Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (1971) - John Lennon & Yoko Ono

"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" is a Christmas song with lyrics by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, released in 1971 as a single by John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir. The lyrics are set to the traditional English ballad "Skewball". It was the seventh single release by Lennon outside of his work with the Beatles. The song reached number 4 in the UK, where its release was delayed until November 1972, and has periodically reemerged on the UK Singles Chart, most notably after Lennon's death in 1980, at which point it peaked at number 2. Also a protest song against the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" has since become a Christmas standard, frequently covered by other artists, appearing on compilation albums of seasonal music, and named in polls as a holiday favourite

Apple Records released "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" and "Listen, the Snow Is Falling" in America on 1 December 1971 (Apple 1842). Issued in 7" single format on transparent green vinyl with a card-stock picture sleeve, the pressing bore two label variations, one of which displayed a sequence of five images that showed Lennon's face transforming into Ono's. This sequence was originally featured on the reverse cover of the exhibition catalogue for Ono's career retrospective This Is Not Here, presented in October 1971 at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York. 

A dispute between music publisher Northern Songs and Lennon over publishing rights delayed the release of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" in the UK until 24 November 1972 (Apple R 5870).  The initial British run was issued in 7" single format on opaque green vinyl with the picture sleeve and variant label, but it sold out quickly and had to be repressed on standard black vinyl. 

The song's first album appearance was on Shaved Fish, the only compilation of Lennon's solo recordings released during his lifetime. "Happy Xmas" was coupled there with part of a live version of "Give Peace a Chance", performed as the finale of Lennon and Ono's One to One benefit concert on 30 August 1972. Designed by Roy Kohara, the album cover is composed of illustrations by Michael Bryan representing each song on the album; for "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", the image shows an aeroplane dropping a Christmas ornament instead of a bomb.

Over the years, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" has been reissued in a number of single formats by Capitol, Geffen and Parlophone/EMI, most often to promote the release of albums collecting both Lennon's and Ono's work. It is also regularly found on compilations of Christmas songs, notably those from the Now That's What I Call Music! series.[citation needed]

A rough mix produced during the first recording session on 28 October 1971 was included on the second disc of the John Lennon Anthology (1998), where it is titled "Happy Xmas

Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1949) - Gene Autry

Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a song written by Johnny Marks based on the 1939 story Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer published by the Montgomery Ward Company.

n 1939 Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May, created the character Rudolph as an assignment for Montgomery Ward, and Marks decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into a song. Marks (1909–1985) was a radio producer who also wrote several other popular Christmas songs.

The song had an added introduction, paraphrasing the poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" (public domain by the time the song was written), stating the names of the eight reindeer which went:

"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?"

The song was sung commercially by crooner Harry Brannon on New York City radio in early November 1949,[citation needed] before Gene Autry's recording hit No. 1 in the U.S. charts the week of Christmas 1949. Autry's version of the song also holds the distinction of being the only chart-topping hit to fall completely off the chart after reaching No. 1. The official date of its No. 1 status was for the week ending January 7, 1950, making it the first No. 1 song of the 1950s. 

The song was also performed on the December 6, 1949, Fibber McGee and Molly radio broadcast by Teeny (Marion Jordan's little girl character) and The Kingsmen vocal group. The lyrics varied greatly from the Autry version.[citation needed]

Autry's recording sold 1.75 million copies its first Christmas season, eventually selling a total of 12.5 million. Cover versions included, sales exceed 150 million copies, second only to Bing Crosby's "White Christmas".

Miss Kita Kung Christmas (1978) Susan Fuentes

Ang Disyembre ko 

ay malungkot

‘pagkat miss kita

Anumang pilit kong magsaya

miss kita kung Christmas

Kahit nasaan ako

papaling-paling ng tingin

walang tulad mo

Ang nakapagtataka’y

maraming nakahihigit sa iyo

Hinahanap-hanap pa rin kita

Ewan ko kung bakit ba

ako’y iniwan mong nag-iisa

Miss kita, o giliw

Pasko’y sasapit

‘di ko mapigil ang mangulila

Hirap niyang 

mayroon ka nang iba…

Instrumental

Hinahanap-hanap pa rin kita

Ewan ko kung bakit ba

mayroon ka nang iba…

Tinapay at Keso (1991)

Silent Night (1818) Franz Xaver Gruber

Halfway through December 1818, the church organ in St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, 11 miles north of Salzburg in what is now Austria, broke (a popular version of the story claims that mice had eaten out the bellows). The curate, 26-year-old Josef Mohr, realized it couldn't be repaired in time to provide music on Christmas Eve. He told his troubles to his friend, a headmaster and amateur composer named Franz Gruber, while giving him as a present a poem he had written two years earlier. Gruber was so taken by the rhythm of the poem that he set it to music, and on Christmas Eve there was music after all. Mohr played his guitar while the pair sang the song. It was the first public performance of "Stille Nacht" or as we know it "Silent Night."

