Mistletoe and Holly
by Thomas A. Daly

THE  mistletoe  is  gemmed  with  pearls,
Bed  berries  hath  the  holly.
Remember,  all  ye  modest  girls,
The  mistletoe  is  gemmed  with  pearls,
And  when  it  hangs  above  your  curls,
Away  with  melancholy!
The  mistletoe  is  gemmed  with  pearls,
Eed  berries  hath  the  holly.

Since  mistletoe  is  hard  to  find,
We  do  not  need  it,  Mollie,
O  do,  I  beg  of  you,  be  kind,  -
Since  mistletoe  is  hard  to  find,
Pretend  that  you  are  color-blind,
And  kiss  beneath  this  holly.
Since  mistletoe  is  hard  to  find,
We  do  not  need  it,  Mollie.

Chiming Christmas Bells

A Christmas Song
by Emilie Poulsson
While stars of Christmas shine,
Lighting the skies,
Let only loving looks
Beam from your eyes.
 
While bells of Christmas ring
Joyous and clear,
Speak only happy words
All mirth and cheer.
 
Give only loving gifts,
And in love take;
Gladden the poor and sad
Lor love's dear sake.

Ringing Christmas Bells

Christmas Song
by N. B. Turner
Sing, sing at Christmas time;
Bells ring; bells chime;
Candles, burn; holly glow;
Christmas is for love, you know!
Sing, sing on Christmas night;
Stars, shine still and white,
As you shone long ago-
Christmas is for love, you know!

I Am Always Very Happy 
I am always very happy
When I hear the joy-bells chime;
For each note of their sweet music
Tells me: "It is Christmas-time."
So with happy heart I carol
Tidings of my Savior's birth;
Singing: "Hallelujah!
"Peace, good-will on earth."
