I didn't think to take a picture, but the carolling dinosaurs in Dinoland are up above Donald. Not lit up, but apparently have been there for a few days.
(Verse 1)
Here we come a-roaring
Beneath the ancient trees,
Dinosaurs a-wandering,
With joy upon the breeze.

(Chorus)
Love and joy come to you,
And to you, our roars anew,
May we stomp and sing, bring a Mesozoic spring,
And celebrate the dino year with you!

(Verse 2)
We're not the daily hunters,
Hunting prey in the land,
We're the friendly dinosaurs,
Roaming hand in hand.

(Chorus)
Love and joy come to you,
And to you, our roars anew,
May we stomp and sing, bring a Mesozoic spring,
And celebrate the dino year with you!

(Verse 3)
Kind dinosaurs, kind dinosaurs,
By the warmth of your firelight,
Think of us, your ancient friends,
In the starry dino night.

(Chorus)
Love and joy come to you,
And to you, our roars anew,
May we stomp and sing, bring a Mesozoic spring,
And celebrate the dino year with you!

(Verse 4)
Set a table, bring some greens,
Share your Christmas feast.
Bring some leaves and dino treats,
In the spirit of the beast.

(Chorus)
Love and joy come to you,
And to you, our roars anew,
May we stomp and sing, bring a Mesozoic spring,
And celebrate the dino year with you!

(Verse 5)
Bless the master, bless the mistress,
And the children by their side,
May our roars and joyful songs
Echo far and wide.

(Chorus)
Love and joy come to you,
And to you, our roars anew,
May we stomp and sing, bring a Mesozoic spring,
And celebrate the dino year with you!

So gather 'round, dear friends of old,
In our prehistoric tale retold,
With roars and stomps, our hearts renew,
In the Mesozoic, we wassail with you!

The "Holiday" parade sings "It's Christmastime" about a thousand times over.

Minnie's holiday fireworks has "Christmas" in the name and includes music from Christian carols. And this was a rather recent update to the fireworks.

Not to mention the explicitly religious readings from the Gospels and sacred song that's included in the Candlelight Processional that's not only in EPCOT, but also in DL.

Try as you might to paint Disney as likely to join "the war on Christmas," the facts belay that conspiracy theory.
Do they read from scripture every show? I’ve been every other year for three years. I have never experienced the candlelight. I would like to this year. Any advise?

Yes, same script every year. The infancy narratives from Luke and Matthew and a bit of Messianic prophecies from the Hebrew Bible.

Tons of video available on YouTube if you want to be spoiled.

You all have NO idea how happy my heart is to see Christmas decor with red ribbons and not that 50th gold stuff they put everywhere... I like red and green! I am headed into my office now to decorate my entire teams space.. I have 11 totes of garlands and decor to put up! 'Tis the season to be Merry!

I assuming the same advice for MK on a party night holds true for the Christmas party? Basically on party days the park is much emptier during the day than non-party days?

I'm taking my 10 month old to Disney for the first time this holiday season and don't expect we would make it much past 6pm anyway.
