Having had the pleasure of meeting Dick Clark some years ago, I can say that he was truly a genuine and kind man. He will be missed. R.I.P. Dick Clark (1929–2012)!

What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? - Nancy Wilson

When the bells all ring

And the horns all blow

And the couples we know are fondly kissing

Will I be with you?

Or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it’s much

Too early in the game

Aah, but I thought

I’d ask you just the same

What are you doing New Year’s

New Year’s Eve?

Wonder whose arms

Will hold you good and tight

When it’s exactly

Twelve o’clock at night

Welcoming in the New Year

New Year’s Eve

Maybe I’m crazy to suppose

I’d ever be the one you chose

Out of the thousand invitations

You received

Aah, but in case

I stand one little chance

Here comes

The jackpot question in advance

What are you doing New Year’s

New Year’s Eve?

Maybe I’m crazy to suppose

I’d ever be the one you chose

Out of the thousand invitations

You received

Aah, but in case

I stand one little chance

Here comes

The jackpot question in advance

What are you doing New Year’s

New Year’s Eve?

Believe - Josh Groban (From The Polar Express Soundtrack)

Children, sleeping.
Snow is softly falling.
Dreams are calling,
Like bells in the distance.
We were dreamers,
Not so long ago.
But one by one, we
All had to grow up.

When it seems the magic slipped away…
We find it all again on Christmas Day.

Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that’s playing.
There’s no time to waste,
There so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need, if you just believe.

Trains move quickly
To their journey’s end.
Destinations…
Are where we begin again.
Ships go sailing,
Far across the sea.
Trusting starlight,
To get where they need to be.

When it seems that we have lost our way…
We find ourselves again on Christmas Day.

Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that’s playing
There’s no time to waste,
There’s so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need, if you just believe.

If you just believe.
If you just believe.
If you just believe…just believe…just believe.

Silent Night - Michael Bublé

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus - Jackson 5

Wow! Mommy’s kissing Santa Claus!
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn’t see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep

Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

He saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus
And I’m gonna tell my Dad

Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

I did! I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus
You gotta believe me! You just gotta believe me!
Come on, fellas, believe me! You just gotta believe me!

Winter Wonderland - Bing Crosby

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say, “Are you married?”
We’ll say, “No man”
But you can do the job, when you’re in town

Later on, we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Yes, until the other kiddies knock him down

Later on,we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Silver Bells - The Ray Conniff Singers

Silver bells, Silver bells

Soon it will be Christmas Day

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in Holiday style

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells

It’s Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights

Blink a bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch

See the kids bunch

This is Santa’s big scene

And above all this bustle you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells

It’s Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Jingle Bells - Frank Sinatra

I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells

Those holiday J-I-N-G-L-E bells

Those happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E, double L-S

I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells

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

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 our spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jing-jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells

Those holiday J-I-N-G-L-E bells

Those happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E, double L-S

I love those jingle bells all the way
