Deck the Hall Deck the hall with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Greensleeves Alas! My love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously, And I have loved you so long, Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady Greensleeves.
In the Bleak Midwinter In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone. Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter, long, long, ago.
What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were shepherd, I would bring a lamb. If I were a wise man, I would do my part. Yet what can I give him: give my heart.

Here We Come A-Wassailing Here we come a wassailing Among the leaves so green, Here we come a-wand’ring So fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you, And to you your wassail too, And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year. And God send you a Happy New Year.
We are not daily beggars That beg from door to door But we are neighbor’s children Whom you have seen before.
Love and joy come to you, And to you your wassail too, And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year. And God send you a Happy New Year.
We Wish You a Merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas (x3) And a Happy New Year!
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin, Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Please bring us some figgy pudding (x3) Please bring it right here!
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin, Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!
We won’t go until we get some (x3) So bring some out here!
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin, Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Angels We Have Heard on High Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis Deo Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Angels we have heard on high Sweetly, sweetly through the night And the mountains in reply Echoing their brief delight
Gloria, in excelsis Deo Gloria, in excelsis Deo
I Saw Three Ships I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas Day in the morning
And all the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day And all the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas Day in the morning
And all the souls on earth shall sing On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day And all the souls on earth shall sing On Christmas Day in the morning
Then let us all rejoice again On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day Then let us all rejoice again On Christmas Day in the morning

Jingle Bells Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. (x2)
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh Through the fields we go Laughing all the way. Bells on bob-tail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. (x2)
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! 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.

The Holly and the Ivy The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown: O, the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer. The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir.

Patapan Willie, take your little drum, With your whistle, Robin, come! When we hear the fife and drum, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan When we hear the fife and drum, Christmas should be frolicsome.
God and man are now become More at one than fife and drum When you hear the fife and drum, Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan, When you hear the fife and drum, Dance, and make the village hum!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Thy candles shine out brightly. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Thy candles shine out brightly. Each bough doth hold its tiny light, That makes each toy to sparkle bright. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Thy candles shine out brightly.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Of all the trees most lovely. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Of all the trees most lovely. Each year you bring to us delight with brightly shining Christmas light. O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Of all the trees most lovely.