It is believed that the carol has been translated into over 300 languages around the world, and it is one of the most popular carols of all time.

Bing Crosby's version became his best-seller of the 1930s.

Music licensing company PPL announced in December 2010 that this carol tops the list of Britain's "most recorded Christmas song of all time." Said Mike Dalby, Lead Reporting Analyst at PPL: "Silent Night is a beautiful carol which encapsulates the feeling of Christmas entirely. Everyone from punk band The Dickies right through to Sinead O'Connor has recorded it, which exemplifies just how much it resonates with all different types of artists."

According to PPL, Sinead O'Connor's 1991 recording was the most popular version of the carol in Britain.

When the organ builder finally did show up to repair the St. Nicholas organ, he was given a copy of the "Silent Night" composition and brought it home. From there, traveling folk singers got a hold of it and began incorporating the carol into their repertoire. It didn't make its way to America until 1839.

As the song gained traction throughout Europe, Franz Gruber composed several different orchestral arrangements. He donated all profits from the carol to local charities for children and the elderly, and eventually died penniless.

According to Steve Sullivan's Encyclopedia of Great Popular Song Recordings, Crosby, a devout Catholic, refused to record the religious song, arguing it would be "like cashing in on the church or the Bible." Crosby met with Father Richard Ranaghan, a priest trying to raise money for overseas missions, and decided to donate the royalties to the cause. But Ranaghan died in a car accident later that year, so the money went to several charities throughout the US and abroad

"Silent Night" (German: Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht) is a popular Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr in the small town of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria. It was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011.

The song has been recorded by a large number of singers from every music genre. The version sung by Bing Crosby is the third best-selling single of all-time.

The song was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire on the Salzach river in present-day Austria. A young priest, Father Joseph Mohr, had come to Oberndorf the year before. He had already written the lyrics of the song "Stille Nacht" in 1816 at Mariapfarr, the hometown of his father in the Salzburg Lungau region, where Joseph had worked as a co-adjutor.

The melody was composed by Franz Xaver Gruber, schoolmaster and organist in the nearby village of Arnsdorf. Before Christmas Eve, Mohr brought the words to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for the church service. Both performed the carol during the mass on the night of December 24.

The original manuscript has been lost. However, a manuscript was discovered in 1995 in Mohr's handwriting and dated by researchers at c. 1820. It shows that Mohr wrote the words in 1816 when he was assigned to a pilgrim church in Mariapfarr, Austria, and shows that the music was composed by Gruber in 1818. This is the earliest manuscript that exists and the only one in Mohr's handwriting.

Mary's Boy Child (1956) - Harry Belafonte

Originally, this was a West Indian song written by Jester Hairston, a Julliard-trained songwriter who would later popularize the spiritual "Amen" during the civil rights movement in the United States. The song tells the story of the birth of Jesus. >>

When this reached #1, Harry Belafonte became the first black male to have a #1 in the UK. It was the first ever song to sell 1 million copies in the UK, and the first ever British #1 record to have a playing time of more than four minutes (4:12).

This stayed at #1 in the UK for 7 weeks before becoming the only song to drop from #1 straight out of Top 10 the following week. After Christmas it tumbled from #1 to #12. The song returned to the charts the next 2 years at Christmas, going to #10 in 1958 and #30 in 1959.

During the Christmas season of 1978, Boney M. returned the song to the top of the British charts with the melody "Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord." According to Boney M. member Marcia Barrett in the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, "I always thought of Boney M. as being put together by a spiritual force and we liked doing spiritual songs. When we did Mary's Boy Child, we added a bit spontaneously at the end. As it worked, we left it in." Hence the record was listed as a medley of "Mary's Boy Child" and "Oh My Lord." >>

At the end of 2007, Boney M's medley of this song and "Oh My Lord" was the 10th top selling single of all time in the UK. In addition Boney M's version of "River's Of Babylon" was at that date the fifth top selling single of all time in the UK, making them the only act to have 2 singles in the UK all-time Top 10 best sellers list.

