PRAIRIE CHRISTMAS
Freezing rain on city streets and tinny carols at the mall
Plastic stars and honking cars, I want to chuck it all
I just want a prairie Christmas give me cold and snowy white
I long to see that big old sky and stars that shine so bright
LEt me hear those christmas carols sung by those that I hold dear
All I want’s a merry prairie CHristmas this year
I can’t wait to step outside
and feel the wind chill factor
Drifting snow and mistletoe
where red lights decorate a Tractor
Chorus
Christmas drinks and curling rinks
where you play if you are able
Plugged in cars nanaimo bars
Playing cards around the Christmas table
Chorus
I want to drive a road that’s just be plowed
Greet the old familiar crowd
Get them dancing shake the floor
See my mom tear up when i walk through the door
Chorus

ISLAND SANTA
Connie Kaldor
C G
Christmas on the Island
Am Em
What a lovely place to be
F C
No snow for Santa’s sleigh though
F G
Only sand and sea
C G Am Em
But the children have a Santa of their very own
F C F G C
He lives on a secret Island in the temperate zone
Chorus
G
And they fill up Santa’s little red boat
G
Pulled by sea horses instead of reindeer
G
And they get that little reggae band
F C
Playing on the deck
F C F G C
Singing Alleluia be of good cheer
F
They’re singing Alle
C
They’re singing Alle
F C F G C
They’re singing Alleluia be of good cheer
The week before Christmas all the mermaids go
to every ship far and near
Saying “give me a toy for some Island girl or boy
And you will have luck all next year”
Chorus
Christmas Eve when Island kids are lying in their beds
And they think they hear a reggae band down the beach way
It’s the Island Santa in this little boat of red
Bringing them toys on Christmas day

IT WOULDN'T BE CHRISTMAS

IT WOULDN’T BE CHRISTMAS
It wouldn’t be Christmas without you
I just couldn’t feel merry and bright
All the tinsel and Santas and reindeer and snow
Can’t make it a magical night
ANd loneliness has a new meaning
on the happiest night of the year
And though Silent Night brings an ache to my heart
It’s not Christmas if you’re not here
Sure I could string a few lights
Even put up a tree
But who can sing carols
Without harmony
It wouldn’t be Christmas without you
I just couldn’t feel merry and bright
All the tinsel and Santas and reindeer and snow
Can’t make it a magical night
And loneliness has a new meaning
on the happiest night of the year
And though Silent Night brings an ache to my heart
It’s not Christmas if you’re not here
You say we’re both broke
So you’ll stay on out there e
But if it takes my last dollar
I’ll find you the far
It wouldn’t be Christmas (etc)

COWBOY CHRISTMAS C.Kaldor©word of mouth music
Christmas can be lonely for the cowboy
The nearest neighbour is miles away
But if the night is clear you put a jingle in the harness and hitch old Nelly to the one horse sleigh
and sing me
Chorus
Ki ai yippie yippie ai yippie ay
Wish me well if you are able
Ki ai yippie yippie ai yippie ay
Remember that our saviour was born in a stable
Ki ai yippie yippie ai yippie ay
and wish a cowboy merry Christmas
Now when Mary and Joseph came into the city
THe rich folks didnt have room for them to stay
So Mary had her baby in a lowly stable
Cattle and Horses wouldn’t turn the Lord away
so sing me
Chorus
There’s some that turn their noses up at Cowboys
We’re rowdy and we’re scruffy we’re not high society
BUt remember that the Angels
Chose to sing for shepherds
And shepherds were the cowboys of Galilee
so sing me
Chorus

WARM IN HERE C.Kaldor©word of mouth music
Come in stomp your boots
Shake off all that snow
THe room is filling up with everyone you know
YOu’ve been working way too hard
Always on the go
They say its going down tonight to 20 below
We’ve got hot cider with a shot of Christmas cheer
CHorus
It’s cold out there. Cold Cold Cold
It’s cold out there but baby it’s
Warm in here
We’ve decorated a Christmas tree
With ornaments that break
We’ve lots to eat, most of it’s sweet, we’Ve got last years Christmas cake
We’ve got rum and Eggnog
We’re going to put those two together
We will do our best to break this winter weather.
Right or wrong there’s a sing-a-long
We’re playing it by ear
Chorus
Its snowing outside there’s no sign of it stoppin’
Take a break, who needs all that shoppin’
Good things happen when friends drop in
We haven’t laughed like this since the same time last year
ITs cold out there cold cold cold
It’s cold out there but baby its
Warm in here
Someone’s playing trumpet dressed like a reindeer.
It’s cold out there. Cold cold cold
It’s cold out there but baby it’s warm in here
We’ve short bread dipped in chocolate
Come on, Make it disappear
It’s cold out there but baby its
Warm in here
Someone’s brought fake mistletoe and
Her Intention is clear
Its cold out there but baby it’s
Warm in Here.

