Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Have a very merry Christmas! Scatter gladness ev’rywhere! Sing the carols of the Christ child: Let your neighbors know you care.
2. Have a most exciting Christmas! Ring a bell and trim a tree; Stuff a stocking for a loved one; Hang the holly joyously.
3. Have a happy fam’ly Christmas! Gather all your loved ones near; Talk about the baby Jesus; Wrap your hearts in love this year.
