Memories Of Christmas

Words- Sam Francis, Cliff Maag
Music- Gaye Gibbs

Colored lights that shine so bright..They glow and twinkle in the night.
Decorations on the tree...and presents there for you and me.

Chorus
Memories of Christmas time... fill our hearts with joy.
These memories bring happiness to every girl and boy.
Memories of Christmas time... the friendships we renew.
May the memories we share this year stay with us our whole life through.

Stockings hanging by a fire... children singing in a choir.
Families gather, having fun... sharing love with everyone.

Jingle Bells

Words and Music- James Pierpont

Chorus
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-tail ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleigh-ing song tonight!

Chorus

A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side.
Just take a bob-tailed nag, two forty for his speed
And hitch him to an open sleigh...and crack, you'll take the lead!

Chorus

(Tag)
One horse open...In a one horse open sleigh!.

Winter Wonderland

Words- Dick Smith
Music- Felix Bernard

Sleigh-bells ring, are you list'nin'? In the lane, snow is glist'nin',
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland!
Gone away is the blue-bird...Here to stay is a new bird,
He sings a love song, as we go along...Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland!

In the meadow we can build a snow-man, and 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 made
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland!

Sleigh-bells ring, are you list'nin?" In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
We sing a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland!
We'll face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland!

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Words and Music- Johnny Marks

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 use 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 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, you'll go down in history!"

I'm Getting Nuttin' For Christmas

Words and Music- Sid Tepper, Ray C. Bennett

Chorus
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas...Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas..."Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad..


I broke my bat on Johnny's head; Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister's bed; Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy;s rug, I made Tommy eat a bug,
Bought some gum with a penny slug; Somebody snitched on me.

Chorus

I put a tack on teacher's chair; Somebody snitched on me.
I tied a knot in Susie's hair; Somebody snitched on me.
I did a dance on Mommy's plants, climbed a tree and tore my pants.
Filled the sugar bowl with ants; Somebody snitched on me.

Chorus

(Tag)
So you better be good, whatever you do,
"Cause if you don't...I'm warning you...
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas!

The Gift Of Love

Words- Sam Francis, Cliff Maag Music- Sam Cardon, Cliff Maag

Christmas time is here again...it's that time of year again
We shop for special gifts for friends, so dear.
We offer a suggestion everyone should try...
Give the present money cannot buy.

Chorus
Of the Christmas gifts you give this year
Don't worry if they're big or small.
Just give of yourself the gift of love...
It's the greatest gift of all.

Presents bought are soon forgot ... lost along the way.
The love we give to others... they'll remember every day.
As gifts of love are given to those both far and near...
The joy we feel will last throughout the year.

Chorus

(Bridge)
For the gift of love is lasting, sweet memories you'll recall,
Just give of yourself and give the greatest gift of all.

Chorus

(Tag)
Just give of yourself the gift of love...
It's the greatest gift of all!

Christmas Is

Words- Spence Maxwell Music- Percy Faith

Christmas is sleigh bells; Christmas is sharing;
Christmas is holly; Christmas is caring.

Christmas is children who just can't go to sleep.
Christmas is memories, the kind you always keep.
Deck the halls and give a cheer for all the things
That Christmas is each year.

Chorus
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
With all your wishes come true.
Christmas, Merry Christmas,
May all your wishes come true.

(Repeat Chorus)

Christmas is sleigh bells; Christmas is sharing;
Christmas is holly; Christmas is caring.
Christmas is sleigh bells; Christmas is sharing;
Christmas is holly; Christmas is caring.

Silent Night

Words- Joseph Mohr Music- Franz Gruber

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 a -far;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ, the Savior, is born. Christ, the Savior, is born!

(Third verse- children hum while narrator gives
closing remarks)

Silent night, Holy Night, Son of God, loves pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at thy birth; Jesus, Lord, at thy birth;
Jesus Lord, at thy birth!
