Mister Christmas

They call me Mister Christmas
I'm the most Christmassy guy you'll ever know
They call me Mister Christmas
Decked out from mistlehead to mistletoe
Gathered round the tree
There's my family
And everyone looks happy and gay
But hither just beyond
Where the light has shone
There's someone who's sitting all alone
They call me Mister Christmas
But I'm not quite as jolly as Old Saint Nick
What befalls me - a winter sickness
I am crawling with humbugs and reindeer ticks
Gathered round the hearth
They are gabbing with mirth
To celebrate the newborn Christ king birth
But someone is not there
I've gone up the stairs
To sing alone
A gentle kind of song
Playing along
On an old Casio
They open the door
And see me on the floor
I'm playing a wistful Christmas tune
We're playing a wistful Christmas tune
They tell me I look like Krampus
when I'm in a black mood this time of year
So, I'll have a brandy Swiss Miss
to nurse me back to health and goodly cheer
So call me Mister Christmas
I'm the most Christmassy guy you'll ever know
Yes, please call me Mister Christmas
Decked out from mistlehead to mistletoe

Santa's Workshop

In a land of snow and twinkling lights,
Where joy and wonder fill the winter nights,
There's a magic place hidden from view,
A secret Workshop, where dreams come true.
Santa's Workshop, what a festive sight
Elves are busy working through the night
Toys and gifts for every girl and boy,
In Santa's Workshop, a season of joy.
Hammers tapping, little saws in tune,
Elves crafting beneath the silvery moon.
Santa checks his list not once but twice,
As the air fills up wi th hot pumpkin spice.
Santa's Workshop, what a festive sight
Elves are busy working through the night
Toys and gifts for every girl and boy,
In Santa's Workshop, a season of joy.

Silent Night

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
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Christmas Tide
03:50
|
|
||
When the merry spring time weaves
Its peeping bloom and dewy leaves;
When the primrose opens its eye,
And the young moth flutters by;
When the plaintive turtle dove
Pours out its quiet notes of peace and love;
And the clear sun flings its glory bright and wide—
Yet, my soul will own
More joy in winter's frown,
And wake with a warmer flush at Christmas tide.
When the summer beams may shine
On the rich and curling vine,
And the noon-tide rays light up
The tulip's dazzling cup:
But the pearly little misletoe
And the holly-berries' soft winter glow
Are not even by the boasted rose outvied;
For the happy hearts beneath
The green and coral wreath
Love the garlands that are twined at Christmas tide.
But while joy's echo falls
In gay and plenteous halls,
Let the poor and lowly share
The warmth, the sports, the fare;
Let the autumn days produce
Yellow corn and purple juice,
And Nature's feast be spread
In the fruitage ripe and red;
’Tis grateful to always behold
Gushing grapes and wavy fields of gold,
When cheeks are brown'd and red lips deeper dyed:
But give, oh! give to me
The winter night of glee,
The mirth and plenty seen at Christmas tide.
The song, the laugh, the shout,
Shall mock the storm without;
And sparkling wine-foam rise
’Neath still more sparkling eyes;
The northern gust may howl,
The rolling storm-cloud scowl,
King Frost may make a slave
Of the river's rapid wave,
The snow-drift choketh the path,
Or the hail-shower spendeth its wrath;
But the sternest blast right bravely is defied,
While limbs and spirits bound
To the merry minstrel sound,
And social wood-fires blaze at Christmas tide.
