Donnegal's favorite monthly Christmas ------– songs WHENACHILD IS BORN A ray of hope flickers in the sky, A tiny star lights up, way up high, All across the la~d dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born. A silent wish sails the seven seas. The winds of change whisper iii the trees, And the wall of doubt crun;il>}~§ tossed and torn This comes to pass when a child is born. A rosy hue settles all around, You've got the feel, you're on solid ground, For a spell or two no one seems forlorn, This comes to pass when a child is born. And all this happens because the world is waiting Waiting for one child, black, white, yellow no one knows, But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighboqr, And misery and suffering will be worlds to be forgotten forever. It's all a dream, an illusion now. It must come true, sometime, soon, somehow, All across the land dawns a brand new morn, . This comes to pass when a child is born. SILENT NIGHT Silent Night, Holy Night!, All "is calm, all is bright, 'Round yon virgin, mother and child, Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. 3 Baby Boom (pg) JCWatt has it all; her career, money, and a banker for a boyfriend.

Armed only with wooden stakes, gar– lic arid silver bullets the monster squad are here. You know who to call when you have ghosts butwho do you call when you have mon– sters? It's a good family film.
