You
Are My Holiday

From
Susan Greenbaum: You Are My Holiday
We're
driving, and it's cold out, and I do believe that's snow
The
frosting on the pine trees is a shameless postcard show
The
deer along the treeline makes a beeline for the wood
This
is good, this is glee, me for you and you for me
You
are my holiday
We're
shopping, and the time flies, and we find the grocery store
Flour,
sugar, butter - time to go, they've locked the door
I
will peel the squash, we'll have a nosh and get to work
Such
a perk, such a deal, all the love that you make real
You
are my holiday
You
are my holiday
The
magic spell of jingle bells, the festival of lights
And
all the nights I dreamed of you
Such
fancy flights - my dreams came true
You
are my holiday
We're
laughing, and the heat's on, and the countertop is full
the
spuds and onions grated, and the cider's set to mull
One
hundred backing cookies - honey, lookie, turkey's done!
This
is fun, this is festive, this is how I want to live
Help
me light the candles, I will help you light the tree
We
can teach each other all the songs we've known since we were three
You
are wrapping, you are ribbon and a bow
You
are potato pancakes, pumpkin pie and candle glow
You
are my holiday
We're
dozing, and it's midnight, and the fire still burns strong
It's
lights out in an hour, sound asleep before too long
no
matter where I am, I have my family right here
This
is clear, this is fine, I am yours and you are mine

From
Kerry Getz: It's A Wonderful Life
There
in a house I once knew
A
little girl stood in wait by the window
Silent
and watching on a starry night
One
Christmas so long ago
She
never did see St. Nick
Still
wishes came true and the world was enchanted
The
one day the other days just dreamed about
Remember
when Christmas was magic
So
treasure the moments and laugh at the grown-ups
And
listen for sleigh bells and reindeer and dream
Then
join in the singing the jing-jangling-ing
Put
all your troubles aside
Even
if it's only just for one night
Say
to yourself
Yes,
it's a wonderful life
Now
with every Christmas returns
A
ghost from the past this Marley's a young girl
Silent
and waiting up for Santa Claus
I
join her and watch out the window
Treasure
the moments and laugh at the grown-ups
And
listen for sleigh bells and reindeer and dream
Then
join in the singing the jing-jangling-ing
Put
all your troubles aside
Even
if it's only just for one night
Say
to yourself
Yes,
it's a wonderful life

I
remember Christmas as a child
I'd
wake my brother
With
a mischievous smile
It
seemed like Santa read my mind
He
brought me joy
At
Christmastime
A
world free from trouble
Mom
and Dad inside
Making
all the magic of Christmastime
Catching
snowflakes on our tongues
There's
still a child in everyone
At
Christmastime
Leave
behind your troubles
And
come inside
We're
making all the magic
Of
Christmastime
Laughing
with the ones we love
There's
still a child in everyone
At
Christmastime
With
every gift you give
With
every gift you get
Find
the child in your heart
That's
where the Christmas spirit is
And
let it shine
At
Christmastime

About Angels

Now
it's December, the air's getting colder
The
day's growing shorter, the night's taking over
And
I was in the kitchen just dining alone
But
I was thinking about our old love
Remember
that Christmas we stayed with your parents
We
were so broke we could not afford presents
But
we drank hot chocolate and sang by the fire
and
snow fell and we were in love (like)
Angels
had brought us together
Here
we go now, again it's December
And
I thought you might remember
Singing
about angels that night
We
were singing about angels that night
And
how bout those snowshoes we got from your father
We'd
run too fast and then fall down with laughter
And
all of the houses were glowing like candles
And
snow fell and we were in love (back when)
Angels
had brought us together
here
we go now, again it's December
And
I though you might remember
Singing
about angels that night
We
were singing about angels that night
And
it's a silent night / it's a lonely night
The
smell of a pine tree was strong on your fingers
Amid
hungry caresses and kisses that lingered
And
now for the life of me I can't remember
Why
we let go of that love
When
angels brought us together
Don't
you know that they whispered forever
So
why not move a bit closer
And
sing about angels tonight
We
could sing about angels tonight

