Songs that we remember singing at Christmastime

Yorkie suggested "Christmas Is Coming, The Geese Are Getting Fat"

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat. Please to put a penny in the old man's hat. If you haven't got a penny then a hapenny will do, If you haven't got a hapenny then God bless you. God ble you, gentlemen; God bless you, If you haven't got a hapenny then God bless you.

The Holly and the Ivy

The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. O the rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flower; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Savior. The holly bears a berry As red as any blood; Any Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good. The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas day in the morn. The holly bears a bark As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all. The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown.

Here We Come a'caroling (England)

Here we come a-caroling Among the leaves so green, Here we come a wand'ring, So fair to be seen. Chorus: Love and joy come to you, And to your wassail too And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year, And God send you a Happy New Year. We are not daily beggars Who beg from door to door, But we are neighbors' children, Whom you have seen before. repeat chorus
