Stick 'em up - all your favorite holiday tunes. I'll start off with one song especially for my professor.

Merry Christmas, Darling | The Carpenters

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one more wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas darling
We're apart that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmas-ing with you

Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say

That I wish you a Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
 
Jewel's Version - Winter Wonderland

sleighbells ring, are you list'nin?
in the lane snow is glist'nin
a beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is the new bird
he sings a love song
as we go along
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

in the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is parson brown
he'll say, "are you married?"
we'll say, "no, man!
but you can do the job when you're in town!"

later on we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
to face unafraid
the plans that we made
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

in the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
we'll have lots of fun with mr. snowman
until the other kiddies knock him down!

when it snows, ain't it thrillin'
though your nose gets a chillin'?
we'll frolic and play
the eskimo way
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin'
in the lane snow is glistenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
are you listenin', sleighbells ring are you listenin'
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
sleighbells ring are you listenin', sleighbells ring :
(walkin' in a winter wonderland!)
 
Santa's Creepy Secret
ORGY

Spoiled one got your heart set,
Hoping for a brand new bike.
Getting anxious, just you wait and see.
"Mommy please, everybody's got one!"
I hope you like walking, 'cause its never going to come.
You, promised me.
Someone's telling lies


They used to lie to me.
Someone's telling lies.
Expectations from the chimminey
Dream in disguise.
Because we've lots to see
Tinsel dreams of what they promised me.
I'm on a miracle mission from the carousel team.


Chorus: I hate to be the one.
There is no Santa Claus.
There is no Santa Claus.
I hate to be the one that tells you.
What you bleieve, it's only fairy tales.


Gamma ray gun, six sweaters extending over your head
Had to sleep till you burned. You're so lucky.
Now you're all grown up with a badge and a gun,
Fighting crime in December brings you tainted memories.
If you got what you wanted, then you might be nice, nice.
Get your christmas wish then you sleep with the fish.


Chorus


Send holiday cheer to the flaming reindeer
And all the other crap that goes with that!
I'm sorry to say.
So be careful who's lap you sit upon,
You just might turn Kris Kringle on.
Your whispers they may, may, may....
Get your christmas wish then you sleep with the fish .. (fade out)
 
So I am not traditional

AC/DC - Mistress For Christmas

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the day
I just can't wait till Christmas time
When I can grope you in the hay
(When I can roll you in the hay)

Easy come, easy go
Have a good time with lots of dough
Slippin' up high, slippin' down low
Love'm and leave'm on with the show

Listen, I like female form in minimum dress
Money to spend with a capital S
Get a date with the woman in red
Wanna be in heaven with three in a bed
(One of me in heaven...)

He got it, I want it
They got it, I can't have it
But I want it, but it don't matter
She got it, and I can't get it
I want a mistress for Christmas
I want a mistress for Christmas

(Ooh yeah, haha yeah
I want a mistress for Christmas
Come on)

Easy come, easy go
Slippin' high, slippin' low

(Yeah, aw right)

He got it, I want it
They got it, I can't have it
I want it, don't matter
She got it, and I can't get it -

Mistress
he got it, I want it
For Christmas
They got it, and I can't have it
Mistress
But I want it, it don't matter
For Christmas
She got it, and I can't get a

Mistress for Christmas

You know what I'm talkin' about
Mistress for Christmas
You gotta send me down
you gotta send me down
Mistress for Christmas
I want the woman in red
(I want a woman in the rear,)
with bow in my bed
(with a bottle of my beer)

Mistress for Christmas

I can hear you coming down my smoke stack
I wanna ride on your raindeer honey and ring the bells
 
The absolute best Christmas song ever written :

Christmas Rapping : The Waitresses

"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go,

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.

A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending! "

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
 
Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma go run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of pig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours.
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.



Yep I am a hillbilly, this song never fails to make me smile. :D
 
U2~ Baby please come home for Christmas

It's Christmas
Baby, please come home

(Yeah!)

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home

The churchbells in town
They're rining a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

Theyr'e singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching 'em shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home

Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Ohh...

Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Ohh...
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
 
Faith Hill~ where are you christmas

Where are you Christmas
Why can't I find you
Why have you gone away
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me
Why can't I hear music play


My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too

Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go

Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time

I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of Christmas
Stays here in silence
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas
Fills your heart with love
 
Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It’s the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

So here it is,
Merry Christmas,
Everybody’s having fun,
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun.

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you’ve got the room to spare inside?
Does your Granny always tell you
That the old songs are the best,
Then she’s up and rock ‘n’ rollin’ with the rest...

So here it is,
Merry Christmas,
Everybody’s having fun,
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun.

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will to start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a bobby you have made?
When you land upon your head then you’ve been Slade.

So here it is,
Merry Christmas,
Everybody’s having fun,
Look to the future now
It’s only just begun. (x 4)
 
An old one, but always my favorite....


Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here were are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane, 1943
 
Gabriel's Message by Sting

The Angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flames
"Oh hail" has said he to Holy Maiden Mary
(to holy mary)
Most highly favoured maid Gloria

Forknown a blessed mother thou shalt be
For generations loan and honnaly
Thy son shall be Imanuel th'as years forsawt =(forseen)

(Most highly favoured maid Gloria)

The gentle Mary neatly bowed the head
"To me, be as it pleaseth God" she said
"My soul shall whole and magnify this holy maid"
Most highly favoured maid Gloria

Of her Imanuel, the Christ was crossed
His Bethlehem all honor Christmas ghost
As everyone through out the world will Heaven save

December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons

Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night!

Oh what a night,
You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night!

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling bolt of thunder
Spinning my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walked in the room
And I, as I recall it ended much too soon

Oh what a night,
Why'd it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night!

I felt a rush like a rolling ball of thunder
Spinning my head around and taking my body under

(Oh what a night!)

Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit
Oh what a night! Doo dit doo dit dit doo dit doo dit dit

;)
 
Wee fish ewe a mare egrets moose,
Wee fish ewe a mare egrets moose,
Wee fish ewe a mare egrets moose,
Panda hippo gnu deer!

Sorry.. Couldn't resist.
 
The Angel Gabriel
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings were drift as snow, his eye aflame.
All hail said he thy holy maiden Mary.
Most highly favoured lady. Gloria.
 
Ohhhh..I'm a'lovin this thread...

Silver Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling like Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa’s big scene
And above all the bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day



I'm a classic kinda girl. More to come.
 
Baby It's Cold Outside

I really can't stay, (Baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The evening has been, so very nice
(I hold your hands, there just like ice)

My mother will start to worry
and father will be pacin' the floor
So really I'd better scurry
well maybe just a half a drink more

The neighbours might think, (Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink, (No caps to be had out there)
I wish I knew how, to break the spell

I ought to say, no, no, no sir
at least I'm gonna say that I tried
I really can't stay, outthere it's cold outside

I simply must go, (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no, (Uhh, Baby, it's cold outside)
The welcome has been, so nice and warm
(Look out the window at that storm)

My sister will be suspicious
My brother will be there at the door
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
well maybe just a half a drink more

I've got to get home, (Baby, you'll freeze outthere)
Say lend me a comb, (It's up to your knees outthere)
You've really been grand, but don't you see
(How can you do this thing to me)

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
at least there will be plenty implied
I really can't stay, outthere it's cold outside

Baby, it's cold outside
 
It Must Have Been The Mistletoe
(Our First Christmas)



It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow, the magic in the frosty air, that feeling ev'rywhere.
It must have been the pretty lights that glistened in the silent night, or maybe just the stars so bright that shined above you.

Our first Christmas, more than we'd been dreaming of.
Old Saint Nich'las had his fingers crossed,
that we would fall in love.

It could have been the holiday, the midnight ride upon a sleigh, the country side all dressed in white, that crazy snowball fight.
It could have been the steeple bell that wrapped us up within its spell.
It only took one kiss to know, it must have been the mistletoe.

Our first Christmas . . . more than we'd been dreaming of.

Old Saint Nich'las . . . must have known that kiss
would lead to all of this.

It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow, the magic in the frosty air, that made me love you.
On Christmas Eve a wish come true, that night I fell in love with you.
It only took one kiss to know, it must have been
The mistletoe!

It must have been . . . . . the mistletoe!

It must have been . . . .


The Mistletoe!

It's Christmas time for my penis.
 
What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Aah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Aah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?
 
Christmas Waltz

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree

Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say

Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too!

Frosted window panes
(See them gleaming)
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Just look and you'll see

Santa's on his way
(That's why sleigh bells are ringing)
He's filled his sleigh
(And that's why we're all singing)
With things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year
(Time for falling)
When the world falls in love
(So in love)
Every song you hear seems to say

Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too!

To tell you she's in town.

The ride's on me."

Bringing joy to every girl and boy;

My Grown-Up Christmas List ~ Amy Grant

Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee.
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm all grown up now,
But still need help somehow.
I'm not a chile but my heart still can dream.

So here's my lifelong wish,
my grown-up christmas list,
not for myself, but for a world in need:

No more lives torn apart,
and wars would never start,
and time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one would have a friend,
that right would always win,
and love would never end:
This is my grown-up christmas list.

As children we believed
the grandest sight to see
was something lovely wrapped beneash the tree.
Well, heaven surely knows
that packages and bows
can never heal a hurting human soul.

No more lives torn apart,
and wars would never start,
and time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one would have a friend,
that right would always win,
and love would never end:
This is my grown-up christmas list.

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth!

There'd be...
No more lives torn apart,
and wars would never start,
and time would heal all hearts.
Ev'ry one would have a friend,
that right would always win,
and love would never end:
This is my grown-up christmas list,
this is my only lifelong wish,

This is my Grown-up Christmas List!
