Let’s get Christmassy!

The Faith Song

We wish you a merry Christmas,

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy new year.

Good tidings we bring,

to you and your kin.

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy new year!

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding.

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding

And a good cup of cheer!

We won’t go until we get some.

We won’t go until we get some

So bring some right here!

We all like our figgy pudding,

With all it’s good cheer!

We wish you a merry Christmas,

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy new year.

What IS figgy pudding?

Well, it’s a very traditional Christmas Pudding made from lots of different dried fruits and nuts…and…

it doesn’t always have figs in it!

Traditionally Christmas Pudding is made a few months in advance and then hung somewhere dry and cool to mature.

Here we can see Jamie Oliver make one for eating straight away.

Although,

of course,

he first has to set fire to it!!

Oh Denneboom

Oh, denneboom,

Wat zijn je takken wonderschoon.

Ik heb je laatst in’t bos zien staan…

Toen zaten er geen kaarsjes aan.

Oh, denneboom,

Wat zijn je takken wonderschoon.

Oh, denneboom,

Hoe fris zijn steeds je kleuren.

Niet groen alleen in zomerpracht,

Maar ook in koude winternacht.

Oh, denneboom,

Hoe fris zijn steeds je kleuren.

All I Want for Christmas Is You

Mariah Carey

All I Want for Christmas Is You

Mariah Carey

I just can’t wait

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
You, baby

Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow
And I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

‘Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Cause baby all I want for Christmas is you
You

Oh-ho, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won’t you bring me the one I really need?
Won’t you please bring my baby to me?
Yeah

Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m asking for
I just wanna see my baby (Yeahhh)
Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want you for my own

For my own
Baby

More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true

Baby all I want for Christmas is
You baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby

Deck the Halls

Deck The Halls

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPCXMTnO2Yw

[Verse 1]
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
‘Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la[Verse 2]
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la[Verse 3]
Fast away the old year passes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Hail the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sing we joyous, all together
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
