Deck the Halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Oh Hanukkah
Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, come light the menorah
Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora
Gather round the table, we'll all have a treat
Sivivon to play with, and latkes to eat
And while we are playing
The candles are burning bright
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
Happy Hanukkah, my friend
Spin the dreidel, light the lights
Ev’ryone stay home tonight. The story is told, the young and the old together. As twilight greets the setting sun, light the candles one by one. Remember the past traditions that last forever.
Chorus:
Come, let’s share the joy of Hanukkah. May our friendship grow, as the candles glow! Oh, won’t you come and share the joy of Hanukkah; and we’ll celebrate as only friends can do. Happy Hanukkah my friend, from me to you.
Candlelight or star above, messages of peace and love. Their meaning is clear; we all were put here as brothers. So let’s begin with you and me, let friendship shine eternally. May this holiday enlighten the way for others.
Chorus:
Come, let’s share the joy of Hanukkah. May our friendship grow, as the candles glow! Oh, won’t you come and share the joy of Hanukkah; and we’re hoping all you’re wishing for comes true. Happy Hanukkah my friend, from me to you. Happy Hanukkah my friend, from me to you.
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow, in 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
Chorus
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
O Kwanzaa
(Chorus)
O Kwanzaa. O Kwanzaa. O Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa. (Repeat)
Seven Days of celebration. Nguzo saba
(nn-GOO-zoh SAH-bah)
Seven Days of celebration Habari gani
(hah-BAH-ree GAH-nee)
Seven Days of celebration Nguzo saba
(nn-GOO-zoh SAH-bah)
Seven Days of celebration Harambee.
(hah-rahm-BEH)
Chorus
Kwanzaa Harambee
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
Brenda Lee
Rocking around the Christmas tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental
feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
in the new old-fashioned way.
Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer
You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose
(like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it
(saw it)
You would even say it glows
(like a flash light)
All of the other reindeer
(reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names
(like Pinochio)
They never let poor Rudolph
(Rudolph)
Play in any reindeer games
(like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
(Ho Ho Ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him
(loved him)
And they shouted out with glee
(yippee)
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
You'll go down in history!"
(like Columbus)
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.
Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre sus astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús.
Brilla la estrella de paz,
Brilla la estrella de paz.
Let There be Peace on Earth
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
