Not really a Christmas Carol but one of my favorites. What Julie Andrews would sing if she were here.
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up with string, These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent false teeth in glasses Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings, These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak, When the knees go bad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel to bad.
Hot tea with crumpets, and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin, Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin, And we won't remmeber our short shrunken frames, When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, when the hips break, When the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life I've had, And then I don't feel to bad.

Joy to the World
Joy to the world! Our Lyme is cured! Let us resume our lives; Let every Lymie, go back to work; and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven,and heaven and nature sing.
Jus-tice to Steere! the Lymies win! Let ticks and bacteria be gone! while fields are free to walk, drive our cars and hug our kids Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let herxes and pains grow, nor ticks infest the ground; LLMD's comes to make His blessing flow far as the cure is found, far as the cure is found, far as, far as the cure is found.
Lymies rule the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove the glories of our righteousness, and wonders of Lymies love, and wonders of Lymies love, and wonders, wonders of Lymies love.
I have been laughing hard for the past 20 minutes. Just checked to see if my catheter is in place - and yes it is - no harm done!
What a wonderful Lymie Spirit!
I'm going to print some out and hang on the walls......
Gaeltick --- I love the Sound of Music and will probably be singing your song all through the year.......
If and when I get more creative - I'll come and add on to this list!

Hi again,
I thought of another one. This is addicting! The kids and I were listening to Christmas songs tonight, and I couldn't help but sing Lyme Lyrics to them.
Sing this one to " Jolly Old Saint Nicholas"
Infectious Disease Specialist..., Lend your ear this way.
Listen very carefully to what I have to say!
Lyme Disease is Coming Soon, to a Child, a Woman or a Man...
Tell me how you will Treat Them, Tell me if you CAN?????
When the clock is striking Twelve, and yet I Still Can't Sleep.
Inside my body the antibiotics, are killing my Coinfections and... my Keets.
And my Memory,... I still can't find, and now I move real Slow.
Yet you say that I Should be Cured, as I took 3 weeks of Doxy in a row.
All I want is to be Pain FREE, and not hurt so bad.. in my head.
Yet this Damn Disease is Crippling me, and still you want to stop... my Meds?
Thank God I have an LLMD who will Cure me... He is the Best.
Tell me Dear Infectious Disease Specialist....., Will You Help the rest????

Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites all the way. Oh what fun it is to be sick every single day! Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites, Lyme Bites what can I say? When will I ever feel OK?
Losing first my health, then my job and house, I'll be living in my car but at least I'll have heat now. Bill collectors can't call, I don't have a phone. They can't send me mail - I don't have an address!
Oh Lyme Disease, Lyme Disease, Lyme Disease is swell. What did I ever do before my life became a living H*ll?
I'm not having one of my better days. I'm going to print these and mail them as Christmas cards to all the wonderful doctors who misdiagnosed me - thank you! Florida Cat

Here is a classic:
***** The Twelve Days of Lyme Disease ***** by Brian Carroll
On the (first, second, etc.) day of Lyme disease a deer tick gave to me....
Twelve IVs dripping Eleven ears ringing Ten fingers tingling Nine words switching Eight muscles twitching Seven lacks of sexing Six MDs perplexing FIVE WESTERN BLOTS Four fleeting thoughts Three skipped beats Two burning feet and An EM rash behind my left knee
OH Spirochete Oh Spirochete How i want to kill you
O Spirochete O Spirochete please get out of my blood
Not only in the summertime, But even in winter is thy prime.
O Spirochete O Spirochete Stop ruining my life
Oh Little Town of Bethlehem
O little town of Lyme How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The years go by; Yet in thy bright lights shineth The everlasting pain; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night.

Great songs! First time I've smiled all day. I'd thank everyone by name personally but it seems to be a herx day complete with bone pain, blurry vision and apparently memory loss. I keep forgetting what I'm about to type. Having trouble spelling and typing (hard to believe I'm a secretary huh?). In fact I feel so awful I'm crawling back to my bed. I hope to emerge later feeling better. The only good part about these days is that when I feel this bad, I take a Zithro and know I'm killing some of those critters off. I'll come back later with a more upbeat Christmas tune.

My bones ache from morning till night, I am weak, I am tired, I don't have much fight.
My muscles are sore, sometimes to the touch, Where has my health gone? I miss it so much. Everyone says that "You look so well." They don't understand that I'm living in hell.
My memory fails me, I'm tense and uptight, This disease rages on, my brain isn't right. My eyes often hurt me, they twitch and are red.I often forget what it was you just said.
There are days that I sit and stare into space,This cloud just comes on me, I have no sense of place.
I wish someone could tell me, "You'll soon be well," For the war I am fighting is living hell.
No one understands the pain that I feel, People don't understand my disease is real.
MY DISEASE IS...LYME. `

Hey there, Big Bird. I didn't realize it was back up and I went looking for it. Only AFTER I cruised through (and sung a few songs to myself) did I realize that it was back on the board. That was going to be my Christmas present to you. Someone beat me to it. Too bad. Guess I'll have to write a few songs later this week to make up for it. I know the board can't wait for that. HA!

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
"Knocking Around my Spirochetes"
Knocking around my spirochetes Watch them run, die and drop Herxing so bad I can barely see But I'm not about to stop.
Knocking around my spirochetes Pull out the wrestling ring Later I'll sizzle them in high high heat And not feed them anything.
I always get that estatic Feeling when Im near Any scorching heat to make my friends jolly I'm decking their halls with more than holly...
Knocking around my spirochetes And having a wonderful holiday My borrelia is barely hanging on And more ceftin's on its way!
Merry Xmas All

This is my first carol season, and these are all WONDERFUL!
It's been a very long day today -- working then seeing my godson as a lead in his school play -- but tomorrow I'll dust off my guitar and my creativity...
Great smiles and laughs, everyone!
