Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet
Oh-ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly have a holly jolly
Chistmas this year!

Under The Mistletoe

Written by Bobby Winstead
Under the mistletoe, that's where I'd like to be
Under the mistletoe, with you standing there with me
When it's Christmastime I'll be first in line
And I sure hope you grant my plea
'Cause you're the only one I want
Standing under the mistletoe with me
I've been good all year, and I'm quite sincere
When I say there's none but you
So I won't be late when we reach the date
For our yuletide rendezvous
When it's Christmastime I'll be first in line
And I sure hope you grant my plea
'Cause you're the only one I want
Standing under the mistletoe with me
Under the mistletoe won't you kiss me if you please?
Under the mistletoe, I don't care if everyone sees
When you say OK I will run your way
Just as quick as one, two, three
'Cause you're the only one I want
Standing under the mistletoe with me
I've been good all year, and I'm quite sincere
When I say there's none but you
So I won't be late when we reach the date
For our yuletide rendezvous
When it's Christmastime I'll be first in line
And I sure hope you grant my plea
'Cause you're the only one I want
Standing under the mistletoe with me

When we gather 'round at Christmastime
I hope you're here with me
Drinking coffee by the fireside
And putting presents under the tree
We'll hear the choir sing on the radio
And meet a time or two 'neath the mistletoe
As merry as can be, darling you and me
When you're here for Christmastime
And when old Saint Nick down the chimney climbs
We’ll be snug and warm as can be
And on Christmas Day we’ll find our stockings full
One for you and one for me
Then out into the cold, fresh fallen snow
With everyone all bundled up we’ll go
With friends and family, darling you and me
When you’re here for Christmastime
When we gather ‘round at Christmastime
I hope you’re there with me
Telling stories by the fireside
And singing carols in harmony.
Please don’t go off into the cold, cold night
We can stay right here and hold each other tight
As merry as can be, darling you and me
When you’re here for Christmastime

He's a chubby little fellow with a long white beard
And he brings us Christmas cheer
He's a ruddly little fellow with a bright red coat
And a sleigh with eight reindeer
He's a happy little fellow with a pack on his back
And a smile that shines so bright
He's the jolly little fellow called Santa Claus
Who'll be 'round on Christmas Eve night
He's a chubby little fellow with a long white beard
And he comes from far away
He's been working all year
Just to try to make you happy on Christmas Day
If all you kiddies will try your best
To do everything just right
Then the jolly little fellow called Santa Claus
Will be 'round on Christmas Eve night
He's a chubby little fellow with a long white beard
And a laugh that rings with cheer
He's a hardy little fellow with a twinkle in his eye
That we love to see each year
If you hang up your stockings
And you’re quiet as mouse and be sure to turn off the light
Then the jolly little fellow called Santa Claus
Will be 'round on Christmas Eve night
He's a chubby little fellow with a long white beard
And he loves all the girls and boys
And he never cares if you're rich or poor
He'll bring you lots of toys
So if you're good to your mom and dad
And say your prayers each night
Then the jolly little fellow called Santa Claus
Will be 'round on Christmas Eve night

Candy cane
I love walking with you down the lane
How you got so sweet I can't explain
Thank Heaven for my candy cane
Oh candy cane
In the stockings hanging by the tree
You'll always be the sweetest thing to me
I'll never lose my candy cane
Christmas without you wouldn't be the same
Here with me is where I hope you will remain
Oh candy cane
I love walking with you down the lane
How you got so sweet I can't explain
Thank Heaven for my candy cane
Candy cane
With you everything is right as rain
Pure contentment wrapped in celophane
I love my sweet candy cane
Oh candy cane
There in your stockings hanging by the tree
You'll always be the sweetest thing to me
Don't let me lose my candy cane
Christmas without you wouldn't be the same
Here with me is where I hope you will remain
Oh candy cane
I love walking with you down the lane
How you got so sweet I can't explain
Thank Heaven for my candy cane

