Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light,
From now on
Your troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on
Your troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who are dear to us,
They gather near to us once more
Through the years,
We'll always be together,
If the Fates allow,
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the land, 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,
To sing a love song,
While we stroll along,
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
We'll 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,
We'll 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
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman,
Is a fairytale they say,
He was made of snow, but the children know
How he came to life one day
For there must have been some magic,
In that old top 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
Frosty the Snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman,
A fairytale they say,
Was made of snow,
But he came to life one day
There must have been some magic,
In that old top hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around
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"
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!"
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner 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
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?"
The how the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
The how the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

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 halleluiah,
Christ the savior is born,
Christ the savior is born
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light,
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord at Thy birth,
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, 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
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found
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, wonders, of His love
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
Christ by highest heav'n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace,
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of Earth,
Born to give them second birth,
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King

I mean the big, fat man with the long, white beard,
He's coming to town!
