Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

(Hugh Martin / Ralph Blane)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

The Jackson Five
Wanna wish everybody
A mellow Merry Christmas
And a groovy New Year

The Jackson Five
Wanna wish everybody
A mellow Merry Christmas
And a groovy New Year

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

The Christmas Song

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

You know that Santa?s on his way
He?s bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother?s child is on the spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I?m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it has been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas to you
(To you)

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
(Merry Christmas to you)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
(And you too)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
(Oh Merry Christmas to you)

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
(And you too)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
(Merry Christmas)

Up on the House Top

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for everyone's Christmas joys

Tito had just one desire
That he gets a new guitar
But he wants a guarantee that it won't play out of key

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick

(I said) ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes

Jackie's almost six feet tall
But no hot shot at basketball
Bring him a basket three feet tall
Maybe he'll play like a pro

Marlon wears his shoes so thin
He's gone through his socks again
He's always dancin' as you know
(So bring me some shoes with lots of sole)

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick

(I said) ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter, patter
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter, patter

Oh Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
Come on Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blixen
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

Did you read Santa Claus my list?
All the girls you're waiting to kiss?
Mike, that list was only a joke
Too late, Jermaine, he's bringing you mistletoe

But you just want toys and stuff
Yeah, but that's not even half enough
What I want means more than fun
What's that? love and peace for everyone

Up on the house top, reindeer stand
Waiting for that dear old man
Up to the chimney with gifts to spare
And lots of christmas joy to share

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney with old St. Nick

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney with old St. Nick

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney with old St. Nick

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney with old St. Nick

Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go?

Frosty the Snowman

Oh Frosty yeah
Oh Frosty yeah

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the kids all know how he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around, oh

Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be
And the kids all say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me

Frosty, Frosty
Frosty the Snowman, the Snowman yeah yeah yeah yeah

He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment
When he heard them holler stop stop stop

For Frosty the Snowman, had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day"

Frosty, Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty, Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman

Frosty, Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty, Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman

The Little Drummer Boy

(Katherine Davis / Henry Onorati / Harry Simeone)

Come they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum
Our new born King to see, pa-rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honour him, pa-rum pum pum pum
When we come

Baby Jesus, pa-rum pum pum pum
I'm a poor boy too, pa-rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa-rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give our King, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you, pa-rum pum pum pum
On my drum

Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum
The ox and mule kept time, pa-rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for him, pa-rum pum pum pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum pum pum pum
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then he smiled at me, pa-rum pum pum pum,
Me and my drum.

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid, Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowed
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

(chorus)
Oh, then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (hey Rudolph)
Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history
You'll go down in history
Hey Rudolph

Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph

Red-Nosed Reindeer

Christmas Wont Be the Same This Year

(Pam Sawyer / Laverne Ware)

Merry Christmas everybody!
[Jermaine:] Yeah, merry Christmas everybody. Big deal.
[Michael:] Hey, man, what's wrong with you, Jermaine?
[Jackie:] Yeah, that's no kind of attitude.
[Marlon:] This only happens once a year.
[Tito:] Hey, fellas, don't bug him. He and his girl just broke up.
So get off his back.
Can't you see there's tears in his eyes?
[All:] Yeah, he's crying, look he's crying!
Don't cry! Don't cry! Don't cry!

Christmas won't be the same this year
Without her loving arms holding you so near
Christmas won't be the same this year (no it won't, now darling)
Without her loving arms holding you so near (no no)

I see the lights but they don't shine for me
I see the presents underneath the Christmas tree
Our house is decorated, friends are clebrating

Christmas won't be the same this year (no no no)
Without her loving arms holding you so near (it won't be the same this year)
Christmas won't be the same this year (the things we used to do now darling)
Without her loving arms holding you so near (it's all over)

The neighborhood kids are having so much fun
Counting off the days till Santa Claus comes
And I see the mistletoe hanging from my door
I wish I could kiss you again like I did before.

Christmas won't be the same this year (no no, oh, oh)
Without her loving arms holding you so near (yeah yeah)
So go on, girl, and have your fun
Don't spoil your time thinking about me
This time next year, my darling dear
Hopefully you'll be having dinner with me

Christmas won't be the same this year (no no no no)
Without her loving arms holding you so near (it won't be the same)
Christmas won't be the same this year (without you darling)
Without her loving arms holding you so near (no no)

Give Love On Christmas Day

People making lists, buying special gifts,
Taking time to be kind to one and all.
It's that time of year when good friends are near,
And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store.

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas Day,
No greater gift is there than love.

People you don't know smile and nod hello,
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy.
It's that once of year when the world's sincere,
And you'd like to find a way to show the things that words can't say.

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know there's someone who cares.
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love.

What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love.

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love.

What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love

Someday at Christmas

Someday at Christmas, men won't be boys
Playin' with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December, our hearts will see
A world where men are free

Someday at Christmas, there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on Earth

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

Someday at Christmas, we'll see a land (someday at Christmas)
With no hungry children, no empty hand (someday at Christmas)
One happy morning, people will share
A world where people care, oh!

Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears (someday at Christmas)
Where all men are equal and no man have fears (someday at Christmas)
One shining moment, one prayer away
From our world today

Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmas time

Someday at Christmas, men would not have failed
Hate will be gone and love will prevail
Someday in a world that we can start with hope in every heart, oh!

Someday at Christmas, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
But someday at Christmas time
Someday at Christmas time!

Jackson 5 Christmas Album was the first Christmas album, and fourth studio album, by Motown family quintet the Jackson 5, released on October 15, 1970. Included on the Christmas Album is the Jacksons' hit single version of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town". The Jacksons' versions of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" remain frequent radio requests during the Christmas season.

The album spent four weeks at the number one position on Billboard magazine's special Christmas Albums chart that the magazine published in December 1970, making it the best-selling Christmas album of that year and also of the year 1972 in the United States.

This album was a top seller and had the potential to chart high on the US Billboard Top LPs ranking, but from 1963 to 1973, holiday albums were not allowed to chart in it. The album has been praised by music critics and has since sold over 3 million copies worldwide.

Jackson 5 Christmas Album has been hailed by many as one of the best holiday albums. AllMusic's Lindsay Planer rated Jackson 5 Christmas Album four and a half out of five stars. She stated that "they carefully crafted and significantly modernized familiar seasonal selections." She also praised all of the tracks. Joshua Alston of The A.V. Club also praised the album and said "the original songs are among its finest moments". He also said "Jackson 5 Christmas is tough to compete with because it isn't—as Christmas records so often are—an inessential brand extension or bait for discography completists. It's a potent distillation of the spirit of Christmas, an album joyful enough to make me feel like it's the most wonderful time of the year rather than merely telling me so." Rolling Stone also praised the album, calling it a "gem".
