Christmas Is Near 

Written by: Rehya Stevens & Brian Steckler

Trim the tree, stoke the fire
Hang the holly once again 
Deck the halls everywhere
Though outside it’s cold and drear 
Christmas time is drawing near

All the bluebirds have gone 
But the new bird sings a song 
Singin’ fa la la la la la la la

Frolic and be free for awhile 
Celebrate the season tonight 
Winter’s calling card is here 
Light the candles dim the lights
There's evergreen in the air 
Christmas is near

Bundle up, cozy tight 
Let’s take a trip to town   
Catch a show, see the sights 
Passersby spread good cheer 
Christmas time is drawing near

All the bluebirds have gone 
But the new bird sings a song
Singin' fa la la la la la la la

Let’s frolic and be free for awhile
Celebrate the season tonight
Winter’s calling card is here 
Toast to family and friends 
And gather 'round the tree
Christmas is here
Christmas is here

Don't Be Late 
Written by: Rehya Stevens & Brian Steckler

We put nine tin reindeer up on the roof 
Santa's on his way and that is the truth 
And we can hardly wait for Christmas morn'

We frosted window panes for all to see 
Striped candy canes aglow on the tree 
With a pair of roller skates and caramel corn

Santa, we have worked hard 
We hope you won't be late 
We even put some carols on 
And put your favorite cookies 
on the shiniest plate 
With a cup of cocoa kiddie corner 
Fit for a saint

We want a choo-choo train 
That circles around 
That whistles and chugs 
A choo-choo train sound 
And we can hardly wait to blow the horn 
At 5 am when we light up the tree 
With stockings stuffed tight as can be 
But we can't stand the waiting anymore

Santa we have tried so hard 
So hurry, don't be late  
We even put some carols on
And put your favorite cookies 
On the shiniest plate 
With a jug of milk kiddie corner 
Fit for a saint 
So hurry up, hurry up
Santa, don't be late

Santa's Takin' Over The Town 
Written by: Rehya Stevens & Brian Steckler

Donner and Blitzen
Are itchin’ gettin’ ready to fly
Prancer and Vixen 
Are polishin’ them reindeer smiles
Dancer’s showin’ Comet 
How to rock it in the new freestyle

All the village elves
Are workin’ through the night 
Stockin’ up the shelves 
From the left and to the right

Gettin’ it done 
Cuz Santa’s Takin’ Over the Town 
Click your heels and run, Rudolf
Cuz Santa’s takin’ over the town

Bobby’s got a school play
Jenny’s got the lead in the choir
The baby’s got a toothache 
With no pacifier
In traffic all the way
It’s like she’s screamin’ through an amplifier

Momma needs a break 
Papa wants a drink
Oh for heaven's sake 
Everybody’s on the brink

It won't won't be long
'Til Santa's takin' over the town 
Tell everyone
That Santa's takin' over the town 
Let's have some fun
Let Santa take over the town
Like a son of a gun
Santa’s takin’ over the town

Oooo!
C'mon Rudolf, run!
I think I see a sleigh
Maybe we should stay up 
To hear some hooves on the roof
What do you think?
I hope it won't be too long

Cuz all the little kids
They're tryin’ to tow the line
But somethings gotta give 
Before lose their little  minds

It won’t be long
‘Til Santa’s takin' over the town
They’ll be awake before the dawn 
Cuz Santa’s takin’ over the town
Let's have some fun 
Let Santa take over the town
Like a son of a gun
Santa’s takin’ over the town

Be My Baby By Christmas Night
Written by Rehya Stevens & Brian Steckler

Last year I was happy as could be 
When you were here with me oh, oh, oh, oh
Now you’re gone and I’m in misery 
Wishin’ you would come home ho-o-o-ome
I don’t want to spend December
With anyone at all

If I ain’t with you, you
I’ll be lonely and blue, blue
Hopin’ that you miss me too, ooh 
Won’t you make my dreams come true
Be my baby by Christmas night

Toys & presents underneath the tree
They don’t mean a thing, no (oh oh oh)
Friends they call, but I just let it ring 
Cuz I don’t feel the cheer at all 
I don’t wanna hear about 
The fun that’s goin' on

If I ain’t with you, you
I’ll be lonely and blue, blue 
Hopin’ that you miss me too, ooh
Won’t you make my dreams come true
Be my baby by Christmas night 

There’s no joy that Santa can bring me 
On his magic sleigh
There’s nothin’ for me to celebrate 
No, I won’t even stay up on December 24th

If I ain’t with you, you
There’s nothin’ Santa can do 
So I’m hopin’ that you’ll come on thru, thru 
Won’t you make my dream come true

Oh, If I ain’t with you, you
I’ll be lonely and blue, blue
Hopin’ that you miss me too, ooh 
Won’t you make my dreams come true
Be my baby by Christmas night 
Come home by Christmas night 
Be my baby by Christmas night 
Oh! Baby oh baby!
Ooo 
Be my baby by Christmas night

