The Children's House Holiday Song Lyrics

Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,  The Children's House
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.
 

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Sing we joyous all together,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
 

Jingle Bells 

Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way;-- 
Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright,
Oh, what fun it is to 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! 
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!  

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fannie Bright was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank, and we, we got upsot. 

(Chorus)

Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young,
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed nag, two-forty for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack you’ll take the lead. 

(Chorus)

Come Light the Menorah 
O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah, come light the menorah! 
Let’s have a party, we’ll all dance the hora.
Gather ‘round the table, we’ll give you a treat,
Dreydles small to play with, and latkas to eat. 
And while we are playing, the candles are burning low. 
One for each night, they shed a sweet light. 
To remind us of days long ago. 
To remind us of days long ago. 

Rudolph 

You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You could even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer,
You’ll go down in history.
 

Let it Snow 

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 warm

The 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!
 

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.
