Jingle Bells James Lord Pierpont publ. 1857 Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over 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 Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O 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;

He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

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 as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Now the ground is white Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song; Just get a bob-tailed bay Two-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! You’ll take the lead.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Holly Jolly Christmas Johnny Marks (c) 1962

Have a holly, jolly Christmas; It’s the best time of the year I don’t know if there’ll be snow, but have a cup of cheer.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas; And when you walk down the street Say Hello to friends you know and everyone you meet.

Oh, ho, the mistletoe hung where you can see; Somebody waits for you; Kiss her once for me.

Have a holly jolly Christmas, and in case you didn’t hear, Oh by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year.

Jingle Bell Rock Bobby Helms Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun Now the jingle hop has begun Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square In the frosty air.

The Night Before Christmas or, “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” Henry Livingston, 1808 ‘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 soon would be there;

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap,

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.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

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 of his chin was as white as the snow;

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

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 bowlful of jelly.

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;

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;

“Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen!

On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blixem!

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.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then 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!”

Winter Wonderland Dick Smith, Felix Bernard 1934 Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, in the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland.

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.

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, and pretend that he’s a circus clown We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman, until the other kids knock him down.

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.

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, walking in a winter wonderland.

Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail! the Son of Righteousness!

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.

Silver Bells City sidewalk, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style.

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city.

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

City street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene, And above all this bustle you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city.

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

The Christmas Song Mel Torme (c) 1946

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a 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 it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you.
