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.
Son of God, oh, love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace.
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

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.

 

I saw mummy 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 (tickle, tickle Santa Claus) 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!

He saw mommy kissing (kissing, kissing) Santa Claus
I did, I really did see mommy kissing Santa Claus
And I’m gonna tell my dad.

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!

Oh, what a laugh it would have been
if daddy had only seen
mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!

I did! I did! I really did see mommy kissing Santa Claus!
You gotta believe me!  You just gotta believe me!
Come on, fellas, believe me! You just gotta believe me!

The first Noel

The first Noel, the angels did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay.
In fields where they lay 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
shinning 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 ligth of that same star

three Wise Men came from 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 its 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 King of Israel.

Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made heaven and earth of naught

And with his blood mankind hath bougth.

 

Jingle bells

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.

Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go
laughing all the way.

Bells on bob tails ring,
making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
a sleighing song tonight!

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out, you better not cry.
Better not pout I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He’s making a list and checking it twice.
Gonna find out who’s 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.

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry.
You better not pout, I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry.
You better not pout, I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

 

 

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 bells 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 mingle in a jingle beat

That’s the jingle bell rock.

 

 What a bright time, it’s the right time

To rock the night away.

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh.

 

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and mingle in a jingle beat

That’s the jingle bell

That’s the jingle bell

That’s the jingle bell rock.

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 Saviour 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.
