    Happy Holiday

    Happy Holida
    y
While the merry bells keep ringing

    Happy Holiday to you

    

It's the holiday season

    And Santa Claus is coming back
    
The Christmas snow is white on the ground

    When old Santa gets into town

    He'll be coming down the chimney, down

    He'll be coming down the chimney, down

    
It's the holiday season

    And Santa Claus has got a toy

    For every good girl and every boy
    
And he’s a great big bundle of joy

    When he's coming down the chimney, down

    Coming down the chimney, down

    
He'll have a big fat pack upon his back

    And lots of goodies for you and me

    So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick
    
Hanging on the Christmas tree

    

It's the holiday season

    So hoop-de-do and hickory dock
    
And don't forget to hang up your sock
'
    Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock

    He'll be coming down the chimney, down
    Coming down the chimney, down

    

He'll have a big fat pack upon his back

    And lots of goodies for you and for me

    So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick

    Hanging on the Christmas tree



    It's the holiday season

    So whoop-de-do and hickory dock

    And don't forget to hang up your sock

  2. O Holy Night

    O holy night! The stars are brightly shining
    
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth

    Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'
    Til He appeared, 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 angel voices!

    O night divine, O night when Christ was born
    
O night divine, O night, O night divine!

    (Musical Bridge)

    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
    
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!

    His power and glory evermore proclaim

    His power and glory evermore proclaim
    O night divine, O holy night
  3. Christmas in Manhattan

    Another Christmas in Manhattan
    Where the snow’s already deep
    There are yuletide greetings all around
    And the city that’s my kind of town
    It never sleeps

    Another Christmas in Manhattan
    Where there’s joy on each marquee
    There is love up in the air
    Oh, won’t you meet me there
    This coming Christmas Eve

     We can skate in Rockefeller Center
    With the smell of chestnuts wafting through
    We’ll marvel at the decorated windows
    As we stroll along Fifth Avenue.

     Another Christmas in Manhattan
    Empire State is Red and Green
    And the market place at Bryant Park
    That’s open ‘til way after dark 
    A shoppers dream

    Another Christmas in Manhattan
    There’s no other place I know
    That is grander or arrayed 
    For a wintery holiday
    Oh, how I want to go.

    Central Park’s the perfect spot to wander
    Every street lamp is a candy cane
    Maybe there’s a carriage driver waiting
    Baby, we can snuggle all the way

    Another Christmas in Manhattan
    Old St. Patrick’s bells will ring
    Oh, the mem’ries we will share
    Won’t you meet me there
    This coming Christmas Eve
  4. I Like a Sleighride (Jingle Bells)

    I like a sleighride
    I like a sleighride
    I like a sleighride
    I like a sleighride

    Jingle bells, jingle bells
    
Jingle all the way
    (I like a sleighride)

    Oh, what fun it is to ride
    
In a one horse open sleigh

    Jingle bells, jingle bells

    Jingle all the way
    (I like a sleighride)

    Oh, what fun it is to ride
    
In a one horse open sleigh
    (I like a sleighride)

    
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
    (I like a sleighride)

    Oh, what fun it is to ride

    In a one horse open sleigh

    Jingle bells, jingle bells

    Jingle all the way
    (I like a sleigh ride)
    
Oh, what fun it is to ride
    
In a one horse open sleigh
    (I like a sleighride)

    A day or two ago

    I thought I'd take a ride

    And soon Miss Fanny Brice

    Was seated by my side
    (I like a sleighride)

    The horse was lean and lank
    
Misfortune seemed his lot
    
We got into a drifted bank
    
And we, we got upsot

    Jingle bells, jingle bells

    Jingle all the way
    (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
    (Jingle all the way)

    Oh, what fun it is to ride
    
In a one horse open sleigh

    Oh, what fun it is to ride

    In a one horse open sleigh

    I like a sleighride
    I like a sleighride
    I like a sleighride
    I like a sleighride
    I like a sleighride
  5. Love You Remember

    (Intro)
    Do do do do do
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop, yeah
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop, yeah yeah!

    We’ve been out shopping for an evergreen
    That won’t even fit through the door
    We’ve hung our stockings for the family
    But there’s always room for one more

    So drop on by for some coffee and pie,
    You don’t need a reason
    We’ll listen to Dean and Elvis and Bing
    Sing the songs of the season

    Let there be sleigh bells and let there be church bells to fill the air
    Surprises we’re givin’ and places we’ve hidden them everywhere
    Bring on the carols and candles and lights to fill every day of December
    ‘Cause at Christmas, it’s the laughter and love you remember

    The kiddos are dreaming about Santa Claus
    And that list that he’s checked over twice
    Trying their best to behave because
    Santa knows if you’re naughty or nice

    And me, I just wish for more of this
    This time we’re together
    So I’m not letting go of what matters most
    ‘Cause it doesn’t get better

    Let there be sleigh bells and let there be church bells to fill the air
    Surprises we’re givin’ and places we’ve hidden them everywhere
    Bring on the carols and candles and lights to fill every day of December
    ‘Cause at Christmas, it’s the laughter and love you remember

    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    Let there be peace on earth, songs of a baby’s birth long ago
    When angels sang “gloria” and told the story of joy and hope
    Bring on the carols and candles and lights to fill every day of December
    ‘Cause at Christmas, it’s the laughter and love you remember

    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop

    Bring on the carols and candles and lights to fill every day of December
    ‘Cause at Christmas, it’s the laughter and love you remember

    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop, yeah
    The love you remember
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop
    Shoo Bee Dee Whop, yeah!

