T’was The Night Before Christmas (Running Time: 6:39)

´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

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

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
I tore open the shutters and threw up the sash

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

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 he shouted, and he called them by name

“Now, DASHER! Now, DANCER! Now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! On CUPID! On DONDER and BLITZEN!
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

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

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

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 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

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

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 on 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!”

White Christmas (Running Time: 3:04)

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where those tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleighbells 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

[Music Plays]

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

Joy To The World (Running Time: 2:11)

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

He rules the world With truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glory of his righteousness
And wonders of his love [His Love]
And wonders of his love [His Love]
And wonders of his love

Joy, joy, joy to the world [Joy To The World]
Joy, joy, joy to the world [Joy To The World]
Joy to the world
Joy to the world…

Deck The Halls (Run Time: 1:42)

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 Yule tide 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 Yule tide 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 year, 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
Fa-la-la-la-la, La-la-la, La-la, Laaaa…
Fa-la-la-la-la, La-la-la-la!

Silent Night (Running Time: 3:18)

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…

Remember this Christmas
Christmas is a celebration
Christmas is a birthday
Christmas is his birthday
This is the day that Jesus Christ was born
And this is the day we can all celebrate
Because we can always, all of us
Sleep in heavenly peace
Because he will always be there for us

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace [Heavenly Peace]
Sleep in heavenly peace…

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Run Time: 2:27)

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy [Comfort and joy]
O tidings of comfort and joy [Comfort and joy]

From God our Heavenly Father
Our blessed Angel came
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings just the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
tidings of comfort and joy [Comfort and joy]
tiding of comfort and joy

[Music Plays]

Hark The Herald Angels (Running Time: 2:14)

Hark, the Herald Angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconcile
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
with the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king

Hail the heaven born prince of peace
Hail the son of rightousness
Light and life to all he brings
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that no man more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born king

The Christmas Song (Running Time: 3:02)

Chestnuts roasting on a open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some misletoe
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

[Music Plays]

O’ Holy Night (Running Time: 2:12)

O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til he appeared and the spirit felt it’s worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn…

Fall…on your knees
O hear…the angel voices
O night…divine…
O night, when Christ was born
O night….divine!
O night, when Christ was born

[Truly he taught us to love one another
His law is love and his gospel is peace…]
When Christ was born

Jingle Bells (Running Time: 2:10)

David:
“Ok, everybody…you all know this one…it’s called 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

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

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 babe two forty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh and crack he’ll take the lead

Ho, 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

Taylor & Hayley:
“Laughing all the way! Ha Ha Ha!

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…Whoa!

Please Come Home For Christmas (Duet With Gwen) (Running Time: 4:03)

David:
If I had one wish
I’d spend it all on you
If I had one day
I’d spend it all with you

Cause only in dreams
Can I look into your eyes
With only the wind
To hear me when I cry

If I had one wish
Darling come home I miss you
Just for one kiss
That’s all I want
If I had one wish
I’d spend it all on you
Sweetheart, please come home for Christmas

Gwen:
Irgendein ein Stern
Schickt mir ein Licht aus der Ferne
Macht mich ganz hilflos
Muss das Alleinsein erst lernen
Manchmal da möcht ich
Bloß in deiner Nähe sein
Und nachts schläfst du nie mehr
Tief in meinen Träumen ein

Weil ich dich vermiß
Komm wieder heim, Du fehlst mir

David & Gwen:
Just for one kiss
That’s all I want
If I had one wish
I’d spend it all on you

David:
Sweetheart, please come home

Gwen:
Komm doch wieder heim

Together:
For Christmas

Stille Nacht (Running Time: 3:18)

Stille Nacht
Heilige Nacht
Alles schläft
Einsam wacht
nur das traute heilige Paar
Holder Knabe’ im lockigen Haar
schlaf in himmlischer Ruh

Stille Nacht
Heilige Nacht
Hirten erst kund gemacht
Durch der Engel Halleluja
Tönt es laut von ferne und nah
Jesus der Retter ist da
Jesus der Retter ist da

Jesus der Retter ist da
Jesus der Retter ist da
Jesus der Retter ist da
