Each year, millions of people around the world celebrate Christmas and may feel inspired to sing a Christmas carol. But at some point (while filled with Christmas spirit and singing confidence), it will happen….
You will forget the words to a popular Christmas song.
Don’t feel bad. There are just too many to remember.
So, in an effort to keep everyone in good cheer (and not have the music go from, “La La La La (awkward silence) La La La La,”) we are sharing the lyrics to some of your favorites.
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
Do you remember all the reindeer names? Me neither. Here you go.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and BlitzenBut do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowsAll of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer gamesThen one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say“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”

Little Drummer Boy
It is a song about humility and generosity and demonstrates the true spirit of Christmas. And yet for the life of me I can never remember the right words. So the next time this one comes on the radio, join in with confidence.

Santa Claus is coming to Town
It always feels like i know the lyrics and then I sing along and it doesn’t rhyme.
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice
He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Repeat Chorus
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Silent Night
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peaceSilent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is bornSilent night, holy night!
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature singJoy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joyNo more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is foundHe rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
Deck the Halls
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-laSee 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-laFast 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