STUFF MY STOCKING BABY C Kaldor © word of mouth music
Do you want to stuff my stocking baby
I’ll take all you’ve got
It doesn’t have to be a candy cane
As long as it is hot
Ive been waiting to see under my tree
Something that tis meant for me
Do you want to stuff my stocking baby
With something Christmas night
Ill be stuffing your stocking baby
It’s that time of year
All the good things that Christmas brings
You can unwrap right here
You”ll be begging for more
Of what I have in store
I’ll be hanging a wreath on your front door
Ill be stuffing your stocking baby with something Christmas night
you want to stuff my stocking baby
That’s my Christmas wish
All of that Candy might be dandy
But you’re my kind of dish
Light up the fire Light up the tree
And after that you can light up me
Do you want to stuff my stocking baby with something Christmas night
I’ll be stuffing your stocking baby
With everything you like
something much better than all those toys or a brand new bike
I’ll let you ride on my one horse sleigh
I’ll jingle your bells til Christmas day
Ill be stuffing your stocking baby
With Something Christmas night
Santa 1 Do you want to stuff my stocking baby
Santa 2 you don’t have to ask me twice
Have you been good
Santa 1 Whenever I could but
Sometimes naughty’s nice
Santa 2 It’s getting late
Santa 1 And i can hardly wait
Will there be more than shortbread on the plate
Together you want to stuff my stocking baby with something Christmas Night à
THe Fire’s gone down and you’re still hanging around
Is Santa Claus the only one that’s coming to town
Do you want to stuff my stocking baby
With something Christmas night

WE’RE GONNA SING C. Kaldor ©word of mouth music
When you see us coming up the walk
Better run and open the door
Keep the shortbread on the plate
Have the eggnog ready to pour
And get your voices ready
you’re gonna want to sing along
When you hear those neighbourhood carollers
And your favourite Christmas Song
Chorus
We’re gonna sing Joy to the world
We’re gonna sing Hark the Herald
We’re gonna sing Deck the Halls
And it Came upon a Midnight Clear
We’re gonna sing every Christmas carol
That we can remember
We’re gonna end with a Merry Christmas
ANd a happy New Year
Some of us can sing in tune
The others sing loud and clear
We’ve got a version of We Three Kings
That you really have to hear
Chorus
Bless the house that has welcomed us
And shared its Christmas cheer
Joy to all of the hearts within
And all throughout the year
Good luck to all of us carollers
As down the road we go
May we be warmed by the toddy
And the joys of the mistletoe

Dans le silence de la nuit
Un sauveur pour nous vient de naître
Quoique dans un sombre réduit
Vous ne pouvez le méconnaître
L'Enfant des enfants, le plus beau
Vous appelle avec allégresse
À son berceau, à son berceau
Portez les dons de la tendresse
À son berceau, à son berceau
Portez les dons de la tendresse
Pour le Salut du genre humain
Il naît d'une vierge féconde
L'effet de son pouvoir divin
Est de donner la vie au monde
L'Enfant des enfants, le plus beau
Vous appelle avec allégresse
À son berceau, à son berceau
Portez les dons de la tendresse
À son berceau, à son berceau
Portez les dons de la tendresse

LIGHT THE CANDLES
03:26

|
It’s snowing outside its drifting in the door
There’s not much left of this year any more
Most are staying home weathering the storm
I am cutting cookies while the kitchen’s getting warm
And its Christmas eve there’s shortbread and Tortiere
And all our fancy dishes just not as many chairs
Still
I will light the candles on my Christmas table
its the time of year we need a little light
I will light the candles on my Christmas table
Theres one for everyone I love that can’t be here tonight
Il pour myself an eggnog, call you on the screen
Its not perfect but it will have to do
We can wish each other merry Christmas
and close with that old favourite I love you
Its Christmas eve and we’re all dressed up
so we’ll count our many blessings and fill our little cup
I will light the candles on my Christmas table
Its the time of year we need a little light
I will light the candles on my Christmas Table
There’s one for every one I love that cant be hear tonight
Let the snow fall down and blanket everything
Its Christmas eve and we will sing
Silent night
