The Real Meaning (original song)

Little Saint Nick - singalong

Ooh, Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Ooh, ooh

 

Well way up North where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Christmas
That you've all been told
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled

 

It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)
It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)

​

Just a little bobsled we call the old Saint Nick
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel

​

It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)
It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)

 

Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer (whoa)
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer (he don't miss no one)

 

And haulin' through the snow at a frightening speed
With a half a dozen raindeer and Rudy to lead
He's got to wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every path with a little surprise

​

It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)
It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)

 

Ooh, Merry Christmas Saint Nick
(Christmas comes this time each year)

 

Ooh, Merry Christmas Saint Nick
(Christmas comes this time each year)

 

Ooh, Merry Christmas Saint Nick
(Christmas comes this time each year)

Sleigh Ride - singalong

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you,

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling yoo hoo,

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

 

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Oooooh!
 

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we
Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

 

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Oooooh!


Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Ringa-linga-linga-ding-dong-ding!

Christmas Waltz

 

Santa Baby

​You can still singalong if you know it!

SOCKS!

(Join in with the chorus)

​

Socks! This is the worst gift I ever got!

It doesn't even beep or boop or rattle in the box,

Hey, why'd you waste the paper on a lousy pair of socks!

Holly Jolly Mash Up! - singalong

Have a holly, jolly Christmas, it's the best time of the year,

I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas, and when you walk down the street,

Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet.

​

What a bright time, it’s the right time, to rock the night away

Jingle bell time, is a swell time, to go riding on a one horse sleigh

​

Have a holly, jolly Christmas and in case you didn't hear,

Oh, by golly, have a holly, jolly Christmas this year.


Dashing through the snow,

in a one horse open sleigh,

Over the fields we go,

Laughing all the way!

Bells on Bobtails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing, a sleighing song tonight!

​

Oh! Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!

​

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 do some carolling

​

About one foggy Christmas Eve when Santa came to say (ho, ho, ho!)

Rudolph with your nose so bright, wont you guide my sleigh tonight - 

Falalalalalala

​

Have a holly jolly christmas, and a happy holiday

Everyone dancing merrily in the new old fashioned way!

​

Thumpedy thump thump, thumpedy thump thump - look at Frosty go! 

​

Thumpedy thump thump, thumpedy thump thump - over the hills of snow!

Jill Raymond is thrilled to be opening this year's festivities with her trusty ukulele and some festive classics and contemporary winter numbers for you to enjoy. In the spirit of uplifting voices and hearts, Jill would love for you to join her in the the sing-a-longs! If you'd like to know more about her you can also check out her website jillraymond.com or find her across the social media realm - but for now - enjoy some festive favourites!

if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing things you don't like doing, which is stupid.

therefore, it's so important to consider this question: What do I desire?
