Christmas Songs To Put You In The Mood

Posted by cowpiecreek | Uncategorized | Wednesday 19 November 2008 6:34 pm

I love Christmas. This time of the year, everyone is cheery, and filled with the Christmas spirit, and Christmas songs are wafting through the air. It puts me in a very cheery mood. It’s too bad Christmas only comes once a year, and people aren’t in a wonderful mood all year long. After Christmas, we all seem to revert back to our hum-drum, mundane lives, and forget the warmth of Christmas and the love associated with it. I think the worst part of Christmas is the hassle of shopping for Christmas gifts. Unfortunately, tradition dictates that we succumb to that, so we frantically rush around, trying to find the “perfect’ gift for Aunt Virginia or Uncle Robert. I usually take the hassle out of Christmas shopping by doing my Christmas shopping online. I can shop from the comfort of my home, and just wait until the Christmas gifts arrive by UPS or Federal Express, and I’m done. The stores in this post all have wonderful Christmas gifts for your shopping pleasure. Just click on the banners, and you’ll
find a whole world of awesome Christmas gifts for friends, family, neighbors, teachers, and all of the special people in your life. Before you do that, why not enjoy the lyrics of a few of my favorite Christmas songs? I guarantee you, they’ll put you in the Christmas spirit.

Jingle Bell Rock
Bobby Helms

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell rock.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
from the film Meet Me In St. Louis
Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane 1943

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 Yule-tide 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.

Rocking around the Christmas Tree
Johnny Marks

Rocking around the Christmas tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
and we’ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental
feeling when you hear
Voices singing let’s be jolly,
deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
in the new old-fashioned way.

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Words by Robert L. May (c) 1947
Music by Johnny Marks

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

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose
(like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it
(saw it)
You would even say it glows
(like a flash light)
All of the other reindeer
(reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names
(like Pinochio)
They never let poor Rudolph
(Rudolph)
Play in any reindeer games
(like Monopoly)

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
(Ho Ho Ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him
(loved him)
And they shouted out with glee
(yippee)
“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
You’ll go down in history!”
(like Columbus)

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
J. Fred Coots, Henry Gillespie (c) 1934

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;
Gonna find out Who’s naughty and 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!

O! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I’m telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Happy Birthday, Union Eight!

It’s official! Union Eight is being launched today, and we, as parents of our new arrival, are very proud to see her finally emerging into the world of t-shirts and gifts. For many months we’ve nurtured her, fed her original, healthy designs, and now we have the opportunity to watch her blossom. We couldn’t be more proud of her than we are today.

For those of you who have just stumbled across our Union Eight blog, we’ll try to fill you in on the story behind Union Eight. Several months ago, eight graphic designers, who are also friends, decided to form their own brand of t-shirts and gifts. All eight of us are graphic artists, and have worked at other POD (print-on-demand) online companies. It was at one particular POD that we all became acquainted, and eventually became friends. While working on our Union Eight project, we’ve become so close, we’re more like family now than friends, and you couldn’t tear us apart with a crowbar, which makes our Union Eight project that much more incredible. All of us actually love and respect one another and their unique abilities as graphic designers and business people.

ENTER ZAZZLE

A few months ago, the leader of our Union Eight group met with Zazzle, a prominent, up-and-coming POD company, and a marriage was born between Union Eight and Zazzle. All of us at Union Eight are very proud to become a part of the Zazzle family, and hope our relationship will be a long, and happy one. In honor of the official birth of Union Eight, in conjunction with Zazzle, Union Eight is having a three-day 2008 Holiday Sale, as a gift to our loyal customers, and also a gift to our new customers who are searching for Christmas savings this year due to the bad economy. This is our special Christmas gift to you, and we hope you’ll come back and shop with us throughout the year. The following Union Eight stores are offering major price reductions:

Christmas Is A-Comin!

HO! HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS! You might think it’s too early to be shopping for Christmas gifts, but time sneaks up on you if you shop online…and that’s how I prefer to shop.
I’d rather shop online than fight the thousands of people in the mall, believe me….and with the high price of gas, shopping online makes
more sense than ever. I ran across these really cute Christmas t-shirts while I was surfing the web last night. Christmas T-shirts and Gifts
has some of the cutest Christmas shirts I’ve seen in a long time. Check out just three of the awesome Christmas t-shirts at Christmas T-shirts and Gifts.
You won’t be sorry.
