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.

Mirdz cerības svecīšu galos.

Lai katra sirdi sasilda

Šī mazā sveču liesmiņa!

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.

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.

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

– unknown

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
