====== Happy Holidays/The Holiday Season ======

===== Lyrics =====

Happy holiday (happy holiday)\\
Happy holiday (happy holiday)\\
While the merry bells keep ringing\\
Happy holiday to you (happy holiday)\\
(Happy holiday)

It's the holiday season\\
And Santa Claus is coming 'round\\
The Christmas snow is white on the ground\\
When old Santa gets into town\\
He'll be coming down the chimney, down\\
(He'll be coming down the chimney, down)

It's the holiday season\\
And Santa Claus has got a toy\\
For every good girl and good little boy\\
Santa's a great big bundle of joy\\
When he's coming down the chimney, down\\
(When he's coming down the chimney, down)

He'll have a big fat pack upon his back\\
And lots of goodies for you and for me\\
So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick\\
Hanging on the Christmas tree

It's the holiday season (the holiday season)\\
So hoop-de-do and dickory dock\\
And don't forget to hang up your sock\\
'Cause just exactly at twelve o'clock\\
He'll be coming down the chimney, down\\
(He'll be coming down the chimney, down)

He'll have a big fat pack upon his back\\
And lots of goodies for you and for me\\
So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick\\
Hanging on the Christmas tree

It's the holiday season (the holiday season)\\
So hoop-de-do and dickory dock\\
And don't forget to hang up your sock\\
'Cause just exactly at twelve o'clock\\
He'll be coming down the chimney\\
Coming down the chimney\\
Coming down the chimney, down

Happy holiday\\
(Happy holiday) Happy holiday\\
While the merry bells keep ringing\\
Happy holiday to you
