Animated Christmas Snow Globes

      A snow globe is a transparent sphere, usually made of glass, enclosing a miniaturized scene of some sort, often together with a model of a landscape. The sphere also encloses the water in the globe; the water serves as the medium through which the "snow" falls. To activate the snow, the globe is shaken to churn up the white particles.

Christmas Bells Are Ringing

Over the snow, the Christmas snow,

Joyfully speeding away, 

Hearts are swelling with keen delight

This beautiful Christmas-day,

As jing-a-ling-jingle the sleigh-bells go,

Merrily over the snow.

Flying away on wings of steel,

Swift in their onward filght;

Cheeks with crimson color aglow,

Eyes with enjoyment bright.

As jing-a-ling-jingle the sleigh-bells go,

Merrily over the snow.

Silvery notes of music, float

On the breezes light and free,

Song and laughter, echoing far

Harmonious sounds of glee.

As jing-a-ling-jingle the sleigh-bells go,

Merrily over the snow.

Hands are clasped and fond words said,

While gentle hearts are won.

And who may know what future good

This Christmas day begun.

As jing-a-ling-jingle the sleigh-bells go,

Merrily over the snow.
