Sip a rum’n egg-nog
Sippin’ rum n’ eggnog (iii)
Fire makes a crackle (i)
Fire is a-cracklin (iii)
Revel in the quiet
Of the Yuletide sparkle (i)
Yuletide is a-sparklin (iii)
The gifts are wrapped the tree is lit
An angel is on high
An angel rests on high (iii)
Christmas is here again
It’s time for you and I
Good we got a snow day
So we can all go out
Make our own snow angels’
Full of cheer you won’t pout
We play all day out in the snow
Come in for hot cocoa
Christmas is here again
Hear Santa sing ho ho ho
BDG Memories of Christmas past
Swirl around the room
O holy night the Star is bright
I feel your spirit tonight
3rd VERSE
TAG Christmas is here again
It’s time for you and I

Crunch crunch crunch underfoot
Walking in the snow
Listen to the silent night
Never feel alone
Snowed all night and all day
Everyone house bound
‘cept this happy traveler
Who loves to go to town
CH Christmas Eve will soon be here
A bright star lights the sky tonight
Christmas Eve we gather near
A small child will reveal the light
Head on down to the store
For candy canes and milk
Pick up bread and Christmas cake
Magii wrapped in silk
Journey on this moonless night
Feel the cold wind chill
Guided by a star so bright
Walk home up the hill
CH
Crunch crunch crunch underfoot
Walking in the snow
Listen to the silent night
Never feel alone
Snowed all night and all day
Everyone house bound
‘cept this happy traveler
Safely home from town
CH
Crunch crunch crunch underfoot
Walking in the snow
Listen to the silent night
Never feel alone:/:/:

Frosty the Scotsman
Waits for you in the highland
If you see his light (i)
With a merry eye (v)
In the castle tonight (i)
He’s a little shy (v)
He can be your man (i)
He’d love to be your man (V)
Frosty the Scotsman
Is a very handsome guy
With his open arms
He’ll win your charms
So best that you stop by
Frosty the Scotsman
Is waiting just for you
If you come tonight
He’ll hold you tight
And light a fire for you
Frosty the Scotsman
Can sing with harmony
If you want to dance
Give him a chance
He’ll love you royally
TAG Frosty the Scotsman
He’d love to be your man

You were sitting on the hearthstone
With a glass of red wine
Back lit by the fire
Flames jumping wildly in time
With a song in my heart
That I hope to share
I sat down beside you
Played it for you there
CH Christmas on Spruce Street
Carolers fill the air
Neighbours sip mulled cider
And mingle in the square
You would come to me
We’d skate gracefully on the pond
Moonlit Christmas Eve
Gliding round and round ‘til dawn
I thought you were an angel
Lit up by the tree
A gift for me to find
Under the holly
CH
CH
TAG You came in to my life
at Christmas time with a smile

You made the tree look pretty
You dressed it up so well
You made a living work of art
Hung with silver bells
I’d watch you sway with a smile
At times I’d jump in
Hang jingle bells here and there
And step back with a grin
CH Now I decorate the tree alone
Your love keeps me going
At Christmas time so special
I wish you were home
Suspend a little drummer boy
Let a ballerina spin
A star on top to show the way
And plug the bright lights in
Now you walk with the Lord
Like an angel you flew
I search for the perfect chord
And ring jingle bells for you
CH
TAG I ring jingle bells for you
I ring jingle bells for you

The flames are dancing lightly
In the fireplace
The Christmas tree is dazzling me
See an angel dressed in lace
Buddy dog is snoring
In dreamland on the floor
If I wasn’t missing someone
She’d be walking through the door
CH Christmas now is here a joyous time of year
The king of kings is born this night a heavenly choir I hear
Far away in a manger in a stable in Bethlehem
A baby cries in the night I sing my song for Him
You can hear the snow a-blowin
The howling hard north wind
The doorbell rings my daughter screams
I’m freezing let me in
Buddy jumps up barking
Like it’s all over now
My daughter says you okay Dad
Merry Christmas wow
CH
CH
TAG A baby cries in the night
I sing my song for Him
