GRACE
– Starting Note = F
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
HERE WE GO A-WASSAILING
– Starting Note = G
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green
Here we come a-wandering
So fair to be seen
Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And god bless you and send you a happy new year
And god send you a happy new year
God bless the master of this house
Likewise the mistress too
And all the little children
That round the table go
Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And god bless you and send you a happy new year
And god send you a happy new year
LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH
– Starting Note = C
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our mother
Family all are we
Let us walk with each other
In perfect harmony
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment, and live
Each moment, in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
