The holiday season is upon us. Post lyrics to holiday songs here! Any holiday is allowed, so long as it happens during December.

Light One Candle (Chanukkah)

Light one candle for the Maccabee children
With thanks that their light didn't die
Light one candle for the pain they endured
When their right to exist was denied

Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice
That justice and freedom demand
Light one candle for the wisdom to know
When the peacemaker's time is at hand

Don't let the light go out
It's lasted for so many years
Don't let the light go out
Let it shine through our love and our tears

Light one candle for the strength that we need
To never become our own foe
Light one candle for those who are suffering
Pain we learned so long ago

Light one candle for all we believe in
That anger not tear us apart
Light one candle to find us together
With peace as a song in our hearts

Don't let the light go out
It's lasted for so many years
Don't let the light go out
Let it shine through our love and our tears

Don't let the light go out
It's lasted for so many years
Don't let the light go out
Let it shine through our love and our tears

What is the memory that's valued so highly
That we keep alive in that flame
What's the commitment to those who died
When we cry out "They've not died in vain!"

We have come this far always believing
That justice will somehow prevail
This is the burden, this is the promise
This is why we will not fail

Don't let the light go out
It's lasted for so many years
Don't let the light go out
Let it shine through our love and our tears

Don't let the light go out
It's lasted for so many years
Don't let the light go out
Let it shine through our love and our tears

Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out
Don't let the light go out

Are you ready children? (yes! yes! yes!)

When the snowman brings the snow
Well he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile, on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors
You know that sweet Santa Claus in on the way

Well I wish it could be Christmas, every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas, every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas

When we're skating in the park
If the snow cloud makes it dark
Then your rosy cheek's gonna light my merry way
Now the frosty paws appear
And they've frozen up my ear
So we'll lie by the fire
'til the sleet simply knocks 'em all away

Well I wish it could be Christmas, every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas, every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas

When the snowman brings the snow (when the snowman brings the snow)
Well he just might like to know (well he just might like to know)
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
So if Santa brings that sleigh (Santa brings that sleigh)
All along the Milky Way (along the Milky Way)
I'll sign my name on the rroftop in the snow
Then he may decide to stay

Well I wish it could be Christmas, every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oo-oh, I wish it could be Christmas, every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas

Okay you lot - take it!

Well, I wish it could be Christmas, every day (Christmas day)
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play (Oh-oh)
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas, every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas

Why don't you give your love for Christmas?

(when the snowman brings the snow)
(when the snowman brings the snow)
(when the snowman brings the snow)
(when the snowman brings the snow)
(when the snowman brings the snow)
(when the snowman brings the snow)

Grandma got run over by a reindeer

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa.
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog.
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd forgot her medication,
and she staggered out the door into the snow.

When we found her Christmas mornin,'
at the scene of the attack.
She had hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa.
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
(Send them back)

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table.
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
that would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbors.
"Better watch out for yourselves."
They should never give a license,
to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
(Sing it Grandpa)

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

I hate holiday music.

Being a figure skater, we are subject to hearing Christmas music for two hours nonstop every time we go skating. You start to loathe it when you hear for so long without a break.

I would bring my own music, but they turn it up too loud. =[

I hate holiday music.

me too, and all those stupid ugly lights and trees, bwugh. That combined with the fact that I have exams the whole holiday season long really makes me hate christmas and new years eve

Even Nat King Cole?

It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens...

Santa wears a red suit
He's a communist
Long hair and a beard
Must be a socialist
I can't say I quite
Remember the rest

Wooooorrrrrddddssss
