Bless Us All (A Muppet
Blessing)
Listener Submission: Most Unusual Wedding
Music Story
At our wedding we had a song from The Muppet Christmas
Carol. It's the song of blessing that Tiny Tim (Robin)
sings to the Bob Cratchitt family (Kermit, Miss Piggy, Robin,
and two miniature Miss Piggies) before they begin the meager
Christmas dinner that touches Mr. Scrooge's (Michael Cain)
heart. The name of the song is "Bless Us All." The
song includes wonderful words about laughing and playing games
together (important to our families), and love of family.
I think Paul Allen composed it.
My husband and I had seen the movie on one of our dates, and
now we traditionally watch the movie every year and play the
song whenever we have Christmas at our house.
It was a lovely blessing for our wedding and only those close
to us know that it's a Muppet song!
