Listen to Christmas songs/carols

! ! !

! !

! 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

Winter Wonderland!

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.

Let it snow !
! ! ! !

Oh the weather outside is frightful, ! But the fire is so delightful,! And since we've no place to go,! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!!

!
! ! ! !

It doesn't show signs of stopping,! And I've bought some corn for popping,! The lights are turned way down low,! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!!

!
! ! ! !

When we finally kiss goodnight,! How I'll hate going out in the storm!! But if you'll really hold me tight,! All the way home I'll be warm.!

The fire is slowly dying,! And, my dear, we're still good-bying,! But as long as you love me so,! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
