Songs for Holiday Celebration

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' 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

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!

See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la!
Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la!
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la!
Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

Let it Snow

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful,
and since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It doesn't show signs of stoppin' and I brought some corn for poppin'.
The lights are turned way down low. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

When we finally kiss good-night how I'll hate going out in the storm,
but if you really hold me tight all the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying, and, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you'd love me so, Let it snow, let it snow, and snow!

When we finally kiss good-night how I'll hate going out in the storm,
but if you really hold me tight all the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying, and, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you'd love me so, Let it snow, let it snow, and snow!
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it Snow!

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun!

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away!
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in a jinglin' beat!
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock!

Oh Hanukkah

Oh Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah
Come light the Menorah
Let’s have a party
We'll all dance the Hora

Gather 'round the table
We'll give you a treat,
Dreidels to play with
and latkes to eat

And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
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!

(Repeat)

Dreidel

I had a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
On dreidel I shall play

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
On dreidel I shall play

It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
And when it gets all tired
It falls and I will win

Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
On dreidel I shall play

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tails ring,
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, Oh!

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!

A day or two ago,
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Brite
Was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank.
Misfortune seemed his lot.
We got into a drifted bank
And WEE, we got upsot, OH!

Oh, 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!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"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
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"

Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town

You better watch out, You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list, He's checking it twice,gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake

You better watch out, You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums. Rooty-toot-toot and rummy-tum-tum.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

With curly haired dolls that toddle and coo. Elephants, boats and kiddie cars, too.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

The kids in girl and boy land will have a jubilee
They’re gonna build a toyland town all around the Christmas Tree

So, You better watch out, You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!

Feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad Próspero año y felicidad

I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart

I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart!

(repeat)