    Ooooo
  6. I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

    (Intro)
    Ring the bells, Christmas
    Joy to the world the Lord is come
    Let earth receive her king

    I heard the bells on Christmas day
    Their old familiar carols play,
    And wild and sweet the words repeat
    Of peace on earth, good will to men.
    Good will to men

    I thought how, as the day had come,
    The belfries of all Christendom
    Had rolled along the unbroken song
    Of peace on earth, good will to men.
    Peace on earth, good will to men.

    And in despair I bowed my head:
    “There is no peace on earth,” I said,
    “For hate is strong and mocks the song
    Of peace on earth, good will to men.”
    Good will to men

    Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
    “God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
    The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
    With peace on earth, good will
    (Good will, good will) to men.”
    Good will, good will To men!
  7. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
    Everywhere you go
    Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
    With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

    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 hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots
    
Is the wish of Barney and Ben

    Dolls that will 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

    Toys in every store
    
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
    
On your own front door

    (Musical Bridge)

    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
    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 sing
    Right within your heart
    Within your heart
    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
  8. We Three Kings

    We three kings of Orient are
    
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar
    
Field and fountain

    Moor and mountain

    Following yonder star

    

Star of wonder, star of night
    
Star with royal beauty bright

    Westward leading, still proceeding
    
Guide us to thy perfect light



    Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
    
Gold I bring to crown Him again

    King forever, ceasing never

    Over us all to reign

    

Frankincense to offer have I
    
Incense owns a Deity nigh
    
Prayer and praising, all men raising
    
Worship Him, God most high


    Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume
    Breathes a life of gathering gloom

    Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying

    Sealed in the stone cold tomb

    

(Musical Bridge)

    Glorious now behold Him arise

    King and God and Sacrifice!

    Alleluia, alleluia
    
Peals through the earth and sky


    Star of wonder, star of night

    Star with royal beauty bright

    Westward leading, still proceeding
    
Guide us to thy perfect lightWe three kings
  9. Snowfall

    Snowfall

    Softly
    
Gently
    Drift down



    Snowflakes

    Whisper
'
    Neath my window

    
Covering trees
    
Misty lights
    
Velvet breeze

    'Round my doorstep



    Gently

    Softly
    
Silent

    Snowfall

    Oooo

    (Musical Bridge)

    

Covering trees

    Misty lights

    Velvet breezes

    'Neath my window



    Gently

    Softly
    
Silent

    Snowfall

    Snowfall, ooh, ooh,

    Gently drift down
    Drift down, drift down
    Snowfall
  10. Winter Wonderland

    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 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

    (Musical Bridge)

    

In the meadow we can build a snowman
    And pretend that he’s a circus clown
    We’ll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
    Until the other kiddies 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

    Walking in a winter wonderland
    Oooo
  11. Sometimes I Wonder

    Staring out the window
    
As a frosty wind blows fast across the field

    It made me think about you
    
How you came alive in winter
    
How you loved to watch the snow fall,
    Do you still?
    
I guess that’s a silly question

    ‘Cause it doesn’t snow in Heaven

    Well, at least as far as anyone can tell

    Oh, sometimes I wonder

    Standing at your bedside

    You were so concerned with leaving us behind.
    
We held on to you tightly
    
And you told us you were worried

    That we'd be okay.
    
Has Heaven eased your mind?

    Do you know how much we miss you?
    
Do you wish we were there with you?

    Do you get to think about us anymore?
    
Oh, sometimes I wonder.
    
Sometimes I wonder.

    Do you ever see the sights and think
    
This must be some fantastic dream
    
Can you wrap your mind around the things you see?
    
Or is it more than you can comprehend
    
To think today will never end

    And all is peace and joy eternally

    When you entered Heaven
    
Did you walk or did you break into a run?

    Even though you'd never been there
    
Did it feel like home already?

    Were you welcomed by the Father and the Son?
    
Did you bow in humble reverence
    
Just to stand there in their presence?

    Did they take you in their arms in sweet embrace?
    
Oh, sometimes I wonder.
    Oh, sometimes I wonder.
    Sometimes I wonder.

  12. Christmas Time Is Here

    Christmas time is here

    Happiness and cheer

    Fun for all that children call

    Their favorite time of the year

    Snowflakes in the air
    
Carols everywhere

    Olden times and ancient rhymes
    
Of love and dreams to share

    Sleigh bells in the air

    Beauty everywhere
    
Yuletide by the fireside

    And joyful memories there

    Christmas time is here
    
We'll be drawing near
    
Oh, that we could always see

    Such spirit through the year

    Oh, that we could always see

    Such spirit through the year

    (Musical Bridge)

    Sleigh bells in the air

    Beauty everywhere
    
Yuletide by the fireside

    And joyful memories there

    Christmas time is here
    
We'll be drawing near

    Oh, that we could always see

    Such spirit through the year

    Oh, that we could always see

    Such spirit through the year

Put on your coat when breezes are blowin'

    And when you cross the street look where you're goin'

    
Santa, we've been so good

    We've washed the dishes and done what we should

    Made up the bed and scrubbed up our toeses
    
We've used a Kleenex when we've blown our noses

    
Santa, look at our ears

    They're clean as whistles, we're sharper then shears
    
Now we've put you on the spot

    Mister Santa, bring us a lot

    Santa, here comes Santa
    Santa, here comes Santa
    Mister Santa bring us a lot
