This song is available on Katherine Dine's Hunk-Ta-Bunk-Ta Holidays:
Songs and StoriesThat Celebrate Global Light
No matter where we are, people gather together in tribes to share: laughter, tears, food, stories, and time together. And our tribes are our families-- whether they be relatives, friends, strangers or a mixture. May joy spread throughout this world to all families no matter what you celebrate, how or with whom.
Home sweet homes turn upside down
When families come from miles around
It starts with Thanksgiving
Then the world is a whirl of festivities
JOY! Oh JOY! Oh JOY to you
And all of your loved ones too.
Freckles on my cousin’s hand
Wrinkles on my old grand dad
Cooing from the high chair
As we gather for supper and say a prayer
Singing every song off-key
Dancing feet that skip the beat
Eyes bright and excited
When the holiday lights are ignited!
JOY! Oh JOY! Oh JOY to you
And all of your loved ones too.
When holidays come every year
We send our wishes far and near
For love to hold every heart
And all of those who are in need,
We wish for peace and harmony
And hope that will light up the dark.
JOY! Oh JOY! Oh JOY to you And all of your loved ones too. JOY! Oh JOY! Oh JOY to you And all of your loved ones too.
