Christmas Day


Meet our friends Rob and Jen. They are from Utah but choose to spend Christmas on a tropical island instead of a ski slope.

Christmas Day we opened Ola Lola's for our Community Christmas Potluck. Rob and Jen and their children Zach and Jada joined us for the celebration.

In addition to Jesus and Jimmy Buffet, December 25th is, it turns out, also Rob's birthday. So in the true spirit of Ola Lola's Rob got an Elaine-written birthday song. Actually, not just a song but a Christmas medley. Everyone joined in to wish Rob a very happy birthday.




DECK THE HALLS
Eat some food and fill your tummies        Falalalala lalalala
Christmas brings so many yummies        Falalalala lalalala

Don we now our beach apparel                Falalalala lalala
Sing we now this birthday carol                 Falalalala lalalala

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
Jen better watch out, Jada better not cry,
Zack better not pout, I’m telling you why  - Rob is here to enjoy his day

He’s laughing right now, Right here in this space
Santa’s gonna come, Put a smile on his face - Rob is here to enjoy his day

He’s got his family with him, The dogs are back at home
It’s Christmas AND his birthday, So we won’t let him alone

You better sing now, You better sing loud
You better join in to drown me out - Rob is here to enjoy his day

JINGLE BELLS
Rob’s birthday, Rob’s birthday - It’s on Christmas day
Oh what fun it is to sing a Christmas song this way

Rob’s birthday, Rob’s birthday - It’s on Christmas day
Oh what fun it is to sing a Christmas song this way

Rob and Jen are here, With Zack and Jada too
Rob’s added one more year, And we all say “Woo Hoo!”
It’s Puerto Rico fun to sing a Birthday song
And since it’s Christmas too, We’ll make it twice as long

Rob’s birthday, Rob’s birthday - It’s on Christmas day
Oh what fun it is to sing a Christmas song this way

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish Rob a happy birthday
We wish Rob a happy birthday
We wish Rob a happy birthday
Cuz he’s added a year!

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a happy birthday – ROB
And
We wish you all a Merry Christmas
And
We wish you a happy birthday – ROB
And a Happy New Year!


Happy Birthday, Rob. And Happy New Year! And thanks to everyone who joined us for the potluck. It was fun. And so much food! All of it wonderful. Thank you!
