Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!

See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la!
Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la!
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la!
Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

Have Yourself a
 Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas  Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas  Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here were are as in olden days  happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together  If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman, was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the Snowman, is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow, but the children know he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around!
Oh, Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be;
and the children say he could laugh and play, just the same as you and me.

Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump, over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snowman, knew the sun was hot that day,
so he said, "Let's run, and we'll have some fun now, before I melt away."
Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there, all around the square, sayin', "Catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop;
and only paused a moment, when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
For Frosty, the Snowman, had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't cry, I'll be back again some day."

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donder and Blitzen. But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!

White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white.

Silver Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks. Dressed in holiday style
In the air There's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights Even stop lights  Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle You'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day


Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow  On a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go,  Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring,  making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing  A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells  Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride  In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells  Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride  In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago,  I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright  Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank  Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank,  And then we got upsot.

The Christmas Song

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire  Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir  And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some Mistletoe
help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow  Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies On his sleigh
And every mother's Child is gonna spy to see if 
Reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this Simple phrase to kids from One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times Many ways  “Merry Christmas to you”

Oh Holy Night
Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees  Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine   Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine  Oh night divine

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

Silent night, holy night!  Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar  Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!  Christ the Savior is born

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing,  "Glory to the newborn King!"
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,  God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,  Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,  "Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,  "Glory to the newborn King!"

Joy to the World
Joy to The world! the Lord has come  Let earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room  And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing  And heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world! the Savior reigns  Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy  Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat,
Repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love   And wonders of His love
And wonder wonders of His love

Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring are you listening
in the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job when you're in town

Later on  we'll conspire  as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
until the the other kids knock him down

When it snows  ain't it thrilling   Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland

Christmas Dinner


And it came to pass on a Christmas evening

When all the doors were shuttered tight

Outside standing, a lonely boy child

Cold and shivering in the night

On the street every window

Save but one was gleaming bright

And to this window walked the boy-child

Peeking in saw candlelight

Through other windows he had looked at turkeys

Ducks, and geese, and cherry pies

But through this window saw a gray-haired lady

Table bare and tears in her eyes

Into his coat reached the boy child

Knowing well there was little there

He took from his pocket his own Christmas dinner

A bit of cheese and some bread to share

His outstretched hands held the food and they trembled

As the door it opened wide

Said he, "Would you share with me Christmas dinner?"

Gently said she, "Come inside"

The gray-haired lady brought forth to the table

Glasses two, last drops of wine

Said she, "Here's a toast to everyone's Christmas

And especially yours and mine"

And it came to pass on that Christmas evening

When all the doors were shuttered tight

That in that town the happiest Christmas

Was shared by candlelight
