I'll be home for christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams

2. _ 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.
Cho: 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.
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far,
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star whereever it went.
This star drew nigh to the northwest;
O'er bethlehem it took its rest.
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place whcre jesus lay.
Then they did know assuredly
Within that house, the king did lie
One entered in then for to see
And found the babe in poverty.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently, upon bended knee,
And offered there, in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
If we in our time do well
We shall be free from death and hell
For god hath prepared for us all
A resting place in general.

3. _ Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Writer(s): hugh martin, ralph blane
Have yourself a merry little christmas,
Let your heart 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 were are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little christmas now

5. _ 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 dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus lord, at thy birth.
Jesus lord, at thy birth.

6. _ White Christmas
Writer(s): irving berlin
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.

7. _ Mistletoe And Holly
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Tasty pheasants, christmas presents
Countrysides covered with snow
Oh, by gosh, by jingle
It's time for carols and kris kringle
Overeating, merry greetings
From relatives you don't know
Then comes that big night,
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a yuletide hymn
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "merry christmas" to you

8. _ Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through 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 sleighing song tonight.
Cho: jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, o
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 ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.
A day or two ago
The story i must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back i fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you'll take the lead.

9. _ It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, o'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its babel sounds the blessed angels sing.
O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.
For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their king
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.

10. _ Christmas Waltz, The
Writer(s): cahn/styne
Frosted windowpanes
Candies gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say,
"merry christmas,
May your new year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing, too

11. _ O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Oh little town of bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For christ is born of mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to god the king, and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So god imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear christ enters in.
Oh holy child of bethlehem, descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today
We hear the christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our lord emanuel.

12. _ Hark! The Herald Angels 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 th' angelic host proclaim,
"christ is born in bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"glory to the newborn king!
Christ, by highest heav'n adored:
Christ, the everlasting lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil'd in flesh, the godhead see;
Hail, th'incarnate deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"glory to the newborn king!
Hail! the heav'n-born prince of peace!
Hail! the son of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise the sone of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"glory to the newborn king!

13. _ 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 some 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 every 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
Although its been said
Many times, many ways
Merry christmas! merry christmas! merry christmas to.. you!