Jingle Bells (1857) - James Lord Pierport

Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sungAmerican songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. It has been claimed that it was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir; however, historians dispute this, stating that it was much too "racy" (and secular) to be sung by a children's church choir in the days it was written.  Although not originally intended on having any connection to Christmas, it later became associated with Christmas music and the season in general

The words and music for this Christmas classic were written by James S. Pierpont, a popular American composer in 1857, with the title of "One Horse Open Sleigh."

Pierpont was a member of a staunch Unitarian Church family, and his father was a minister. It was originally written for a local Sunday school entertainment on Thanksgiving Day in Savannah, Georgia. Its catchy tune was soon taken up by Christmas revelers.

You probably know the chorus and the first verse of this song ("Dashing through the snow..."), but three more verses were published.

The song is typically sung with just the opening chorus, first verse, and one last chorus, making it a tidy tune for children.

The ensuing verses flesh out more of the story, but as attention spans diminished, they got truncated. The second verse finds our sleigh rider picking up a girl and heading for adventure:

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

We got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot

In the third verse, the rider falls out of his sleigh and is laughed at by a passer-by. In most popular recordings of the song this one is omitted:

A day or two ago,

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow,

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie,

But quickly drove away.

The fourth verse seems to be encouraging some kind of sleigh drag race:

Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young

Take the girls to night

And sing this sleighing song

Just get a bob-tailed bay

Two forty as his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack, you'll take the lead

Some of the many artists to record this song include Jim Reeves, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Lawrence Welk, Andy Williams, Michael W. Smith and Kimberley Locke. The only charting version of this song came in 1958 when Perry Como took it to #74 in the US.

One of the more unusual versions is by The Singing Dogs, which was created by a Danish man named Don Charles and featured four dogs barking out the tune. It was originally released in 1955 as a medley with "Pat-A-Cake" and "Three Blind Mice," but in 1970 the song got some attention and was re-released with just "Jingle Bells."

This was the first song played in space. On December 16, 1965, astronauts Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford were aboard Gemini 6 when they played this on a harmonica and bells to Mission Control. Both instruments are displayed at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. >>

An unusual instrumental version of this song called "Twistin' Bells" made #49 US for Santo & Johnny in 1960. The title was designed to capitalize on the twist craze, but it was really more of a surf version featuring a steel guitar.

Every December, an old battle known as "The Jingle Bell Wars" rages on. The folks of Medford, Massachusetts, claim their town is the real birthplace of the famous holiday tune, as Pierpont was still living there in 1850 when it was allegedly written at the local Simpson Tavern. This isn't a battle the South is prepared to lose: Savannah's tourism guide maintains "Jingle Bells" was penned in the very church it premiered. That doesn't stop Medford from holding an annual Jingle Bell Festival or dubbing itself "The Jingle Bell City."

"We take full ownership of it," says Medford Mayor Stephanie M. Burke in 2016. "It's got a long history, and we're proud of it."

Mark Steyn, author of A Song For The Season, doesn't buy the whole Sunday School theory in the song's accepted history. "I'm willing to believe that at Thanksgiving a young man's fancy turns to snow," he writes. "But no Massachusetts Sunday School is going to teach its charges a song whose lyrical preoccupations are racing, gambling and courting." He adds: "It seems easier to take James Pierpont at his word. He wrote 'Jingle Bells' not as a Sunday School song but as a 'sleighing song.'"

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bob tail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

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.

Although less well-known than the opening, the remaining verses depict high-speed youthful fun. In the second verse, the narrator takes a ride with a girl and loses control of the sleigh:

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon, Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side,

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

He got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot.

In the next verse (which is often skipped), he falls out of the sleigh and a rival laughs at him:

A day or two ago,

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow,

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie,

But quickly drove away.

|: chorus :|

In the last verse, after relating his experience, he gives equestrian advice to a friend to pick up some girls, find a faster horse, and take off at full speed:

Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls tonight

and sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bobtailed bay

Two forty as his speed[b]

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.

|: chorus :|

Notes to lyrics

Jump up ^ Upsot is an alternative poetic version of upset. (drunkard).

Jump up ^ Two forty refers to a mile in two minutes and forty seconds at the trot, or 22.5 miles per hour. This is a good speed, and suggests the horse should be a Standardbred.

