Book 3.  “Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer”

Dear Friends,

Many of you may not be familiar with “Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer” the song, or the Operetta. Here is the song, and, over the next few weeks  I will post the complete Operetta.

How well I remember being  a little fellow “doun Nisky School” doing the annual Christmas Quadrille with the beautiful little  Maeling Joseph.  We were surrounded by, or rather, wrapped in the love and care of the rough-hewn but sainted Nisky community, and the larger less rough-hewn but no less sainted..(at least at Christmas time)..St. Thomas community. I loved our Christmas customs, cakes, tarts, people gathering, the singing, the foreday morning Fungi Bands, our local hand-made Angels, ornaments and paper chains and not least  (especially when fully decked out)   our beautiful local Christmas Trees that (yes, like people all over the world)…we had to go “tru de bush” to find, cut down and carry home.

However, I felt that the warm weather world and little girls were under represented in the larger picture, and I set out to change that as best I could (as you’ll see). I hope that you will enjoy “Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer”  and perhaps  share her with your family and friends.

  Sandy The Bluenosed Reindeer

We’ve all heard of Rudolph, whose nose was shiny bright
And how he guided Santa’s sleigh through the foggy night
But there’s a little Reindeer whose nose is icy blue
And now they’ve made a place for her in Reindeer history too.

Sandy is the Reindeer whose story’s never told
Cause who’d believe a Reindeer didn’t like the cold
Who believes in Reindeer whose little noses freeze
Shivering and shaking and knocking at the knees.

Then one night it happened down in Port of Spain
The other Reindeer got so hot they started to complain
“Let me help you Santa” her voice was sure and strong
And that’s how Sandy found her way into a Christmas song

Sandy is the Reindeer who’s story’s never told
Cause who’d believe a Reindeer didn’t like the cold
Who believes in Reindeer who’s little noses freeze
Shivering and shaking and knocking at the knees.

Now Sandy leads for Santa, when it’s time to go
Any where around the world that it doesn’t snow
The Boys and Girls all love her y’know. there’s an awful lot
Of places in the world where all the Christmas’s are hot

Sandy is the Reindeer whose story’s never told
Cause who’d believe a Reindeer didn’t like the cold
Who’d believe a Reindeer whose nose was icy blue
But now they’ve made a place for her
In Reindeer history too…
