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

The streets are filled with laughter and light And the music of the season And the merchants' windows are all bright With the faces of the children And the families hurrying to their homes As the sky darkens and freezes Will be gathering around the hearths and tables Giving thanks for all God's graces And the birth of the rebel Jesus They call him by the "Prince of Peace" And they call him by "The Saviour" And they pray to him upon the sea And in every bold endeavor As they fill his churches with their pride and gold And their faith in him increases But they've turned the nature that I worshipped in From a temple to a robber's den In the words of the rebel Jesus We guard our world with locks and guns And we guard our fine possessions And once a year when Christmas comes We give to our relations And perhaps we give a little to the poor If the generosity should seize us But if any one of us should interfere In the business of why there are poor They get the same as the rebel Jesus But pardon me if I have seemed To take the tone of judgement For I've no wish to come between This day and your enjoyment In this life of hardship and of earthly toil We have need for anything that frees us So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer From a heathen and a pagan On the side of the rebel Jesus.

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

Hold on now, got to take a deep breath I don't know what to say when I look in your eyes You made the world before I was born And here I am holding you in my arms tonight Noel, Noel Jesus our Emmanuel You're here, I'm holding you so near I'm staring into the face of my Savior King and Creator You could of left us on our own But you're here, you're here I don't know how long I'm going to have you for But I'll be watching when you change the world Look at your hands, they're still so small Someday you're going To stretch them out and save us all Noel, Noel God with us, Emmanuel You're here, I'm holding you so near, oh, oh I'm staring into the face of my Savior King and Creator You could of left us on our own But you're here, you're here Someday I'm going to look back on this The night that God became a baby boy Someday you're going to go home again But you'll leave your spirit And flood the world with joy You'll be here, I'm holding you so near, oh, oh I'm staring into the face of my Savior King and Creator You could of left me on my own But you're here, You're here Hallelujah, You're here Hallelujah, You're here

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 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, O hear the angel voices O night divine, O night when Christ was born O night, O holy night, O night divine O holy night when God above Sent down His son in the name of love To that lowly manger God came to us The stars shone down and pierced the night The Prince of Peace and the King of Light With every breath we cried out Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah I heard there was a prophecy In David’s town and it came to be Like the word foretold A new Messiah This baby boy, anointed one God in the flesh, to us has come The angels filled the night with Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices O night divine, O night when Christ was born O night divine, O night, O night divine Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

about

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I especially love the music. I chose some songs that I feel show what Christmas is really about, and did my own, homemade versions of them. I hope you all enjoy and merry Christmas!