Letter To Santa

Written by Bobby Winstead
I'll write a letter to Santa
And he knows that I've been good
I did all that she wanted
Everything that I should
But she's gone and I don't know
What to do to make it right
So dear Santa, there's just one thing
On my wishlist tonight
CHORUS:
Dear Santa please bring back my baby
You might know where she went, and just maybe
You will see her and ask her to come home
I don't want to spend this Christmas alone
I'll write a letter to Santa
And I know just what I'll say
First I'll ask him about you
And if you're doing OK
Then I'll tell him to bring you
Everything you're wishing for
But I hope that you'll miss me
And come back through that door

All In One Night

Written by Bobby Winstead
They say Santa lives at the ol' North Pole
And he works all year getting ready to go
Then on Christmas Eve he's a one-man show
He does it all in one night
CHORUS:
He does it all in one night
He does it all in one night
All around the whole world to every boy and girl
He does it all in one night
He flies to the north, south, east, and west
All around the world while the children rest
When it comes to Christmas he's the very best
He does it all in one night
Santa packs up his sleigh full of lots of toys
To give to the good little girls and boys
And to each child he brings Christmas joy
And does it all in one night
He has a workshop with elves working night and day
And eight tiny reindeer to pull his sleigh
So get ready, 'cause Santa is heading your way
He does it all in one night
ALT CHORUS
He does it all in one night
He does it all in one night
He does it year after year bringing Christmas cheer
He does it all in one night

O Holy night, the stars are shining bright
A very special night, it's Christmas
Let the choir sing the story of the king
That first night in old Bethlehem
When Mary found the inn had no room left within
She made her bed inside the stable
And when the child was born in the wee hours of the morn
The manger was his only cradle
In this humble place, they passed the night away
With the king of kings, lying in the hay
They kept him warm until the break of day
And say the shepherds come
O Holy night, the stars are shining bright
A very special night, it's Christmas
Let the choir sing the story of the king
That first night in old Bethlehem
On the first Noel, the angel came to tell
The shepherds in the fields there dwelling
They watched their flock by night and saw a heavenly light
As the angel appeared to them and said.
Fear not I have good news, great joy to you I bring
For unto you is born a savior
And you will know it’s he when you find Christ the King
A babe wrapped and lying in a manger.
Then a multitude of the heavenly host
Sang Glory to God and peace on earth.
The shepherds saw the light, and heard the tidings told
And went away the child to behold
Just as the angel said, with a manger for his bed
They saw the holy child with Mary
They told it far and wide, the wonders they had seen
That led them that night to the king.
O Holy night, the stars are shining bright
A very special night, it's Christmas
Let the choir sing the story of the king
That first night in old Bethlehem

It's Christmastime

Written by Bobby Winstead
It's Christmastime, time for singing and bells to chime
It's Christmastime, time for laughter and lights to shine
Everywhere we go, stars are shining and trees aglow
It's Christmastime, the merriest time I know.
So deck the halls, boughs of holly and mistletoe
And let it snow since we’ve no other place to go
With a Ho Ho Ho! Santa is coming from the ol’ North Pole
On Christmas Eve across the sky he’ll go
And you hear those sleigh bells ringing, jingle bells jingling
Ring ting tingling, everyone singing
"Peace on Earth"
"Merry Christmas" too
"Joy to everyone the whole year through!"
It's Christmastime, time for singing and bells to chime
It's Christmastime, time for laughter and lights to shine
Everywhere we go, stars are shining and trees aglow
It's Christmastime, the merriest time I know.
Silver bells, hear them ring as we sing Noel
Spreading joy, peace on Earth and to all goodwill
With loved ones dear it’s delightful by the fire’s glow
It’s Christmastime, the merriest time I know

Sharing joy with loved ones on Christmas
Wishing well for what lies ahead
Songs we sing around the tree
All golden, green and red
This Christmas and all year through
May you have joy coming to you
Hand in hand as the music plays
We'll dance to the Christmas Waltz
When the sun gets low in the evening
With our voices many and strong
Once again we’ll dance and sing
And share this joy all year long.
