Angels we have heard on high

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’ver the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be?

Which inspires your heavenly song?

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping on 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 a-glow

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 going to 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

Although it’s been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you!

Do you hear what I hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb

Do you see what I see?

Way up in the sky, little lamb

Do you see what I see?

A star, a star

dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy

Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song

High above the tree

With a voice as big as the sea

With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king

Do you know what I know?

In your palace warm, mighty king

Do you know what I know?

A child, a child

Shivers in the cold

Let us bring him silver and gold

Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people ev’rywhere

Listen to what I say!

Pray for peace, people ev’rywhere

Listen to what I say!

The child, the child

Sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light!

He will bring us goodness and light!

Frosty the snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say

He was made of snow but the children know

How 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

O 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

Thumpetty, thump, thump (2x)

Look at frosty go

Thumpetty, thump, thump (2x)

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

Saying “catch me if you can!”

He led them down the streets of town

Right to the traffic cop

And he only paused a moment when

He heard him holler “Stop!”

For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye saying “don’t you cry

I’ll be back again some day”

Thumpetty, thump, thump(2x)

Look at Frosty go

Thumpetty, thump, thump, (2x)

Over the hills of snow

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 we 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

Have a holly, jolly Christmas

Have a holly, jolly Christmas

It’s the best time of the year

I don’t know if there’ll be snow

But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly, jolly Christmas

And when you walk down the street

Say hello to friends you know

And ev’ryone you meet.

Oh ho, the mistletoe

Hung where you can see

Somebody waits for you

Kiss her once for me

Have a holly, jolly Christmas,

And in case you didn’t hear

Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas

This year!

Here we come a-wassailing

Here we come a-wassailing

Among the leaves so green,

Here we come a-wand’ring

So fair to be seen.

Love and joy come to you

And to you your wassail too,

And God bless you, and send you a happy new year

And God send you a happy new year.

We are not daily beggars

That beg from door to door,

But we are neighbor’s children

Whom you have seen before

Love and joy come to you…

God bless the master of this house,

Likewise the mistress too;

And all the little children

That round the table go.

Love and joy come to you…

I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus

Wow, mommy's kissing Santa Claus

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night

She didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peep

She thought that I was tucked up

In my bedroom, fast asleep

Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus

Underneath his beard so snowy white

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had only seen

Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

In the bleak midwinter

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter, long, long ago

Our God, Heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain

Heaven and earth shall flee away, when he comes to reign

In the bleak midwinter, a stable place sufficed

The Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ

Angels and archangels may have gathered there

Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air

But his mother only in her maiden bliss

Worshipped the beloved with a kiss

What can I give Him, poor as I am

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb

If I were a wise man, I would do my part

Yet what I can I give Him… give Him my heart

It came upon a midnight clear

It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold:

“Peace on earth, goodwill to men from heavens all gracious King!”

The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings

unfurled;

And still their heavenly music floats o’er all the weary world;

Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing,

And ever o’er it’s Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.

For lo! The days are hastening on by prophets seen of old,

When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold,

When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace,

their King.

And the whole world send back the song which now the angels

sing.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

It's the most wonderful time of the year

With the kids jingle belling

And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"

It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all

With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings

When friends come to call

It's the hap- happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting

Marshmallows for toasting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories of

Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistletoe-ing

And hearts will be glowing

When loved ones are near

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Jingle bells

Dashing through the snow - In a one horse open sleigh

O’ver the fields we go - Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtails 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 upshot

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells …

Jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells sing and jingle bells ring

Snowing’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun

Now, the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancin’ and prancin’ 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 glidin’ in a one horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock.

Mix and a-mingle in a jinglin’ beat

That’s the jingle bell rock.

That’s the jingle bell (3x) rock!

Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Jolly old St. Nicholas - Lean your ear this way!

Don’t you tell a single soul - What I’m going to say

Christmas Eve is coming soon - Now you dear old man

Whisper what you’ll bring to me - Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve - When I’m fast asleep

Down the chimney broad and black - With your pack you’ll creep

All the stockings you will find - Hanging in a row

Mine will be the shortest one - You’ll be sure to know

Johnny wants a pair of skates - Susy wants a sled

Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue and red

As of me I’m not too sure, so I’ll say goodnight

Choose for me dear Santa Clause what you think is right.

Joy to the World

Joy to the World

The Lord is come

Let Earth receive her King

Let every heart

Prepare him room

Let heaven and nature sing

Let heaven and nature sing

Let heaven and nature sing

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 wonders of his love.

Let it snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we’ve no place to go

Let is snow! Let is snow! Let is snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping

And I’ve bought some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I’ll hate going out in the storm

But if you’ll really hold me tight

All the way home I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying

And my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing

But as long as you love me so

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Oh Christmas tree

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging; (repeat)

Not only green when summer’s here,

But also when it’s cold and drear.