Original lyrics[edit]

The two first stanzas and chorus of the original 1857 lyrics differed slightly from those we know today. It is unknown who replaced the words with those of the modern version.[8]

Dashing thro' the snow,

In a one-horse open sleigh,

O'er the hills we go,

Laughing all the way;

Bells on bob tail ring,

Making spirits bright,

Oh what sport to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

|: chorus :|

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way;

Oh! what joy it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago

I tho't 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.

At kaming lahat nagtipon-tipon sa aming mumunting plaza

Pinaplano kung magkano ang dapat na maging suweldo

Kung susuyurin lang lahat ng mayayamang tao sa dungalo

Paranaque so katulad ng dati kami-kami ay nangaroling

Dala-dala namin gitara ni Ipe na kulang sa guitar string

Nang pagpasok namin sa Santa Monica at bago dumating sa kanto

So lakas loob kaming lumakad iniingatan ang aming poise

Sikat na sikat at center of attraction Andrew E. and the boys

So nang kami ay paalis na upang humanap ng ibang bahay

Kami ay nanginginig at pawis na pawis at lahat ay hindi mapalagay

Paano ba naman sa aming harapan "oh my God" ang tatalas ng ngipin

Mga aso ay naglalaway and feeling ko kami'y lalapain

Oh yeah pump it up pump it up

But you know what, what's the name of this song? kagat ng aso

Oh yeah that's the way to do it

Yo we can do it one more time

But you know what Im-a get some real funky lyric

But before we forget, what's the name of this song? kagat ng aso

Ganoon talaga ang buhay pag talagang minamalas

Nang ako'y tumakbo naiwan ko relo at tsaka tsinelas (sayang)

Gusto ko sanang balikan ngunit iisa ang aking napansin

Aking napuna nanlilisik na mata at naglalakihang ngipin (oooh)

Kaya't ang inyong lingkod Andrew E. hu hu hu walang magawa

Pagka't tumatakbo biglang natalisod kawawang bata nadapa (hahaha)

Padating na sa amin ang aso kaya't ang Andrew mangiyak-ngiyak

Gasgas ang tuhod tumingin sa likod and guess what you know ako'y shock

Uh oh si Ipe napapasigaw (saklolo!)

Too bad ang malas ni Ipe siya ang nahuli so swerte kaming tatlo

Kay bilis ng mga pangyayari di ko na namalayan ang lahat

Biruin mo sa aming apat si Ipe pa ang nakagat

So umuwi kaming apat at lahat umuwi sabay-sabay

Inaasahan isang taong sermon mula sa kanyang nanay

Kaya ang pangangaroling di ko na uulitin please

Para di magkaroon ng kagat ng aso a-at atsaka rabies

Ang Bango ng Pasko (Sarah Geronimo)

Paano kita mapasasalamatan
Ang bango ng Pasko ay walang katumbas
Parang lumang pagbati na 'di kumukupas
Parang bagong damit kay linis, kay puti
Hindi pa nakaranas ng mantas at dumi

Ang bango ng Pasko, regalong hatid
Ang ihip ng pag-asa tuwing Disyembre
Ang bango ng Pasko, langhapin ang sarap
Pag kasamang pamilya, walang katumbas
Ang bango ng Pasko ay walang katumbas

Ang bango ng Pasko ay walang singsaya
Tamis ng halakhakan sa biyayang dala
Ang bango ng Pasko ay walang singsarap
Simoy ng Pag-ibig at Pagkakaisa

Ang bango ng Pasko, biyayang hatid
Ang ihip ng pag-asa tuwing Disyembre
Ang bango ng Pasko, langhapin ang sarap
Pag kasamang pamilya, walang katumbas
Ang bango ng Pasko sana lahat makatanggap

The Twelve Days of Christmas (1780)

The Twelve Days of Christmas" is an English Christmas carol that enumerates in the manner of a cumulative song a series of increasingly grand gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas (the twelve days after Christmas). The song, published in England in 1780 without music as a chant or rhyme, is thought to be French in origin.[1] "The Twelve Days of Christmas" has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 68. The tunes of collected versions vary. The standard tune now associated with it is derived from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer Frederic Austin, who first introduced the now familiar prolongation of the verse "five gold rings".

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a cumulative song, meaning that each verse is built on top of the previous verses. There are twelve verses, each describing a gift given by "my true love" on one of the twelve days of Christmas. There are many variations in the lyrics. The lyrics given here are from Frederic Austin's 1909 publication that first established the current form of the carol.
The first three verses run, in full, as follows:
