White Christmas
White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops 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 Christmas's be white
Repeat Entire Song again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Every where 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
Round your own front door
A pair of hop-along-boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonny and Ben
Dolls that will talk and go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jenn
And mum and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Every where 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
Santa Claus You are much too fat
Santa Claus You are much too fat
I heard a reindeer hoof
And Santa dressed in red
Came crashing through my roof
And landed on my bed
I thought it was a dream
But quickly did I wake
As soon as I heard Santa scream
I want a piece of cake
Chorus
O, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, you are much too fat
I was sleeping peacefully, but now my bed is flat
O, Santa Claus, Santa Claus, how much do you weigh
I'd hate to be a reindeer, that had to pull your sleigh
He got up off the floor
And said how do you do
I said my back is sore
My head is black and blue
So sorry he replied
And then he asked my name
He offered me a ride
I said “no thank you just the same”
Chorus
I heard a noise above
The sleigh was in the sky
It was moving very slow
And wasn't very high
It wobbled in the air
I hoped it wouldn't fall
Said Santa chewing cookies
Merry Christmas one and all
Chorus

Aussie Jingle Bells
Dashing through the bush,
in a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust,
Esky in the boot.
Kelpie by my side,
singing Christmas songs,
it's Summer time and I am in
my singlet, shorts and thongs, 'oi'!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, 'oi'!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
Engine's getting hot;
we dodge the kangaroos,
Swaggy climbs aboard,
he is welcome too.
All the family's there,
sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Aussie way,
by the barbecue, 'oi'!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
Come the afternoon,
Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce,
are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes 'round to go,
we take a family snap.
Then pack the car and all shoot through,
before the washing up, 'oi'!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute ....'oi'!!

Carol of the Bells
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells all seem to say “Throw cares away”
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer to young and old, meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong, that is there song; with joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air
Oh how they pound, raising their sound o’er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing songs of good cheer: Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas! Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
On, on they send, on without end their joyful tone to ev’ry home
Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells all seem to say “Throw cares away”
Ding dong ding dong, that is there song; with joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air
Oh how they pound, raising their sound o’er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing songs of good cheer: Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas! Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas! Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Santa’s Coming
Ding dong merrily on high, just hear those loud bells ringing
Raise your hands up to the sky, let Santa hear your singing
Here comes Santa on his way, riding on his shiny sleigh
Through the snow, through the snow
And as Santa flies along you can hear his jolly song
Merry Christmas ho ho ho
Ding dong merrily on high, just hear those loud bells ringing
Raise your hands up to the sky, let Santa hear your singing
He makes Christmas so much fun, leaving gifts for everyone
By the tree, by the tree
And as Santa flies along you can hear his jolly song
Merry Christmas ho ho ho
Ding dong merrily on high, just hear those loud bells ringing
Raise your hands up to the sky, let Santa hear your singing
He remembers all our names when he chooses toys and games
He’s a star, he’s a star
And as Santa flies along you can hear his jolly song
Merry Christmas ho ho ho
Merry Christmas ho ho ho
Ding dong merrily on high, just hear those loud bells ringing
Raise your hands up to the sky, let Santa hear your singing
Ding dong merrily on high, just hear those loud bells ringing
Raise your hands up to the sky, let Santa hear your singing

Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh (HEY)
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
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh (HEY)
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
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
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows. (like a lightbulb)
All of the other reindeers
Used to laugh and call him names; (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games (like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say, (Ho, ho, ho, ho)
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, (Yippee!!)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history.
Rudolph, Rudolph, Rudolph (fade out)

Believe
From the movie: The Polar Express
Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic's slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day
Chorus:
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day
Chorus
Ending:
If you just believe X3
Just Believe X3
Joy To The World
Riff:
Joy to the world everybody; Joy to the world (X4)
Verse:1
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.
Verse:2
Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy; repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Riff
Verse:3
He rules the world, with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love; and wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

Christmas Countdown
Verse: 1
Hanging the stockings and mistletoe; Eight more days, eight more days
Baking and cleaning the barbeque; Seven more days to go
Planning and shopping and writing cards; Six more days, six more days
Relatives coming from near and far; And five more days to go
Chorus:
It’s the Christmas countdown, and we can hardly wait
Day by day anticipation, of our fav’rite celebration,
It’s the Christmas countdown, as each day disappears
Three, two, one before you know it
Christmas is here.
Verse: 2
Wrapping and taping and tying bows; Four more days, four more days.
Singlets and sandals – the way to go; And three more days to go.
Laughing and carolling with our friends; Two more days, two more days
Sharing the story of Bethlehem; And one more day to go.
Chorus:
Coda:
And when at last the day has come once more;
It’s time to start the countdown over at three hundred and sixty four!
Chorus:
It’s the Christmas countdown, and we can hardly wait
Day by day anticipation, of our fav’rite celebration,
It’s the Christmas countdown, as each day disappears
Three, two, one before you know it
Christmas; Christmas; Christmas
Is here….. It’s Christmas!!!

December
Do you remember the
25th night of December?
Santa’s changing the minds of pretenders
As Reindeer fly away
Our hearts were ringing
And the Tree shining brightly we’re singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - Christmas in December
Ba de ya – happiness in every day
Together with you
All your family and friends are there too!
Only Christmas and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only Christmas and love,
Remember the true love we share today
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - Christmas in December
Ba de ya – happiness in every day
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - Christmas in December
Ba de ya – happiness in every day

That's the jingle bell rock, jingle rock
Jingle bell rock, rock, rock

All I want for Christmas is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
You, baby
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Cause baby all I want for Christmas is you
You baby
Oh-ho, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Yeah
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby (Yeahhh)
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Mistletoe
It’s the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I'mma be under the mistletoe
I don’t wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can’t stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I’mma be under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe
Everyone's gathering around the fire
Chestnuts roasting like a hot July
I should be chilling with my folks, I know
But I’mma be under the mistletoe
Word on the street Santa's coming tonight,
Reindeer's flying through the sky so high
I should be making a list, I know
But I’mma be under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe
Aye, love, the wise men followed the star
The way I followed my heart
And it led me to a miracle
Aye, love, don't you buy me nothing
'cause I am feeling one thing, your lips on my lips
That’s a merry, merry Christmas
It’s the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I’mma be under the mistletoe
I don’t wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can’t stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But I’mma be under the mistletoe

O Holy Night
Oh, 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
Till He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, oh, hear, hear the Angels' voices
Oh, night divine, yeah, oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night, oh night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh, night divine
Oh, night divine
