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 jobWhen you’re in town.
Later on, we’ll conspire,Aswedreambythefire
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 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.

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happysoul,
With a corncob pipe and a button noseand two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, theysay,
He was made of snow but the childrenknow how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in thatold silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his headhe began to dance around.
O, Frosty the snowmanwas alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laughand play just the same as you and me.
Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman knewthe sun was hot that day,So he said, “Let’s run and
we’ll have some funnow before I melt away.”
Down to the village,with a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there allaround the square saying,
Catch me if you can.
He led them down the streets of townrighttothetrafficcop.
And he only paused a moment whenhe heard him holler “Stop!”
For Frosty the snow manhad to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,“Don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again some day.”
Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.

God rest you merry, gentlemen,Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our SaviorWas born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satan’s pow’rWhen we were gone astray;
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our heavenly FatherA blessed angel came.
And unto certain shepherdsBrought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by name:
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
“Fear not,” then said the angel,“Let nothing you affright,This day is born a Savior,
Of virtue, power, and might;So frequently to vanquish allThe friends of Satan quite”;
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
The shepherds at those tidingsRejoiced much in mind,
Andlefttheirflocksa-feeding,In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightwayThisblessedbabetofind:
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
But when to Bethlehem they came,Whereat this infant lay
They found him in a manger,Where oxen feed on hay;His mother Mary kneeling,
Unto the Lord did pray:
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Now to the Lord sing praises,All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace;This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface:
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
(refrain)Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be lightFrom now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,Make the Yuletide 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 usgather near to us once more.
(refrain)
Through the years we all will be togetherIf the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
It’s beginning to look a lot like ChristmasEv’rywhere you go;
Takealookinthefive-and-ten,glisteningonceagainWith candy canes and silver lanes aglow.It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev’ry store,But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shootsIs the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walkIs the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev’rywhere you go;
There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas;Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you singRight within your heart.

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.There’ll be parties for hosting,marshmallows for toasting and
caroling out in the snow.there’ll be scary ghost stories andtales of the glories of Christmases
long, long ago.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.There’ll be much mistletoeing
and hearts will be glowing,when loved ones are near.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Joy To The WorldJoy 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;Whilefieldsandfloods,rocks,hillsandplains
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;HecomestomakeHisblessingsflow
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 proveThe glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeerHad a very shiny noseAnd if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowsAll of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him namesThey never let poor RudolphPlay in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas EveSanta came to say
Rudolph with your nose so brightWon’t you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved himAnd they shouted out with glee
“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeerYou’ll go down in history!”

Mistletoe hung where you can seeEv’ry couple tries to stop
You will get a sentimental feelingWhen you hearvoices singing
“Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly”
Rocking around the Christmas TreeHave a happy holiday
Everyone’s dancing merrilyIn a new old fashioned way
Rocking around the Christmas TreeLet the Christmas Spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pieand we’ll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feelingWhen you hearvoices singing
“Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly”
Rocking around the Christmas TreeHave a happy holiday
Everyone’s dancing merrilyIn a new old fashioned way

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the skyAnd stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
Away in a Manger
