The Blessed Dawn Of Christmas Day – Harry Connick Jr.
The blessed dawn of christmas day As honestly as children pray The warmth that melts the eve away The holiness of alpenglow
I rose to join the glorious morn Whose calm and splendor would adorn The virgin mother's infant born The blessed dawn of christmas day
I pray one day my heart will see The light of god's eternity And know that Jesus died for me Now close, my eyes So I may rise At blessed dawn of christmas day

The Best Gift – Barbra Streisand
The best gift That I ever got Didn't really weigh a lot It didn't have a ribbon 'round And it sometimes made the terrible sound The best of all it seems to me It wasn't neath the christmas tree And yet, I guess I'd have to say That it made all the other presents twice as gay The best gift that I've ever known I'd always wanted most to own Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice I never thought it could be so nice The best gift that I ever get Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet Was usually pink but oftentimes red As it lay so innocently in it's bed The best gift of the year to me The one I hold most dear to me A gift that simply drove me wild Was a tiny new born child...

Nuttin' For Christmas - Sugarland
I broke my bat on Johnny's head; Somebody snitched on me. I hid a frog in sister's bed; Somebody snitched on me. I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug; I made Tommy eat a bug; Bought some gum with a penny slug; Somebody snitched on me.
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas Mommy and Daddy are mad. I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas 'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I put a tack on teacher's chair Somebody snitched on me. I tied a knot in Susie's hair Somebody snitched on me. I did a dance on Mommy's plants Climbed a tree and tore my pants Filled the sugar bowl with ants Somebody snitched on me.
So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas Mommy and Daddy are mad. I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas 'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I won't be seeing Santa Claus; Somebody snitched on me. He won't come visit me because Somebody snitched on me. Next year I'll be going straight; Next year I'll be good, just wait I'd start now, but it's too late; Somebody snitched on me.
So you better be good whatever you do 'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you, You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.

I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day - Casting Crowns
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along the unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men."
Till, ringing singing, on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men!

Joseph's Lullaby – Mercy Me
Go to sleep my Son This manger for your bed You have a long road before You Rest Your little head
Can You feel the weight of Your glory? Do You understand the price? Or does the Father guard Your heart for now So You can sleep tonight?
Go to sleep my Son Go and chase Your dreams This world can wait for one more moment Go and sleep in peace
I believe the glory of Heaven Is lying in my arms tonight But Lord, I ask that He for just this moment Simply be my child
Go to sleep my Son Baby, close Your eyes Soon enough You'll save the day But for now, dear Child of mine Oh my Jesus, Sleep tight

Here Is Christmas – Ann & Nancy Wilson
The night was black and velvet, the stars were all around A stranger landed lightly on the frosty ground His eyes were wide with wonder filled with stars and space He'd searched the heavens over till he found this place
A sweet and snowy carol echoed in his ears A song so faint and distant, so strong it drew him here
Here is Christmas come inside Here is Christmas far and wide A thousand candles burning bright Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
He wandered through the city lost in the shopping crowds People rushing, people pushing, he watched without a sound Cash machines were singing about the biggest year But above this strange confusion the carol still rang clear
Then he saw a raggedy man with an ancient mandolin And he knew he'd found the answer when the song began again
Here is Christmas come inside Here is Christmas far and wide A thousand candles burning bright Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
Here is Christmas come inside Here is Christmas far and wide A million candles burning bright Here is Christmas shining in our eyes

Candlelight Carol - Mormom Tabernacle Choir
How do you capture The wind on the water? How do you count all the stars in the sky? How can you measure The love of a mother Or how can you write down A baby's first cry?
Candlelight, angel light Firelight and star glow Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing The Christ child is born
Shepherds and wise men Will kneel and adore him Seraphim round him their vigil will keep Nations proclaim him Their Lord and their Saviour But Mary will hold him And sing him to sleep
Candlelight, angel light Firelight and star glow Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing The Christ child is born
Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation A child with his mother That first Christmas Day
Candlelight, angel light Firelight and star glow Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing The Christ child is born Angels are singing The Christ child is born

Merry Christmas Polka – Jim Reeves
This is Christmas season so there isn't any reason We can't dance the Christmas polka Hear the sleigh bells ringing everybody's singing Dancing the Christmas polka
Christmas trees and holly, make everyone so jolly And love just fills the air It's a wonderful world for a boy and a girl While dancing the Christmas polka
The merry Christmas polka Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance Everyone's so happy The air is filled with romance
Watch the sweethearts kissing' As they dance neath the mistletoe It's a sight to behold for the young and the old The merry Christmas polka
The merry Christmas polka
This is Christmas season so there isn't any reason We can't dance the Christmas polka Hear sleigh bells ringing everybody's singing Dancing the Christmas polka
Christmas trees and holly, make everyone so jolly And love just fills the air It's a wonderful world for a boy and a girl While dancing the Christmas polka

Christmas Song – Dave Mathews Band
She was his girl; he was her boyfriend She be his wife; take him as her husband A surprise on the way, any day, any day One healthy little giggling dribbling baby boy The wise men came three made their way To shower him with love While he lay in the hay Shower him with love love love Love love love Love love is all around Not very much of his childhood was known Kept his mother Mary worried Always out on his own He met another Mary for a reasonable fee, less than Reputable as known to be
His heart was full of love love love Love love love Love love is all around When Jesus Christ was nailed to the his tree Said "oh, Daddy-o I can see how it all soon will be I came to she'd a little light on this darkening scene Instead I fear I spill the blood of my children all around"
The blood of our children all around The blood of our children all around The blood of our children all around So the story goes, so I'm told The people he knew were Less than golden hearted Gamblers and robbers Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers Like you and me
Rumors insisited he soon would be For his deviations Taken into custody by the authorities Less informed than he. Drinkers and jokers. all soul searchers Searching for love love love Love love love Love love is all around
Preparations were made For his celebration day He said "eat this bread and think of it as me Drink this wine and dream it will be The blood of our children all around The blood of our children all around" The blood of our children all around
Father up above, why in all this anger have you fill Me up with love Fill me love love love Love love love Love love And the blood of our children all around

Christmas Is A Feeling In Your Heart - Andy Williams
There are toys for girls and boys Silver bells make merry noise Yet you should remember from the start Christmas is a feeling in your heart.
Holly wreaths and mistletoe Carols by the candle's glow, These are not the most important part Christmas is a feeling in your heart.
Faith and hope, goodwill to man, Love and peace, and faith again. Let the prayers that Christmas bring Brush your heart like angel wings
Christmas Day will soon be gone Yet the joy will linger on If you only learn to do your part Let Christmas be a feeling in your heart

Christmas Must Be Tonight - The Band
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace The wheels start turning, torches start burning And the whole wise men journey from the east
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight
A shepherd on the hillside, went over my flock I bide On a cold winter night, a band of Angels sing In a dream I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoice It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King"
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies But why a simple herdsmen such as I And then it came to pass, he was born at last Right below the star that shines on high
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Be tonight, be tonight Be tonight, be tonight Be tonight, be tonight
