C H for the Cold of the sky and the snow; for the Hearth where they hang up the hose; R I for the Reel which the old folks propose; for the Icicles seen through the pane; S T M for the Sleigh bells, with tinkling refrain; for the Tree with gifts all abloom; for the Mistletoe hung in the room; A S for the Anthems we all love to hear; for St. Nicolas – joy of the year!

Holy night

Silent night, Holy night, all is calm, All is bight.

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child, Holy Infant, so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night, Shepherds quake At the sight.

Glory streams from Heaven afar.

Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah Christ the Savoir is born Christ the Savoir is born.

Silent night, Holy night, Son of God, Love’s pure light.

Radian beams from Thy holy face.

With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O 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; He got into a drifted bank and there we got upsot

Abba - Happy New Year No more champagne And the fireworks are through Here we are, me and you Feeling lost and feeling blue It's the end of the party And the morning seems so grey So unlike yesterday Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I

Sometimes I see How the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives In the ashes of our lives Oh yes, man is a fool And he thinks he'll be okay Dragging on, feet of clay Never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway...

Seems to me now That the dreams we had before Are all dead, nothing more Than confetti on the floor It's the end of a decade In another ten years time Who can say what we'll find What lies waiting down the line In the end of eighty - nine...

The End
