December

Grade 2 and 3 2

Shine it in my family

Shine it around the whole world

Won't let anyone blow it out

This Little Light

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Somewhere in My Memory

Candles in the window

Shadows painting the ceiling

Gazing at the fire glow

Feeling that "ginger bread" feeling

Precious moments, special people

Happy faces, I can see.

Somewhere in my memory

Christmas joys all around me

Living in my memory

All of the music, all of the magic

All of the family, home here with me.

Up on the Housetop

Up on the Housetop reindeer pause.

All for the little ones Christmas joys.

Down thought the chimney with good Saint Nick!

Pass the Christmas Present

Pass the Christmas present, steady as you go

All the elves are working and Santa’s in the know

He sees you when you’re sleeping he knows when you’re awake

So pass the parcel to your friends for goodness sake!

Holiday Treats

Yum, yum, yummy

It's time to fill my tummy!

So think of something sweet

A holiday treat!

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list,

He's checking it twice,

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

And he knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

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 would 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

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

and two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say

He was made of snow but the children

know how he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in that

old silk hat they found

For when they placed it on his head

he began to dance around

Frosty the snowman

was alive as he could be

And the children say he could laugh

and play just the same as you and me

Thumpetty thump thump

thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go

Thumpetty thump thump

thumpety thump thump

Over the hills of snow

Frosty the snowman knew

the sun was hot that day

So he said

"Let's run and

we'll have some fun

now before I melt away

" Down to the village

with a broomstick in his hand

Running here and there all

around the square saying

Catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of town

right to the traffic cop

And he only paused a moment when

he heard him holler "Stop!"

For Frosty the snow man

had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye saying

"Don't you cry

I'll be back again some day

" Thumpetty thump thump

thumpety thump thump

Look at Frosty go

Thumpetty thump thump

thumpety thump thump

Over the hills of snow

Winter This or that rhythm

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

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
