Jingle Bells text
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the hills we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.Refrén:
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh -

Jingle Bell Rock text
Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begunJingle bell
Jingle bell
Jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty airWhat a bright time
It’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bellThat’s the jingle bell
That’s the jingle bell rock -
Frank Sinatra – Let It Snow text
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!It doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I’ve bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!When we finally kiss goodnight
How I’ll hate going out in the storm!
But if you’ll really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warmThe fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! -
Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You text
I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas treeI just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah.I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas treeI don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas DayI just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, babyOh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow
And I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoeI won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click‘Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, babyOh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children’s
Laughter fills the airAnd everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need?
Won’t you please bring my baby to me?Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my doorOh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is
You, babyAll I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