Early Winter 
Written by: Rehya Stevens

Spring is gone, summer went by way too fast 
Fall slipped away she never seems to last 
Then it all gets hazy until the leaves go

I remember when you came around every day 
You'd crack me up with all the funny things you’d say
Then it all got crazy, I still hear the thunder roll

Oh, I wish it was December
But no, it’s just an early winter 
It’s an early winter

Now there’s nowhere to go but in my head 
So I travel back to careless the words we said 
And it’s colder in my world than on the frozen street now

Remember when we used to 
stay up late at night 
Dreamin’ 'bout the future and it looked so bright 
But the clouds rolled in and darkness crashed down

Oh, It’s not even December 
No, It’s just an early winter 
We had an early winter

Now we’re forever paused somewhere in time
Underneath the snow where beauty hides
And it all looks dreary until the sun shines

Oh, it's not even December
Oh, it’s just an early winter 
No, it's not even December
No, It’s just an early winter
We had an early winter

Christmas is Comin' Again
Written by: Rehya Stevens

Bells are ringin’ 
All the way to Tinsel Town
Everybody knows that sound 
Christmas is comin’ again  

So let’s go walkin’
Foggin’ up the frosty air 
And leave behind our every care
‘Cos Christmas is comin’ again

Let’s go skate around the ice at Caribou Park
Sip hot cocoa on our way home in the dark 
Through misty silver lanes aglowin' it’s pretty clear
Christmas is a wonderful time of the year

Bells are ringin’ 
All the world's a tinsel town 
Everybody loves that sound
Christmas is comin’ again

Let’s go build a snowman down at Evergreen Farm
A distinguished gentleman with a wooden cigar 
We’ll tell him he’s the king of the whole frontier 
Hey, Christmas only comes but one time of the year

Bells are ringin’ 
All the world’s a Tinsel Town 
Don't you love that happy sound
Christmas is comin’ again 
Christmas is comin’ again
Christmas is comin' again

Wonderful World Tonight 
Written by: Rehya Stevens & Brian Steckler

Leave the record spinnin’ “Let it Snow”
Shall we go 
Put on our mittens and our warm wooly hats 
Let's go play out in the winter white world tonight

Off and away we go, hand in hand 
With red rosy cheeks and a couple of friends 
Let's go make a little magic in town 
It’s a winter white world tonight

While Santa's chuggin' along 
We can dance all night into the dawn 
The band is rockin' all the merry songs

Then maybe we can take it slow  
A gentle toe to toe
Feelin’ sentimental and romantical
Let’s get cozy when the lights dim low
In a winter white world tonight

While Santa's chuggin' along 
We can dance all night into the dawn 
The band is serenading us along

While Santa's chug-chug-chuggin' along 
We can rock all night into the dawn 
The band is serenading us along

Then later on we’ll take a stroll 
And head on down the road
To toast a cup of cheer back at our abode  
And watch the sun come up on Christmas morn’
To a wonderful of white 
It’s a wonderful world tonight 
Such a wonderful world tonight

Me, Myself & I
Written by: Rehya Stevens & Brian Steckler

I’ve done it again 
I let everybody down 
There are no friends
Left for me in this town

It may be lonely, I may be ashamed 
But I've still got company at the end of the day

With me, myself & I 
Up to no good
Me, myself & I 
In this old neighborhood 
Well if angels really try 
Hell, I’ll knock on wood
Between me, myself & I 
I’m just misunderstood

I never mean to do so much harm 
I just get weak when I should be strong 
So year after year I find myself at the bar 
From December 24th until New Year's Eve

With me, myself and I 
Up to no good
With me, myself & I 
In the wrong neighborhood 
Well if angels wanna try 
Hell, I’ll knock on wood
Between me, myself & I 
I’m just misunderstood

It's me, myself and I 
Up to no good
Me, myself & I 
In the wrong neighborhood 
And if angels really try 
I’ll knock on wood
Between me, myself & I 
I’m just misunderstood 
Between me, myself & I
I ain't no good

Welcome One & All
Written by: Rehya Stevens & Brian Steckler

You don’t have to be an angel singing 
Strumming a harp of gold
You don’t have to be a Wiseman leading 
Sheep into the fold 
To welcome one & all

So gather around ye, weary travelers 
Coming from near and far 
No matter what the road you traverse 
Please come as you are 
Please come as you are

Whether you sing "Hallelujah" 
Or never said "Amen" 
Gather 'round in the spirit 
Of peace on earth and good will to men

Are you alone adrift in wandering 
An unfamiliar road
Or have you amends to make this morning 
Peace has come to call 
Peace has come to call

Whether you sing "Hallelujah" 
Or never said "Amen" 
Gather 'round in the spirit 
Of peace on earth and good will to men

Everywhere 
Every sister every brother 
No need for despair 
No need to be self-righteous

'Cos you don’t have to be an angel singing 
Strumming a harp of gold
You don’t have to be a Wiseman leading 
Sheep into the fold 
To welcome one & all
We're welcome one & all
