Christmas At Our House

Don Pfrimmer - Archie Jordan

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

Christmas at our house warm memories
Bright colored presents and Christmas trees
Marshmallow meadows candy popcorn balls
I knew that Santa wore overalls

Mama bakin' in the kitchen Daddy choppin' firewood
Raisin cookies I was snitchin' Christmas was good
Reachin' out to help a neighbor that's the way it always was
We knew Jesus as our savior Christmas at our house still does

Christmas at our house some things have changed
Faces and numbers have rearranged
Giggles from children stayin' up late
I'd say Santa has gained some weight

Mama bakin' in the kitchen Daddy choppin' firewood...
Christmas at our house is love

Winter Wonderland

Felix Bernard - Dick Smith

© Bregman-Vocco-Conn Music, ASCAP

Sleigh bells ring are you listening
In the lane snow is glistening
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 kids knock him down

When it snows ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring are you listening...

This Time Of The Year

Clyde Otis - Brook Benton - Ben Goodwin

© Vanessa Music, ASCAP

Little girls and little boys
Dream of worlds full of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

And evergreens are snowy white
Sleigh bells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

And somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And choirs sing carols
Of Christmas Day

Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near
When Christmas is near

Oh Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

Santa Bring My Baby Home

William Davidson - Randy Hatch

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

Santa I'm blue
I need a little treat from you
I've been a good girl way too long
Since my man's been gone

When you drop down that chimney, Santa
Santa bring my baby home

Santa I'm sad
Your good girl's gonna go bad
Stranded neath that mistletoe
Without the sweetest love I've known

So when you drop down that chimney Santa
Santa bring my baby home

Since my baby left me
My world has turned so cold
The fire's bright but in my heart
You know it feels like the North Pole

Santa I'm countin' on you
I planned a New Year's Eve for two
Santa I've got to have him
I can't face another year alone

So when you drop down that chimney Santa
Santa bring my baby home

I'm talkin' to ya boy
I said when you slide on down that chimney
Santa bring my baby home ho ho ho

One Night A Year

John Bettis - Royal C. Bannon

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

Once again the windows shine with pretty lights
Once again our loved ones gather at our sight
Busy crowds of strangers greet each other with a smile
There's Christmas in the eyes of every child

Once again the presents are resting by the tree
Once again we worship the One who came for you and me
I hear choirs of voices as they're singing out His name
Again we tell the story of how the Christ Child came

One night a year we believe in peace on earth
One night a year we praise our Saviour's birth
I wish every night the whole year through could be like Christmas Eve
When love's pure light is shining everywhere one night a year

Once again around the world heads are bowed in prayer
Once again the promise of peace is in the air
But soon will come the morning and the feeling will be past
And I can't help but wonder why the feeling only lasts

One night a year we believe in peace on earth
One night a year we praise our Saviour's birth
I wish every night the whole year through could be like Christmas Eve
When love's pure light is shining everywhere one night a year

One night a year we believe in peace on earth
One night a year we praise our Saviour's birth
I wish every night the whole year through could be like Christmas Eve
When love's pure light is shining everywhere one night a year
One night a year

I'll Be Home For Christmas

Kim Gannon - Walter Kent - Buck Ram

© Gannon And Kent Music, ASCAP

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Must Have Been The Mistletoe

Justin Wilde - Douglas Konecky

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire
The fallin' snow
The magic in the frosty air
That feeling everywhere

It must have been the pretty lights
That glistened in the Silent Night
Or maybe just the stars so bright that shined above you

Our first Christmas more then we'd been dreaming of
Old Saint Nicolas had his fingers crossed that we would fall in love

It could have been the holiday
The midnight ride upon a sleigh
The country side all dressed in white
That crazy snowball fight

It could have been the steeple bell
That wrapped us up within it's spell
It only took one kiss to know
It must have been the mistletoe

Our first Christmas more then we'd been dreaming of
Old Saint Nicolas must have known that kiss would leave to all of this

It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire the fallin' snow
The magic in the frosty air
That made me love you

On Christmas eve a wish came true
The night I fell in love with you
It only took one kiss to know
It must have been (the mistletoe)

It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire the fallin' snow
The magic in the frosty air
That feeling everywhere

It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire the fallin' snow
The magic in the frosty air
That made me love you

It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire the fallin' snow
The magic in the frosty air
That feeling everywhere

From Our House To Yours

John Schweers - Lisa Hanchey

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

A Christmas tree with lights turned low
Kids out of school praying for snow
It's the season for counting blessings as the old year ends
The crowded streets the friendly smiles
At Christmas everyone's a child
It's that precious time for family and friends

From our house to yours we send our love
Straight from the heart 'cause you mean so much
From our house to yours may everyone be blessed
May this Christmas be the best from our house to yours

Old memories and mistletoe
Cards signed with love hang in a row
That feeling of Christmas fills the air
The manger scene the star above
Reminds us all God sends His love
May His spirit follow you throughout the year

From our house to yours we send our love
Straight from the heart 'cause you mean so much
From our house to yours may everyone be blessed
And may this Christmas be the best from our house to yours
And may this Christmas be the best from our house to yours
Merry Christmas

Born To Die

Shireen Salyer

© Pi-Gem Music, BMI

Shepherds gaze in wonder
While angel voices sing

Y'all
This night of nights has come
And brought the world the long awaited King

The earth is filled with gladness
And yet the heavens weep
For heaven's eyes can see
He was born to die for me

Jesus baby Jesus is that a tear in your eye
Jesus baby Jesus you must know you were born to die

It must have broken God's heart
For the future He could see
Yet He formed His hands and feet
Knowing one day they'd be nailed to a tree

So all the world could know it
A gift came from above
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son

Jesus baby Jesus with a tear of love in your eye
Jesus baby Jesus you knew you were born to die

The Christmas Story

Tom Collins - Barbara Mandrell

© Tom Collins Music, BMI

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears
Of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

This this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring him praise
The Babe the Son of Mary

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traveled so far
Field and fountain moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Oh come let us adore Him
Oh come let us adore Him
Oh come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled

For God so loved the world
God so loved the world

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

On this 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
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
