Hanukkah oh Hanukkah
by Mordkhe (Mark) Rivesman
Sing-along
Hanukkah oh Hanukkah come light the menorah
Let's have a party we'll all dance the hora
Gather round the table we'll give you a treat
Dreidels to play with and latkes to eat
And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
One for each night they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
by Johnny Marks
Sing-along
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You could even say it gloves
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history
You'll go down in history
