All the favorite Christmas Songs & Hymns

[Bandit]

I will start first with one that I really like.

Bandaid

It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Spare a thought this Yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
You ain't gotta feel guilt, just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless
Do they know it's Christmas time at all

Feed the world, feed the world, feed the world
Feed the world, feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Happy Christmas (War is over)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Xmas_(War_Is_Over)

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over, a new one begun

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

So this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas
For the lonely and scared
Lets stand up together
What times we can share

A very, merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

So this is Christmas

War is over
If you want it
War is over
If you want it
War is over
If you want it
War is over

and one I like to hear is the Twelve Days of Christmas.

my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree.

What does it mean to you?

[Bandit]

I suppose I will be singing alone around here but that is ok.

I like this lullaby too.


Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

[Bandit]

that doggie is awesome! I have never seen a dog love snow that much, never in my life to run in snow that deep. That was a good one for Rudolph. It just made my night. Thanks, BROKENN.



Here is Bad Santa...Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Aww Bandit, I would sing with you, but, you would have to get ear plugs.

Actually my favorite Christmas CD is Connie Francis. She was a bit before my time, but I think the greatest female singer ever.

[Bandit]

I know Connie Francis...where the boys are. She must have made about 100 albums in her day. She was a flirt with big hair, seductive eyes and an awesome vocalist.

There were a few songs she did that remind me of Patsy Cline & she sang with Hank Williams Jr, I remember.. Connie could sing just about every style there was. I have never heard the Christmas albums yet.

I am not sure, but I think my favorite Christmas album is with Dolly Pardon & Kenny Rogers. They make a great duet.

[Bandit]

Only 4 songs for christmas? when there must be hundreds?



nat king cole - the christmas song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oj3jixMGaw

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you

Winter Wonderland 1934 -Winter Wonderland/Eurythmics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs78_vQ5qR8&feature=related

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking 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've made,
Walking 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 mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

[breezyday]

I love Carol of the Bells
So no words to post.

[Lacy]

I suppose I will be singing alone around here but that is ok.

No Bandit you aren't singing alone. I am singing ........

Hard Candy Christmas , by Dolly Parton


Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair
Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
They'll all lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine
Me, I'll be just

Fine and Dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow get me way down

Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on

Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine
Me, I'll be just

Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down

'Cause I'll be fine
(I'll be fine)
Oh, I'll be fine
