“C” is for the Christ Child, born upon this day;
“H” is for herald angels in the night.
“R” means our Redeemer;
“I” means Israel;
“S” is for the star that shone so bright.
“T” is for three wise men, they who travelled far.
“M” is for the manger where He lay.
“A” is for all He stands for;
“S” means shepherds came,
And that’s why there’s a Christmas Day.
“T” is for three wise men, they who travelled far.
“M” is for the manger where He lay.
“A” is for all He stands for;
“S” means shepherds came,
And that’s why there’s a Christmas Day.
And that’s why there’s a Christmas Day.

White Christmas
Vocals: Country music singer Crystal Gayle
Lyrics: Composer, songwriter and lyricist Irving Berlin
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen,
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten and children listen,
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
