Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow, In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring, Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride 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, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh
O Christmas Tree O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches Not only green in summer’s glow but ever green ‘mid winter snow, O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches
