Christmas Time of the Year By Bruce Bergh Snowflakes falling white on the ground The big fat man is coming to town Shoppers scurrying all around It’s that Christmas time of the year! Christmas lights are twinkling at night Jingle bells are tinkling in flight All in all, it’s a wonderful sight It’s that Christmas time of the year! Snowmen dance, reindeer shine, Scrooge is happy, the Grinch is kind, An open sleigh with your hand in mine- Laughin’ all the way! Making angels in the snow Warming by the fire’s glow Kissin' ‘neath the mistletoe It’s that Christmas time of the year! Instrumental Cars are buried in snow on the street Freezing nose and fingers and feet Slapped in the face with wind and sleet It’s that Christmas time of the year! Been shoveling out my drive all day The sun is gone, and it’s cold and grey Need a tropical place to get away and play It’s that Christmas time of the year! It’s that Christmas time. Hear the church bells chime It’s that Christmas time, The Christmas time of the year! ©2010 by Bruce Bergh

Jimmy’s Housetop by Bruce Bergh It’s Christmas Eve, I can’t sleep. I’m lying in my bed A hundred million thoughts appear, just dancing in my head So, I decide to get up for something warm to drink. Then, all at once I see a sight while at the kitchen sink. Across the street, at Jimmy’s house, I cant believe my eyes A UFO with jingling sounds comes flying from the skies Finally, I make out the image of a sled Pulled by flying reindeer with a driver dressed in red. I know I saw this guy before, down at the local mall His long white beard and stocky build was easy to recall They said his name was Santa, I thought he was a goof. But, he was ‘bout to prove me wrong by landing on Jim’s roof… Upon Jimmy’s housetop his reindeer stall And out jumps the fat guy from the mall Down through the chimney with lots of toys For Jimmy’s three kids, one girl and two boys Ho ho ho, What do you know? Ho ho ho, look at him go! Then, up through the chimney, click click clink On to the next house, lickity split Next comes the house of Miss Bambi Dole She’s been bad, so she gets some coal Picked up twice by police patrol ‘Heard she requested a new stripper’s pole Ho ho ho, none of my biz Ho ho ho, that’s what she is On go the handcuffs, clickity click Off to the jailhouse, no more tricks Next house, to the next house… From one house to another I saw him fly He covered our block in the wink of an eye Watching him work made me realize The way he spread joy, I can do likewise Ho ho ho, spread Christmas cheer Ho ho ho, do it all year Be kind to your neighbors, make your friendships strong If we all do, we’ll all get along Ho ho ho, spread Christmas cheer Ho ho ho, do it all year Be kind to your neighbors, try to get along Now this is the end of my little song © 2013 by Rednose Record Publishing

Christmas Together By Bruce Bergh Sun is getting low in the sky And somewhere in the world I know that you’ve closed your eyes Tightly tucked in, bundled up so cozy and warm, But I won’t see you ‘til Christmas Though it’s still September, amber leaves start to fall And Old Man Winter soon will give us a call Though it’s early, I’m all ready The stage has been set for a Christmas together. A jingle jolly white horse-drawn ride A woolen blanket with you by my side A fire-side party making fancy bows With warm hot cocoa and some mistletoe The white dust on the mountain means that warm weather’s through But there’s a glow in my heart because I’m thinking of you Wrapped in your arms, I want to be, than no place on earth For a Christmas together. Every day I wish that I could see your face, Your glowing smile by candlelight The kids all gathered by the tree That would be the greatest Christmas gift for me I’ll miss you in October when you give out all your treats In November I’ll give thanks for you when sitting down to eat Mid December, I’ll be ready. My bags will be packed for a Christmas together. Come December, can’t wait to see you, My heart longs for a Christmas together. ©2011 by Bruce Bergh

The Christmas Lamb Written by Bruce Bergh There was no Christmas tree that night, there wasn’t any snow All there was, was a baby boy, dressed in ragged clothes There were no shoppers buying gifts to put beneath their tree That night God sent His son to earth so all men might be free. His name was Jesus. In a stable He laid. The Lamb of God for all mankind has come to earth today There were no carols being sung, no Santa in the sky But angels proclaimed God’s good news to shepherds from on high Wise men brought Him presents. Myrrh, Frankincense and & Gold For in return He offers a gift of life untold Creator of the universe, born flesh and blood for me To pay the price and wash away my sins at Calvary Now I rejoice and celebrate the birthday of my King I join the choir of heavenly hosts of angels as they sing We celebrate Jesus. It’s His holiday. The Lamb of God for all mankind has come to earth today © 1983 by Bruce Bergh under the Holiday Collection © 2011 by Bruce Bergh under the ‘Tis The Season Album
