Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin'
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
It's a beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walkin' 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
Walkin' 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
While 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

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the older kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' in a winter wonderland

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walkin' (Walkin')
In a winter (In a winter)
Wonderland

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your hearts be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then we'll have to muttle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Here we are as in olden days

So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Merry 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

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
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

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better not pout
I'm telling you why
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

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Yeah, he's on his way
He's got lots of toys in his sleigh
Oh santa is coming to town

The ending of December 1943
Somewhere in the forest
The snow was three feet deep
Two allied soldiers walking
Trying not to freeze
Far from home on Christmas Eve

A cabin with the light on
Brought them to its door
A woman said, "In my home
You can't bring in your war
So leave your rifles outside
Up against a tree
There's peace on Earth on Christmas Eve"

And they sat by the fire and they talked all night long
Sang Christmas hymns and showed pictures of home
In the middle of a great war it's so hard to believe
There's peace on Earth on Christmas Eve

Later in the evening, footsteps in the night
Two German soldiers freezing
The woman went outside
"You're welcome here in my home
But your guns will never be
There's peace on Earth on Christmas Eve"

The soldiers all were frightened
When they stood face to face
The woman said, "You're brothers
Part of the human race
Tonight we're all just family
And we'll get down on our knees
And praise His name on Christmas Eve"

And they sat by the fire and the talked all night long
Sang Christmas hymns and showed pictures of home
In the middle of a great war, bitter enemies
Found peace on Earth on Christmas Eve

Early that next morning
They went their separate ways
Shook hands and hugged that woman
There on Christmas Day

Candles in the window
Lights are on the tree
Presents wrapped in ribbons
But something's missing here for me
I'm sentimental and it's regrettable
When I look outside
'Cause I get the blues when it's not white

Oh we need some snow
Southern nights are too warm
Give me a storm where the cold wind blows
Get stuck for awhile in front of a fire
Where we warm our toes
Heaven knows
This holiday doesn't feel right
A blanket of white is my Christmas wish tonight

Oh we need some snow
'Cause it would be nice
To skate on the ice
Snowflakes on our nose
What could be better than spinning together
And falling making angel wings
Under the moonlight
A blanket of white is my Christmas wish tonight

Nothing like bad weather, old man winter plays his part
To bring us close together and warm each other's heart

Falling, snowflakes falling, make this holiday sure feel right
A blanket of white is my Christmas wish tonight
A blanket of white is my Christmas wish tonight

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
Helps 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 every mother's child is gonna to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

So I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You might 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

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine
Oh, the night when Christ was born

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by the light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wisemen from Orient land
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine
Oh, the night when Christ was born
O night divine
O holy 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
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine
Oh, the night when Christ was born
O night divine
O holy night
O night divine

O night divine
O night, O night divine

God, it's safe to say it's been a tough year
The hardest one we've ever seen
The world has never cried so many tears
Or had so many broken dreams

We've got some bad things going on around us
We're killing each other senselessly
It seems we've learned to hate instead of love
I guess what I'm really trying to say

We need you
We need you
We need you
God, we need you

I know soon it's Your Son's birthday
And you must cry when it comes around
He gave His life for us and a better way
The day that cross hit the ground

So when we celebrate this Christmas
I hope you'll forgive us all somehow
And as our children open presents
I'll be praying for them now

They need you
They need you
They need you
God, they need you

We need you to get us through
I need you
God, I need you

Jesus love's me, this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
We are weak but He is strong