From Karen
Jacobsen: Here In My Heart
Fate
stepped in and brought us here tonight
And
I know that you can feel it it's in every word you write
With
every thought for me it's just the same
When
there is peace and quiet
And
I am scared or frightened
When
I am lost or found
You
are all around me
All
around me
Time
casts such a spell on lonely dreams
And
I long to hold you near me
And
it's srtronger than it seems
At
last the tide is searching for the shore
You
are all around me
All
around me
All
around me
Dark
is light
All
around as fate has brought us here tonight
Stars
shine on and signal all is well
And
the way to understand
As
far as I can tell is giving without needing in return
So
in this peace and quiet
When
I'm not scared or frightened
Oh
I'm not lost, I'm found
You
are all around me, all around me
All
around me, all around me

Song

From Lizanne
Knott: Limited Edition
They've
got a Santa down on main street - about the size of my car
A
ton of decorations on every corner bar
People
spending money til their money runs out
On
these things darlin' aren't what Christmas is about
Cause
out there in the midnight clear
Is
a chance for peace on earth this year
So
find that smile and lose those tears - Merry Christmas
Most
of my firends, they all live so far away
Too
far to see from my street, too far to drive all day
This
Christmas we'll be wishin' on the brightest star
We're
gonna be together 'cause that's the way we are
We'l
laugh and fill our hearts with cheer
We'll
vow to stay in touch next year
Yeah,
the jive will roll but oh, the spirit will be here
Merry
Christmas
Now
you know, and I know, it's Christmas
And
if good will is out there still
Oh
then bless us, bless us, bless us all
Cause
there's holes in my pockets walking throught these malls
I'm
so in the red I can not spend at all (so in the red I feel like
Santa clause)
But
I'm gonna get you everything that you asked
A
pony of your own even if she's made of glass
So
lift your hearts and give some cheer
There's
folks with less than us 'round here
The
light is on, all the lovin's right here - Merry Christmas

Ramel: Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry,
merry Christmas
From
me to you
Another
year gone by
Another
season's through
But
let's stop and be thankful
For
the blessings sent our way
For
bringing us together
On
this Christmas day
Let
us celebrate
Some
of us have grown up
Some
of us have changed
But
deep inside I know
We're
pretty much the same
Treasure
all the good times
And
I remember what we share
Hold
the memories close
Soon
I will be there
But
for now this is my prayer
I
wish you merry, merry Christmas
It's
nothing new
These
sentiments have been sung
So
many times before
But
somehow it seems different
When
it's, it's me to you
So
with my special wish
I'll
sing it one time more
Merry
Christmas, Happy New Year too

Light
a fire for me
As
the year has grown cold
And
there's somewhere
That
I should be
Home
sweet home
Sweet
home
And
the tree is all aglow
And
there's lots of bourbon
And
a little snow
This
is all we need
This
is all we know
And
it's Christmas time
And
the lights
Are
leading us back
To
this special place
And
home is home
And
the years change over
And
I haven't seen your face
Since
Christmas time
When
I sleep tonight
It
will be just like
I
was a child
With
sugar plums
And
dancing dreams tonight
Sweet
home you're the safest place
With
your holiday songs
And
familiar face
And
I know I missed you so
Sweet
home

It
Must Be Christmas Time

Nadine

When
I was just a little girl, about the age of three,
My
Mama sat me down right by the Christmas tree
We'd
sing the carols all night long of joy and peace and love
Filling
my mind with stories of Santa and angels up above
The
sweetness of my Mama's voice would soothe me right to bed
Well,
she'd take me there and tuck me in and kiss my weary head
And
as I dreamt of Christmas morn, her night had just begun
Filling
the house with spirit that comes from a mother's love
Oh,
you sing to me a lullaby, you wash my worries away
You
take the time to listen to my thoughts and all I have to say
Mama,
I have come so far since our first Christmas day
This
year I thought I'd take the time to say I love you, in a very
special way
Times
weren't always easy when Christmas came each year
But
Mama she would find a way to keep us all from tears
She'd
give about everything she had and then a little more,
Keeping
us all smiling through the night even when her soul was worn
Now
the years have passed since I've been home with Mama by my side
But
she's with me every year this time, filled with Christmas pride
And
though things have changed and I have grown, still one thing on my mind
Mama's
voice is singing, it must be Christmas time
Oh,
you sing to me a lullabye, you was my worries away
You
take the time to listen to my thoughts and all I ahve to say
Mama,
I have come so far since our first Christmas day
This
year I thought I'd take the time to say
I
love you in a very special way

