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

See Amid the Winter's Snow

by Edward Caswall & John Goss

arranged by Dan Forrest

Angels We Have Heard on High