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree!

Thy leaves are so unchanging.

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree!

Much pleasure thou canst give me (repeat)

How often has the Christmas tree

Afforded me the greatest glee!

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree

Much pleasure thou canst give me.

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree

Thy candles shine so brightly (repeat)

From base to summit, gay and bright,

There’s only splendor for the sight.

O Christmas tree! O Christmas tree!

Thy candles shine so brightly.

Oh holy night

Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining

This is the time a new decade is born

Long has lived the world in fear and error pining

But when peace appears, the soul knows its worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Rise from your knees

And hear the people’s voices

Oh night divine

Oh night divine, let peace be born

Oh night, oh night

Oh night divine.

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

Rocking around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop.

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie

And we’ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feelin’

when you hear

Voices singing let’s be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone’s dancing merrily

In the new old fashioned way.

Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw him

You would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph

Join 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!”

Santa Baby

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me

Been an awful good girl

Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, an ‘54 convertible too, light blue

I'll wait up for you, dear

Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I've missed

Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed

Next year I could be just as good

If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot

Been an angel all year

Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey, there's one thing I really do need, the deed

To a platinum mine

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks

Sign your 'x' on the line

Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree

With some decorations bought at Tiffany

I really do believe in you

Let’s see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing

A ring – I don’t mean on the phone

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry! … Tonight?

Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out – you better not cry

You better not pout – I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He’s making a list – checking it twice

Gonna find out who’s been naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping

He knows when you’re awake

He knows if you’ve been bad or good

So be good for goodness’ sake.

With little tin horns and little toy drums

Rootty toot toots and rummy tum tums

Santa Clause is coming to town.

He sees you when you’re sleeping…

You better watch out – you better not cry…

Silver bells

City sidewalk, 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 ring,

Soon it will be Christmas day.

City 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 - that is Santa’s big

scene,

And above all this bustle you’ll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells, …

Sleigh ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling - ring ting tingling too

Come on, it’s lovely weather - for a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling - and friends are calling “yoo-hoo”

Come on it’s lovely weather - for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let’s go!

Let’s look at the show - we’re riding in a wonderland of snow.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it’s grand

Just holding your hand. - we’re gliding along with a song

Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rose - and comfy cozy are we

We’re snuggled up together - like two birds of a feather would be

Let’s take that road before us - and sing a chorus or two

Come on, it’s lovely weather – for a sleigh ride together with you

Silent night

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round young virgin mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace (2x)

Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing alleluia!

Christ the savior is born (2x)

Silent night, holy night

Son of god, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, lord at thy birth (2x)

The first Noel

The first Noel the angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay a keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel Noel Noel Noel - Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east beyond them far

And to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night

Noel Noel Noel Noel - Born is the King of Israel

And by the light of that same star

Three wise men came from the country far

To seek for a King was their intent

And to follow the star wherever it went

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel - Born is the King of Israel

This star drew nigh to the north-west

O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel - Born is the King of Israel

Then entered in those wise men three

Fell reverently upon their knee

And offered there in his presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel - Born is the kind of Israel

The Grinch

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch You really are a heel You’re as cuddly as a cactus You’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch, You’re a bad banana with a … greasy black peel.

You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch. Your heart’s an empty hole. Your brain is full of spiders. You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch, I wouldn’t touch you with … a 39 ½ foot pole.

You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch You have termites in your smile, You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch, Given the choice between the two of you, I’d take the seasick crocodile. You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch. You’re a nasty wasty skunk. Your heart is full of unwashed socks. Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch The three best words that best describe you, Are as follows, and I quote: “Stink – Stank – Stunk”!

You’re a rotter, Mr Grinch You’re the king of sinful sots Your heart’s a dead tomato squashed with moldy purple spots Mr. Grinch, Your soul is an appalling dump heap Overflowing with the most disgraceful Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, Mangled up in tangled up knots.

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch With a nauseous super naus You’re a crooked jerky jockey and, You drive a crooked horse Mr. Grinch, You’re a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich With arsenic sauce!

We three kings of orient are

We three kings of orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountain

Following yonder star, oh, oh

Star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain

Gold I bring to crown him again

King forever, ceasing never

Over us all to reign, oh…

Frankincense to offer have I

Incense owns a deity nigh

Prayer and praising, all men rising

Worship him, god most high, oh…

What child is this?

What child is this who laid to rest

On Mary’s lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherd watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the king,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste, to bring him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary.

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh,

Come peasant, king to own him

The king of kings salvation brings,

Let loving hearts enthrone him.

This, this is Christ the king,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;

Haste, haste, to bring him laud,

The babe, the son of Mary.

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 our 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 our days be merry and bright

And my all your Christmases be white

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 we’ll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the plans that we’ve made

Walking in a winter wonderland.

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.

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.
