Christmas Time
Written by Chaka Blackmon, Steven Brown, Ray Cham, Alex Alessandroni, Ron Fair

Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la

When I was young every Christmas Eve
I could not sleep
Trying to catch that old St. Nick
Leaving presents under my tree
And every year I'd fall asleep laying in my bed
Dreaming of a million sugarplums
Dancing in my head

Oh how much joy it is at Christmas time
The spirit of giving is in our lives
Oh, oh how much joy it brings to see the ones you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas because

There'll be family and Christmas cheer (oh ooh)
Peace and goodwill to all men (ooh)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (let it snow)
Everybody is home for Christmas (oooh)
Everybody is home for Christmastime

Friends come together as we decorate the tree
This is the time of year to live in harmony
Angels watch over as we put the kids to sleep
And when they awake their smiling faces
Make it all complete, oh

This is the holiday you're with the family
We put aside our differences and let it be
Oh, oh how much fun it is to give and to receive
This time of year, love is all we need, ohh

There'll be family (family) and Christmas cheer (oh)
Peace and goodwill to all men
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (oh yeah)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime

It's Christmas time
Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la

Open your heart now
This is the time for us to give
The world needs love now
So live and let live, families all here
The spirit is good cheer, the sound of carolers
Ringing sweet in my ear, everything is all fine
You know why, it's Christmastime, what

Oh how much joy it is at Christmas time
The spirit of giving is in our lives
Oh, oh how much joy it brings to see the ones you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas because

There'll be family (family) and Christmas cheer (oh)
Peace and goodwill to all men
Everybody is home for Christmas (ohh)
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe (mistletoe)
I want a white Christmas so let it snow
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime
It's Christmastime
It's Christmastime
It's Christmastime, oh yeah

Everybody is home for Christmas (ohh)
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe (let it snow)
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (let it snow)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime

You need family, gifts under the tree
Everybody is home for Christmas (home for Christmas)
Everybody is home
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (ohh ooh oh)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime



This Year
Written by Lauren Christy, Graham Edwards, Scott Spock, Charlie Midnight, Christina Aguilera

You'll be my New Year's Day, my Valentine
Now I aint gonna stop until I make you mine
You'll be my April Fool, my Mardi Gras
The music on my tongue when I sing fa la la

You'll be my flower child, in the month of May
My sunny summer lover on my holiday
You'll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween
The winter snow and everything that's in between

This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone
This year, this Christmas together
And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly
This year, this Christmas forever (ooh)
And the weeks and the months go rushing by
This year we've learned how to live
How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, ohh ooh
Just love this Christmas, this year

You'll be my spring ahead, my fall behind
The shimmy on my hips oh when I, bump and grind
You'll be my Santa Boy, all dressed in red
And ride that little reindeer all through my head

Oh ooh, oh oh oh
Here we go, oh oh oh oh
Ohh yeah

This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone
This year, this Christmas together (ooh)

This year we have learned how to live
How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, ohh ooh
Just love this Christmas, this year, oh ooh

This year I pray for you, uh
And I thank God for you
Just wanna be with you
This year that's all I wanna do

Day by day, I'm gonna get my way
This year I pray for you
Seasons turn, I've got a lot to learn
And I thank God for you

Now this year I'm gonna, gonna, gonna take you home
Cause I don't wanna be alone
This year, (oh this year) this Christmas together (ohh...)

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Written by Ralph Blane, Hugh Martin

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on your troubles will be out of sight, yeah

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on your troubles will be miles away, oh ooh

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore, ah
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us, once more, ooh

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, ohh
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Oooh...

Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us, once more, ohh

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow, oh yeah
But 'til then we'll have to muddle through, somehow
Oh yeah, oh ooh oh
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now



Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Glo-glo-glo-gloria, in excelsis Deo
Ooh, no, yeah yeah

Shepards, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tidings be, ohh
That inspire your heavenly song
Glo-glo-glo-gloria, in excelsis Deo
Oh oh oh, ooh oh, oh yeah

Ohh, come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing, oh
Come on adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our new-born King
Glo-glo-glo-gloria, in excelsis Deo, oh yeah

On the day, that Christ was born
The angels sang such a heavenly song
In excelsis Deo, ohh

Oh Holy Night
Traditional

Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth, ohh yeah
Now 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, oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
The power, and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen

Fall on your knees, oh hear the angels voices
Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night

Ohhh...yeah yeah
Ha ha ha ha
Ohh yeah
No ohh, ohh yeah
Ohh ooh, ah oh
Now ooh, ohh ooh
Oh yeah

It was a holy, holy night
Ohh, oh ooh, oh ooh
(Oh holy night)
It was a holy night when Jesus Christ was born
(Oh holy night)
Holy...yes, Jesus Christ
(Oh holy night)
And the power, and the glory, yeah
(Oh holy night)
When Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
(Oh holy night)
He was born on this night, on this night
(Oh holy night)
Jesus Christ
Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever
(Oh holy night)



These Are The Special Times

All the world is ours, and this world is so right
You and I sharing this time together, ohh
Sharing the same dream

The Christmas Song
Written by Mel Torme, Robert Wells

Chestnuts roasting on an 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 mistletoe
Will 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 going to 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, ooh ooh yeah
Though its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you, oh yeah, ooh ohh yeah

They know that Santa's on his way, he's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is going to 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, yeah oh
Although its been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, yeah yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, oh
Oh ooh yeah, oh yeah ooh...
To...you

Mmmm, yeah, ooh oh yeah
Merry Christmas
