This kind of Christmas

Granger Smith - This Kind of Christmas


This time of year I get together
With the only grandma I got left
I know these days won't last forever
So I cherish every one I get

That's the thing about the holidays
All the simple things mean the most

Like coming home on Christmas Eve
Chevy headlights guiding me like a north star
Showing me the way
The smell of pine tree and apple spice
The whole family's home tonight
Sitting round the fire humming holiday songs
I'm gonna miss this kind of Christmas when it's gone

Dad's got the lights up on the front porch
Mom hung the angel on the tree
She tried so hard to keep our fingers
Off that cherry pie before we eat

We remember when my grandad was around
He really loved this time of year

Like coming home on Christmas Eve
Chevy headlights guiding me like a north star
Showing me the way
Smell that oak log fireplace
3 brothers and a football game
We'll all sit down for supper before too long
I'm gonna miss this kind of Christmas when it's gone

You know the years can fly
They can pass us by, they can leave behind the days that we know
But I've got to try and live my life
Like it's the last time that I'll go

Home on Christmas Eve
Chevy headlights guiding me like a north star
Showing me the way
And I don't think it's a time to waste
We only really have today to make these memories with Dad and Mom
I'm gonna miss this kind of Christmas when it's gone
So I wanna live this kind of Christmas before it's gone
O 'til it's gone
So this Christmas I'm going home

Songkran Festival
(Thai New Year)

Thailand's most celebrated festival is the Songkran Festival. It starts April 13 and lasts between 3 and 10 days, depending on where you are in Thailand. The word Songkran is from the Sanskrit meaning the beginning of a new Solar Year, but nowadays Thailand celebrates the New Year on 31 December.

The Thai people celebrate this festival with water. Everyone gets soaking wet and since it is the hottest season of the year, the custom is quite refreshing. Songkran is a Public Spring Cleaning Day, supported by the religious belief that anything old and useless must be thrown away or it will bring bad luck to the owner.

During the afternoon of the 13th, Buddha images are bathed as part of the ceremony. Young people pour scented water into the hands of elders and parents as a mark of respect while seeking the blessing of the older people. In ancient days, old people were actually given a bath and clothed in new apparel presented by the young folks as a token of respect for the New Year.
