Celebration of the birth of Christ
He who is the Savior
Resting in a manger, in a bed of hay
In the light of the Christmas star shining above, showing the way
Shepherds and kings all followed the light to pay tribute to Him
To leave gifts at his feet and acknowledge their King
Mary’s son, and the Son of God
A man, too, and mortal, able to die for our sins, and so
Save us from ourselves, and grant us eternal life and light

Journeying to Bethlehem, a long and tiring trek
Every bed was full that night, no matter where they checked
Stable is empty, someone said, a place to lay your head
Until a baby was born in there, a manger for a bed
Someone special and holy, the angels all said

Christened Emmanuel, a name chosen by God
How noble for one born in a situation so odd
Remembered now in prayers and churches all around the world
Immortalized in stories and songs learned by every boy and girl
Sacrificed upon the cross to forgive us all our sins
The Son of God who was born for us, who died and was born again

3. Why It Is

Though the presents are shiny and the paper is bright
And it is hard to wait through the long and cold night
To open them all the very next day
And bring out the wonderful new toys to play
It is important that we all remember
Why it is we give gifts at the end of December
Why it is we all gather and joyously sing:
To celebrate the birth of our Savior and King

The first day of Christmas,

My true love sent to me

A partridge in a pear tree.

The second day of Christmas,

My true love sent to me

Two turtle doves, and

A partridge in a pear tree.

The third day of Christmas,

My true love sent to me

Three French hens,

Two turtle doves, and

A partridge in a pear tree.

The fourth day of Christmas,

My true love sent to me

Four colly birds,

Three French hens,

Two turtle doves, and

A partridge in a pear tree.

The fifth day of Christmas,

My true love sent to me

Five gold rings,

Four colly birds,

Three French hens,

Two turtle doves, and

A partridge in a pear tree.

Writing A Letter To Santa

I'm writing a letter to Santa,
To tell him I've been oh-so-good.
I've been such a sweet little angel,
And done all the things I should.

Well, maybe not quite all the things I should,
Like doing my homework after school.
And there may have a time or two,
Where I broke the Golden Rule.

There's that time I smashed the window,
'Cause I was playing ball inside.
I knew my mom would be mad,
So I ran away to hide.

Ziemassvētku eglītes zaros

Mirdz cerības svecīšu galos.

Lai katra sirdi sasilda

Šī mazā sveču liesmiņa!

With a Christmas tree, a new year begins for us,
All the flames burn happy and bright,
And Sala's dad asks to apply,
Who will chant poems and sing fun songs.

Katru gadu tuvojoties svētkiem, var būt jautri izdomāt jaunus veidus, kā jūsu ģimenei izveidot svētku ģimenes tradīcijas. Rotāšana var kļūt par ģimenes lietu, kad visi kopā pavadīsiet vakaru, apgriežot eglīti. Vai vēl labāk, pagatavojiet partiju glītu piparkūku vīriešu un sieviešu vai savu slaveno cukura cepumu recepti un pavadiet sestdienu ar lipīgiem pirkstiem, dekorējot cepumus ar lielu glazūru un konfektēm. Ja jūsu ģimenei vairāk patīk fon Traps, iesildiet vecos balss akordus ar omulīgu tasi karsta kakao un pēc tam apmeklējiet savus kaimiņus vai vietējo senioru centru un dodieties dziedāt – dziedot visu iecienītākās Ziemassvētku dziesmas.

Reiz mežā dzima eglīte un mežā auga tā,

Tik slaida, skaista, zaļoksna bij' ziemā, vasarā.

Dzied dziesmu viņai putenis un miegā ieaijā,

Sals sniega segā satinis, lai nenosaltu tā.

Zem eglītes mazs zaķītis, kaut bailīgs, draiskuļo,

Un dažu brīdi dusmīgs vilks tai garām aizcilpo.

Klau, sniegs kā dzied zem ragavām pa meža biezokņiem,

Tur zirdziņš kājām pinkainām skrien sīkiem riksīšiem.

Velk ragaviņas bērītis, sēž iekšā vectētiņš,

Mums eglīti ir nocirtis līdz pašai saknei viņš.

Tu uzposta un greznota pie mums nu esi te,

Cik daudz, daudz prieka mazajiem tu nesi, eglīte.

Christmas is more than a day in December
It's all of those things that we love to remember
Its carolers singing familiar refrains
Bright colored stockings and shiny toy trains
Streamers of tinsel and glass satin balls
Laughter that rings through the house and its halls
Christmas is more than a day in December
Its the magic and the love
That we'll always remember.

Ziemassvētku svece ir jauka lieta;
Tas vispār nerada troksni,
Bet maigi atdod sevi;
Lai gan tas ir diezgan nesavtīgs, tas aug mazs.

The ground is lightly covered with snow,
So white and endlessly barren.
May joy and love be warm,
Your heart is full on Christmas Eve!
