Ya Viene la Vieja - Traditional Spanish, arr. Leininger
Come, my dear old lady, with a little present that you love so dearly, come give it to Jesus.
We're weaving a garland of green lemon leaves for Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.
The Kings are riding through the sandy desert, bringing to the Christ child precious treasure.
The Kings are riding through the sandy desert, bringing gifts of cakes and wine.
We're weaving a garland of green lemon leaves for Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.

Frosty the Snowman
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 children 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 children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.
Frosty, the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day, so he said “let’s run, and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away.”
Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around the square, sayin’ “catch me if you can.”
He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop. And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, “STOP”!
For Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye sayin’, “Don’t you cry, I’ll be back again some day.”
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, over the hills of snow.

For unto us a child is born,
Unto us a son is given.

Father everlasting.
Salve Regina - arr. Prinsloo
O, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
Hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we cry, Poor banished children of Eve;
To thee do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Thine eyes of mercy toward us;
And after this our exile,
Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Kennedy Garcia, Crystal Rasmussen, Tad Hart, soloists
Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Oh! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh! Jingle Bells,
Jingle Bells, jingle all the way. Oh, 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 Fannie Bright was seated by my side.
The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemed his lot, He got into a drifted bank and we, we got upsot!
Oh! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh! Jingle Bells,
Jingle Bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Now the ground is white go it while you’re young. Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bobtail bay, Two-forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You’ll take the lead!
Oh! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!

The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
A partridge in a pear tree
Two turtle doves
Three French hens
Four calling birds
Five gold rings
Six geese a-laying
Seven swans a-swimming
Eight maids a-milking
Nine ladies dancing
Ten lords a-leaping
Eleven pipers piping
Twelve drummers drumming

Of the Father’s Love Begotten - 13th Century Plainsong, arr. Wohlgemuth
Лeгeндa - Tchaikovsky
When Christ was a child, He had a garden, and many roses He grew therein...
Three times a day did He water them, For He planned to weave Himself a wreath someday.
When the roses came into full bloom, He summoned the neighbor Hebrew children;
they each plucked a flower, and the garden was bare.
"How will You weave yourself a wreath?" they asked. "Your garden has no more roses in it."
"You have forgotten that the thorns are left for me," Christ said.
And from the thorns they pleated Him a prickly wreath;
and drops of blood, instead of roses, adorned His brow.
