Its The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year

Happy Holiday / Holiday Season
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming back
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
He's a great big bundle of joy
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down
He'll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and me
So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree
It's the holiday season
With the whoop-de-do and hickory dock
And don't forget to hang up your sock
'Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep bringing
Happy holidays to you

Christmas Time Is Here
(feat. Vince Gill)
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all
That children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times
And ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all
That children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times
And ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops 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 Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops 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 Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

Somewhere In My Memory
Candles in the window
Shadows painting the ceiling
Gazing at the fire glow
Feeling that gingerbread feeling
Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memory
Christmas joys all around me
Living in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic
All of the family, home here with me
Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic
All of the family, home here with me
Shadows painting the ceiling
Gazing at the fire glow
Feeling that gingerbread feeling
Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memory
Christmas joys all around me
Living in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic
All of the family, home here with me
Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see
Somewhere in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic
All of the family, home here with me

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
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
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
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the savior is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at thy birth

What Child Is This
What child is this
Who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While Shepard's watch our keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom Shepard's guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant King to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom Shepard's guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary
What child is this, oh, oh, oh
What child is this, oh
This, this is Christ the King
Whom Shepard's guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary
Son of Mary
Son of Mary
Who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While Shepard's watch our keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom Shepard's guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant King to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him
This, this is Christ the King
Whom Shepard's guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary
What child is this, oh, oh, oh
What child is this, oh
This, this is Christ the King
Whom Shepard's guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary
Son of Mary

Christmas Day
Snow covered rooftops
Lights on the trees
The sound of singing
I hear down every street
Families have gathered
From miles away
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
You see that old tree
Down Cotton Lane
Those lights keep shining
Its always the same
We hear the church bells
Ring out to say
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
Swing the lights and hang the stockings
Decorate with green and red
Made the cookies for old Santa
Made a runway for his sled
Singing carols on a sleigh ride
Gather round the manger scene
Open presents, read the letter
And together we will sing
Oh, Merry Christmas
Joy to the world
For every nation
For every boy and girl
Lets light a candle
For peace we pray
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day
Its Christmas day
Its Christmas day
Lets light a candle
For peace we pray
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
Lights on the trees
The sound of singing
I hear down every street
Families have gathered
From miles away
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
You see that old tree
Down Cotton Lane
Those lights keep shining
Its always the same
We hear the church bells
Ring out to say
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas
Its Christmas day
Swing the lights and hang the stockings
Decorate with green and red
Made the cookies for old Santa
Made a runway for his sled
Singing carols on a sleigh ride
Gather round the manger scene
Open presents, read the letter
And together we will sing
Oh, Merry Christmas
Joy to the world
For every nation
For every boy and girl
Lets light a candle
For peace we pray
Oh, Merry Christmas

The Darkest Midnight
The darkest midnight in December
No snow, nor hail, no winter storm
Shall hinder for us to remember
The Babe on this night was born
With shepherds, we are come to see
This lovely Infant's glorious charms
Born of a maid as the prophets said
The God of love in Mary's arms
Ye blessed angels join our voices
Let your gilded wings beat fluttering o'er
While every soul set free rejoices
And everyone must adore
We'll sing and pray that God as always
May our friends and family defend
God grant us grace in all our days
Merry Christmas and a happy end
We'll sing and pray that God always
May our friends and family defend
God grant us grace in all our days
A Merry Christmas and a happy end
No snow, nor hail, no winter storm
Shall hinder for us to remember
The Babe on this night was born
With shepherds, we are come to see
This lovely Infant's glorious charms
Born of a maid as the prophets said
The God of love in Mary's arms
Ye blessed angels join our voices
Let your gilded wings beat fluttering o'er
While every soul set free rejoices
And everyone must adore
We'll sing and pray that God as always
May our friends and family defend
God grant us grace in all our days
Merry Christmas and a happy end
We'll sing and pray that God always
May our friends and family defend
God grant us grace in all our days
A Merry Christmas and a happy end

Peace
I have come from so far away
Down the road of my own mistakes
In the hope, you could hear me pray
Oh Lord, keep me in your reach
How I longed through these wasted years
To outrun all the pain and fear
Turned to stone from my uncried tears
And now it's Your grace I seek
Love won't compromise
It's a gift, it's a sacrifice
My soul renewed and my heart released
In You, I'll find my peace
Wondrous child of whom the angels sing
Know my joy, feel my suffering
Shining star make this love you bring
So bright that I may believe
That my way will not be lost
From now on 'til that river's crossed
My soul renewed and my spirit free
In You I'll find my peace
In You I'll find my peace
Down the road of my own mistakes
In the hope, you could hear me pray
Oh Lord, keep me in your reach
How I longed through these wasted years
To outrun all the pain and fear
Turned to stone from my uncried tears
And now it's Your grace I seek
Love won't compromise
It's a gift, it's a sacrifice
My soul renewed and my heart released
In You, I'll find my peace
Wondrous child of whom the angels sing
Know my joy, feel my suffering
Shining star make this love you bring
So bright that I may believe
That my way will not be lost
From now on 'til that river's crossed
My soul renewed and my spirit free
In You I'll find my peace
In You I'll find my peace
