Let It Snow! Let It Snow! 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!
When we finally kiss goodnight, How I’ll hate going out in the storm! But if you’ll really hold me tight, All the way home I’ll be warm.
It doesn’t show signs of stopping, And I’ve bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we’re still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

LIFE
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Hail! the heav’n born Prince of peace! Hail! the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Christ, by highest heav’n adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favored one. Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, th’incarnate Deity: Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.” Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

The First Noel The First Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took it rest, And there it did both stop and stay Right over the place where Jesus lay. Then entered in those wise men three Full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night.
Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord; That hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with his blood mankind hath bought
And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.

Frosty The Snowman
O Holy Night
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose, And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in That old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around. Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be, And the children say He could laugh and play Just the same as you and me. Thumpety, thump thump, Thumpety, thump thump Look at Frosty go. Thumpety, thump thump, Thumpety, thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining. It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth. Long lay the world In sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope The weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! Oh night, divine! O night, When Christ was born. O night divine, O night, O night divine.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We won’t go until we get some; We won’t go until we get some; We won’t go until we get some, so bring some out here: Refrain
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer: Refrain
