Welcome to the 40th Annual
1) It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Everywhere you go.
Take a look at the five and ten,
it's glistening once again,
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Toys in every 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 shoots is the wish of Barney and Ben,
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
is 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
Everywhere you go.
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
one in the park as well,
It's 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'll make 'em ring,
is the carol that you sing,
Right within your heart..
2. 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
3. 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,
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!
With little tin horns,
And little toy drums.
Rooty-toot-toots,
And rummy tum tums.
Santa Claus is coming town!
And curly-haired dolls,
That toddle and coo,
Elephants, boats,
And kiddie cars too.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
The kids in girl and boy land,
Will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the Christmas tree.
Sooo. . . .
You better watch out,
You better not cry.
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why...
Santa Claus is coming...
Santa Claus is coming...
Santa Claus is coming to town!
4. 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 ring,
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 the bustle 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.
5. Away in a Manger
Away in a manger,
no crib for his 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 on 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 sky,
And stay by my cradle
'til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask thee to stay
close by me forever
And love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In thy tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with thee there.
6. 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,
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.
7. Deck the Halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la la la,
la laaa laaa laaaaaaaaa
8. Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin',
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
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..
Walking in a winter wonderland....
9. Oh Holy Night
O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining,
'Til 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!
O, hear the angels' voices!
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night divine.
Truly He taught us
to love one another;
His law is love and
His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break
for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all
oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy
in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us
praise His holy name.
Fall on your knees,
O hear the angel voices,
O night divine!
O night when Christ was born.
O night, divine!
O night, O night divine!
10. 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 all their songs employ,
While fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
11. Hark the Herald Angel 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 Angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark, the herald Angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King!
12. Oh Come All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye,
to Bethlehem...
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of angels;
(Chorus)
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
God of God,
Light of Light,
Lo, He abhors
not the Virgin's womb;
True God,
Begotten not created;
(Chorus)
O Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God
Glory in the highest;
(Chorus)
13. 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,
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 how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history!"
14. Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow,
in a one-horse open sleigh
Over 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
(Chorus)
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O 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;
He got into a drifted bank
and there we got upsot!
(Chorus)
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh
15. 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!
Thumpety thump thump!
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpetty 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
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!
Thumpety thump thump!
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpetty thump thump!
Thumpety thump thump!
Over the hills of snow!
16. I Saw Mommy 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.
17. Let it Snow
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally kiss good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you 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!
18. 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 everyone 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!
19. God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
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 brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
The holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!
20. The Wassail Song
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a wand'ring,
So fair to be seen.
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
God bless the master of this house
likewise the mistress too,
and all the little children
the round the table go.
(Chorus)
21. Oh Christmas Tree
("O Tannenbaum")
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
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!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du glänzt nicht nur zur Sommerzeit
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Winterzeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
22. 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....
23. Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
Which glad tiding did you hear?
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Come to Bethlehem, and see
From him whose birth the angels sing,
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord the new-born King
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
See him in the manger laid,
whom the angels praise above.
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
while we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
24. 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 ev'ry 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,
Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas to you...
25. Twelve Days of Christmas
One the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
A Partridge in a Pear Tree
2 Turtle Doves
3 French Hens
4 Calling Birds
5 Golden Rings (Under 40's only)
6 Geese a Laying
7 Swans a Swimming
8 Maids a Milking
9 Ladies Dancing
10 Lords a Leaping
11 Pipers Piping
12 Drummers Drumming
26. 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!
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.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
We Wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin,
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas....
and a Happy New Year!
Thank you Dugans!
Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a Good Night!
