Winter Wonderland


Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin',
In the lane, snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird,
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrillin',
Though your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Up On The House Top


Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys,
All for the little ones' Christmas joys.

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop, click, click, click!
Down thru the chimney with Good Saint Nick.

First comes the stocking of little Nell,
Oh, dear Santa fill it well.
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries,
One that will open and shut her eyes.

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop, click, click, click!
Down thru the chimney with Good Saint Nick.

Now comes the stocking of little Will,
Oh, just see what a glorious fill.
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks,
A basketball¹ and a whip that cracks.

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop, click, click, click!
Down thru the chimney with Good Saint Nick,
Down thru the chimney with Good Saint Nick,
Down thru the chimney with Good Saint Nick!
 
Boogie Woogie Santa Claus:


Well look here Jack
There's something down the track
He's got rhythm in his feet
But nothing in the sack
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes to town every Christmas day
Well he lives up in a mountain
Like a hermit in the cave
He never had a haircut
He never took a shave
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes this time every Christmas day
Well it's rock rock rock Mr. Santa
Jump jump jump Mr. Santa
Well the boogie woogie Santa Will boogie all your blues away
Got no presents for your tree
No Candy for your socks
When he starts to boogie
The whole town rocks
Mama get your hat
Put your best dress on
We're gonna jump for joy
On the Christmas morn
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Boogie all your blues away
Well it's rock rock rock Mr. Santa
Jump jump jump Mr. Santa Claus
Well the boogie woogie Santa Will boogie all your blues away
 
Silver Bells


City sidewalks, busy sidewalks,
Dressed in holiday style,
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you'll hear...

Silver bells,
Silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling,
Hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.

Strings of street lights, even stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all the bustle you'll hear...

Silver bells,
Silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling,
Hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
 
12 Days of Christmas is probably my least favorite Christmas Carol (or at least high on the list), but The Mormon Tabernacle Choir does a very fine version of it, complete with costumes and dancers.

Five golden rings.
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
 
My first clutch of elves just left to deliver the first 15 hot holiday meals to the elderly and disabled. The second clutch will be here in an hour and a half to pick up the remaining 10 meals, which should be delivered no later than 6:30 pm PST. They're having ham, mashed potatoes, broccoli with cheese sauce, and pumpkin bread. I was expecting pumpkin pies, but one of my elves was preoccupied with studying dentistry and made pumpkin bread instead. No matter; it's really good pumpkin bread and the old people will love it.
 
Very beautiful and professional Angels We Have Heard On High:

Crashes YT whenever I try to play it. Other videos no problem. I'll try in another browser later tonight. Cooking with tunes in bg first. Hope everyone eats good tonight!

Also yeah the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is absolutely kickass for Christmas carols. Their 'carol of the bells' I linked previously is one of the best I've heard.
