Deck the Halls

A classic carol, and one of the people ever preferred. First, a funny approach by the Angry Birds. Secondly, one more updated version...

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la!
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la!

See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la!
Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la!
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la!

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la!
Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la!
Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

What if have an eye at the tune? Do you dare?

Jingle Bell Rock

Enjoy one of the most famous carols and sing along...

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock

Ebenezer Scrooge is a greedy businessman who thinks only of making money. For him, Christmas is, in his own words, a humbug. It has been seven years since his friend and partner, Jacob Marley, died. On Christmas Eve, Marley's ghost visits him and tells him he is to be visited during the night by three spirits. The Ghost of Christmas Past revisits some of the main events in Scrooge's life to date, including his unhappy childhood, his happy apprenticeship to Mr. Fezziwig who cared for his employees, and the end of his engagement to a pretty young woman due to growing love of money. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows him how joyously is nephew Fred and his clerk, Bob Cratchit, celebrate Christmas with those they love, with a especial focus on Tim, Bob's son, who is seriously ill. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows him what he will leave behind after he is gone and he is given the chance to change his way of living and save himself and others from his terrible fate. Scrooge awakens on Christmas morning, a new man intent on doing good and celebrating the season with all of those around him.

All I Want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas it's you is an old song performed for the first time by singer Mariah Carey. This season, the song has been updated and released as a duet by Mariah Carey herself an Justin Bieber. Let's review this new version, with even new lyrics.

[Justin]

I just can't wait

[Mariah]

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

And I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

[Mariah]

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

[Mariah]

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas

Is you

You, baby

[Justin]

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

And I'm just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

[Justin]

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

[Justin]

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Cause baby all I want for Christmas is you

You

[Mariah & Justin]

Oh-ho, all the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children

Laughter fills the air

[Mariah & Justin]

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you bring me the one I really need?

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Yeah

[Mariah]

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby (Yeahhh)

Standing right outside my door

[Mariah]

Oh I just want you for my own

[Justin]

For my own

Baby

[Mariah]

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

[Mariah & Justin]

Baby all I want for Christmas is

You baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby

 

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 tails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Oh, 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 Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

We got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot

Oh, 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 yeah

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a fictional reindeer with a glowing red nose. He is popularly known as "Santa's 9th Reindeer" and, when depicted, is the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. The luminosity of his nose is so great that it illuminates the team's path through inclement winter weather.

The following is a version of Rudolph' famous carol by Destiny's Child:

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
Play 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 all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down In history!

Do They Know It's Christmas?

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 to raise money for relief of 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia. The original version was produced by Midge Ure, and released by Band Aid on 29 November 1984.

The song became the biggest selling single in UK singles chart history, selling a million in the first week alone. It stayed at Number 1 for five weeks and ultimately sold more than 3.5 million copies domestically. 

Do They Know It's Christmas

Band-Aid

It's Christmas time,
there's no need to be afraid.
At Christmas time
we let in light and 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 are ringing
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.
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow.

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you...
Raise a glass for everyone.
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun.

Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

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

Feed the world,
Let them know it's Christmas time again.
(Repeat several times and fade)
