All I want for Christmas Gee, if I could only All I want for Christmas Gee, if I could only |

|
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at 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 Hes loaded lots of toys and goodies On his sleigh And every mother's Child is gonna 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 it's been said many times Many ways; Merry Christmas to you |

|
Fast away the old year passes,
-or-
He our pleasures may redouble,
At his birth, he brings us
gladness, (Welsh Lyrics)

Chorus We are not daily beggars Chorus Good master and mistress, Chorus God bless the master of this
house, Chorus |

|
Have yourself a merry little
Christmas, Here we are as in olden days,
Through the years |

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go; Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, Toys in ev'ry store, But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door. A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go; There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart. |

Dashing through the snow Chorus Day or two ago Chorus Now the ground is white, Chorus |

|
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle
bell rock What a bright time, it's the
right time |

Not only in the summertime,
O Christmas tree, O Christmas
tree, O Christmas tree, O Christmas
tree, O Christmas tree, O Christmas
tree, O Christmas tree, O Christmas
tree, O Christmas tree, O Christmas
tree, O Christmas tree, O Christmas
tree, |

Gene Newman, a dear friend and homeschooling dad of ten children from Michigan, forwarded this information. Thought y'all would be interested.
Christmas is a season of the Christian Year that lasts for the twelve days beginning December 25 and lasting until January 6 the Day of Epiphany, when the church celebrates the revelation of Christ as the Light of the world and recalls the journey of the Magi.
From 1558 until 1829 Roman Catholics in England were not allowed to practice their faith openly. During that era someone wrote The Twelve Days of Christmas as a kind of secret catechism that could be sung in public without the risk of persecution. The song has two levels of interpretation: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of the church. Each element in the carol is a code word for a religious reality.
The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus Christ.
The two turtledoves are the older and newer testaments. (Hebrews 8:6-13)
Three French hens stand for faith, hope and love. (1 Corinthians 13:13; 1 Thess. 5:8)
The four calling birds are the four Gospels.
The five gold rings recall the Torah (Law), the first five books of the older testament.
The six geese a-laying stand for the six days of creation. (Genesis 1)
Seven swans a-swimming represent the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
The eight maids a-milking are the eight beatitudes. (Matthew 5:3:-11)
Nine ladies dancing? These are the nine fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23).
The ten lords a-leaping are the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20; Deuteronomy 5:6-21).
Eleven pipers piping stand for the eleven faithful disciples.
Twelve drummers drumming symbolize the 12 points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

Chorus Love and joy come to you, We are not daily beggars We have a little purse God bless the Master of this
house, |

|
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
We won't go until we get some;
|

|
Gone away is the bluebird,
In the meadow we can build
a snowman, He'll say: Are you married?
Later on, we'll conspire, In the meadow we can build
a snowman, When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Walking in a winter wonderland,