White
stars falling on the ground
Dancing
softly to different tempos
Gentle
beauty all around
A
hazy shine stirs my memory
I
know I've been here before
Been
so long I can't quite remember
Wrapping
paper on the floor
And
I felt warm in December
I
never knew what life would bring
It
took me by surprise
Just
knew that you'd be here with me
And
never say goodbye
Just
somehow know that
I
will think of you
On
this Christmas night
Tell
a story by the fire
Not
the same as when you told it
Yeah,
I know it's been a while
Yet
the past keeps unfolding
Anywhere
you may be
I'm
thinking of you
No
matter how long it takes
I'll
always be wishing for you
White
stars falling on the ground
Sparkling
under the lonely street light
Feels
like you should be around
Though
you're gone, we're together

Can
you feel it in the air
Snow's
coming down and everybody's happier today
The
lights are everywhere around this town and Santa's on his way
Everybody's
singing, standing underneath the mistletoe
Checking
off the list cause everybody really wants to know
What
is waiting all wrapped up in bows beneath the Christmas tree
For
me, and so I'm singing
Merry
Christmas to ya
It's
my favorite time of year
Merry
Christmas to you
I'm
so happy that you're here
I'm
glad to be back home with all my friends
Laughing
about all the crazy things we did
Leave
or troubles all behind, worries and foes
Cuz
Old Jack Frost is nipping at your nose
Everybody's
singing, standing underneath the mistletoe
Checking
off the list cause everybody really wants to know
What
is waiting all wrapped up in bows beneath the Christmas tree
For
me, and so I'm singing
Merry
Christmas to ya
It's
my favorite time of year
Merry
Christmas to you
I'm
so happy that you're here
With
jingle bells that jingle all the way
Riding
on a one horse open sleigh
Angels
singing on this silent night

all your Christmases be white

night from evening comes

Blankets
warm the cold
Dreaming

All
of these years it still comes down to you
All
of the people dancing around the truth
Maybe
they'll come to know
Feel
it in their sold
Where

Snow
Is Falling

From
Pale Beneath The Blue: Snow Emergency
I
remember Christmas as a shadow of the past
Presents,
paper, fires, friends, it never seems to last
All
around are hearts that echo dreams like breaking glass
Like
every other day this year, it just goes by too fast
Christmas
comes alive when the snow begins to fall
Blowing,
drifting, constant coating covering it all
Hurry
get the shopping done, sing carols while you go
Make
the cookies, wrap the gifts, before it's time to go
The
snow is falling, the grass is covered
The
folks are calling, they want us there by 2:00
But
I'd be happy to be stuck in Cincinnati
And
celebrate the holidays alone this year with you
Dream
of sharing songs and memories from our youth
Lie
here in your arms all day with no excuse to move
But
endless covered rooftops are all I want to see
The
chance to spend a Christmas at home, just you and me
The
snow is falling, the grass is covered
The
folks are calling, they want us there by 3:00
But
I'd be happy to be stuck in Cincinnati
And
celebrate the holidays alone with you
Church
bells echo through the bustling streets
The
weather's taken over on TV
Looks
like we're in a snow emergency
The
snow is falling, roads are covered
Guess
that we're not going anywhere
We're
held hostage by the weather
Never
been so glad to be stuck in Ohio
The
snow is falling, the roads are covered
Guess
that we're not going anywhere
We're
held hostage by the weather
Tell
everyone, that we're staying home this year

I Am Ready
Just
like a child I hear your voice
Touching
the inside of my soul
You're
bringing me again to your throne of grace
To
your throne of grace
Nothing
I have to hide, but have a holy fear inside
For
you Lord, for you, Lord
Your
merciful arms they embrace me
They
welcome me, they say, welcome child
Welcome
child, welcome my child
Welcome
child, welcome my child
Seeing
the life you've made in me
It
makes me want to know you more
And
every time I call upon your name you come
You
come to me
No
satisfactions found, until I see your holy crown
So
mighty, so mighty and free
No
bondage holds me down, your life is what I've found
And
you say, welcome child
And
when your love pours over me
Your
strength and peace is what I receive
There's
nothing else I could ask for
But
to know you more
