Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
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
Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
When the snow lay 'round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuel
"Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou know'st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
"Then, bring me bread and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather
Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Failed my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer
Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly
In his master's steps he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who will now bless the poor
Shall yourself find blessing
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each tiny little hoof
As I drew in my head and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke--it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings, and then he turned with a jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'd you like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd you like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How'd you like to stay up late
Like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in
With your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for every day your Christmas dreams come true
How'd you like to stay up late

Wait for Santa to sail in
With your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island

Aloha hoy

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
Alright
Everybody now in the family key, please
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
That 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
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
It's not the glow you feel when snow appears
It's not the Christmas card you've sent for years
Not the joyful sound when sleigh bells ring
Or the merry songs children sing
The little gift you send on Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend you turned away
So, may I suggest the secret of Christmas
It's not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through
The little gift you send on Christmas day
Will not bring back the friend you turned away
So, may I suggest the secret of Christmas
It's not the things you do at Christmas time
But the Christmas things you do all year through
Jing, jing, jing
Jing, jing, jing
In this wonderful white world of winter
Darling, we'll have a wonderful time
Jing a ling, jing, jing
First, we'll ride side by side through the hinter
And roundelay to the sleigh bell's merry chime
Jing a ling, jing, jing
Then we'll ski fancy free down the mountains
And take those chances all silly people do
If there's ever a moment you are freezin'
Just a little squeezin'
Could be mighty pleasin'
In this wonderful white world of winter
I'm fallin' head-over-heels over you
In this wonderful white world of winter
In this wonderful white world of winter
In this wonderful white world of winter
Darling, we'll have a wonderful time
Jing a ling, jing, jing
If we prayed it would snow all this winter
I ask ya, is that a terrible horrible crime?
Jing a ling, jing, jing
I can't wait 'til we skate on Lake Happy
And sip a hot buttered cup in the after-flow
If there's ever a moment you're not laugh-in'
Maybe a toboggan
Don't bump your little noggin'
Bump your little noggin'
In this wonderful white world of winter
I'm thinking' you are the sweetest one I know
In this wonderful white world of winter
Here we go
In this wonderful white world of winter
In the snow
In this wonderful white world of winter
In the snow
In this wonderful white world of winter
Ah, it's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play
It's a whip-cream day
I wait for it the whole year 'round
And those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red
Like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
And the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes
Whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out, harry and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date
What if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world
Ah, it's a marshmallow day in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play
It's a whip-cream day
And we wait for it the whole year 'round
Just you remember that those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red
Like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
You must remember that the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes
Whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out, harry and roll it along
And, it's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date
What if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
There is a light shining right on the bay
Making the night seem as bright as the day
Do you believe it may just appear
Christmas eve from year to year
Heavenly glow in the still while you last
Tell if you will what you know of the past
And of tomorrow's promised joy
Born a King, baby boy
Brighten this night, show us where you are
Be our Christmas star

Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
To lay before the king pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
So to honour him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
When we come
Peace on Earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we'll see
See the day of glory
See the day, when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can
Little baby pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I stood beside him there pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my drum for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my best for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
And he smiled at me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Me and my drum
I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He'll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again
Peace on Earth, can it be
Can it be
It's pretty thing, isn't it?
