      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time moves on
and the seasons turn
Friends come and go
And the days grow cold

So we huddle together
Make the days special
with small kindnesses
here and there</p>

<p>When the world is at its darkest
We don&#39;t cower and hide
We rejoice
Because we know what happens next</p>

<p>The days grow brighter
The air grows warmer
Flowers will begin to bloom
And we gather together and celebrate</p>

<p>Because we&#39;re halfway out of the dark</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sparkling stars fall
all around me
as I dance and twirl
under the full moon

The ground crunches
with every step
of my joyous dance
surrounded by stars</p>

<p>Some I catch
most I watch
as they drift
to the ground below</p>

<p>These cold stars sparkle
shining in the night
just like me
as I dance with them</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(Told from the perspective of the cast of Girl in Red)</em></p>

<p><em>(Princess)</em>
Happy Christmas everyone
It&#39;s been a long time coming
We&#39;re all together at last
It&#39;s almost a little numbing

<em>(Skyeyes)</em>
Everyone else is ready
There&#39;s nothing to fear
The danger&#39;s behind us
and everyone&#39;s here</p>

<p><em>(Brain)</em>
Get up and go
We finally have the chance
I&#39;ve been waiting a long time
For our Snowy Time Dance</p>

<p><em>(Firecracker)</em>
We made mistakes along the way
Said and did things we shouldn&#39;t have
But in the end, found a bright future
Imagined this?  We couldn&#39;t have.</p>

<p><em>(Moon)</em>
The snow&#39;s beautiful
Gently falling from the sky
A sparkling reward for us
And all the trying times</p>

<p><em>(Toad)</em>
We&#39;re all side by side
No one needs to doubt
You fight one, you fight us all
Cos we protect those we care about</p>

<p><em>(Cohort)</em>
The future&#39;s uncertain
For once, I don&#39;t know what to do
But I know it&#39;ll be alright
Because I&#39;ve got all of you</p>

<p><em>(Rose)</em>
Being so far from home
Made this a hard climb
But I&#39;m here with you all now
So I&#39;ll say Happy Snowy Time</p>

<p><em>(Sky)</em>
Happy Snowy Time, everyone
Good luck on life&#39;s journeys
You can&#39;t predict where you&#39;ll go
But you&#39;ll end up with some great stories</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Snowflakes dance
Like glittering stardust
Falling from up above
In a season of peace and trust

Glowing crystals
too small for our eye
Bring the heavens to the ground
Like walking on the night sky</p>

<p>Light a fire
Gather around to stay warm
Pass around mugs of cocoa
Let unity be the norm</p>

<p>Give gifts
Whether from a menorah or a tree
We can all celebrate together
It doesn&#39;t matter what you believe</p>

<p>The snow falls on all of us
We all feel the cold
It doesn&#39;t care about race or religion
It won&#39;t discriminate between young or old</p>

<p>Enjoy the end of the year
Look back on highs and lows
Let your best shine through
Caught and reflected by glittering snow</p>
