With halos so bright
Whose carols were heard
On that first Christmas Night
So merrily ringing
Joy to the world
Is the message they're bringing
That so brightly shine
To give a warm welcome
To your friends and mine
With garlands of green
To make Christmas merry
As far as they're seen
With fragrance so rare
So plentiful at Christmas
Their scent fills the air
The whole season long
From trimming the tree
To singing a song
A merry "hello"
With a heart full of love
For people we know
H is for Holly
To make into wreaths
To hang overhead
On snow covered hills
Where sledding is fun
Along with the spills
The Christ child to dear
We honor his birth
On Christmas each year
So merrily he stands
He is who they call Santa
In so many lands
I am sure that their light
Helped Mary and Joseph
That first Christmas Night
Her heart full of love
For her little son Jesus
Who came from above
The angels did sing
To herald the birth
of Jesus, our king
So shining and bright
With lights on the tree
To sparkle at night
With ribbons so gay
All 'round the tree
For our Christmas Day
Christmas Eve Night
With snow covered hills
Glistening so bright
Who pull Santa's sleigh
To your house, to my house
They know the way
Who first saw the star
Over Bethlehem's manger
And followed it far
We decorate so gay
Then wait for ol' Santa
To hurry our way
Where Christmas brings joy
To all in world
To each girl and each boy
Friends near and far
We travel by plane
Or by bus, or by car
Who brought gifts so rare
And knelt down and worshiped
The child they found there
Or Christmas by full name
No matter the language
It all means the same
Whose bright sparks fly high
To give a warm welcome
To friends passing by
We show at this time
In giving to others
And loving mankind
