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 would even say it glows 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" Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows 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"

She lit a candle in a downtown cathedral Quietly confessing, counting on a blessing She looked as if she had nowhere to go I could see her weeping Hands together hoping you would hear... This is the time of year We hold our families near But God let us be a friend to the hurting Oh Emmanuel, God with us Spirit revealed in us That we may be your hope to the world Oh Emmanuel, God with us With a light to break the darkness That we may show your hope to the world Emmanuel, God with us Be God in us I moved in closer just so I could see her face Maybe she was a mother Someone's only daughter Her silver hair shimmered like the snow Christmas bells were ringing Now beside her kneeling I asked her name (And she said) This was the time of year I had my family near But they've all gone and I have been so lonely So with my family that Christmas day A girl of sixty years would laugh and play And as we watched her dance our eyes were full of tears...

Rockin' around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Every couple tries to stop Rockin' around the Christmas tree Let the Christmas spirit ring Later we'll have some pumpkin pie And we'll do some caroling You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Voices singing, let's be jolly Deck the halls with boughs of holly Rockin' around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday Everyone dancin' merrily In the new old-fashioned way You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Voices singing, let's be jolly Deck the halls with boughs of holly Rockin' around the Christmas tree Have a happy holiday Everyone dancin' merrily In the new old-fashioned way

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King! Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled." Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th' angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem." Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King! Christ, by highest heaven adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the favoured one. Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, th'incarnate Deity: Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King! Hail! the heaven-born Prince of peace! Hail! the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the son of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King !"

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on Our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the yuletide gay From now on Our troubles will be miles away Here we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us, once more Through the years We all will be together If the fates allow Hang a shining star Upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas right now

about

To commemorate fifteen years of "Home For The Holidays: A Christmas Album", the friends banded together to release a special 15th anniversary Christmas album aptly titled "Still Home For The Holidays: Another Christmas Album". From the iconic opening number, the touching closing track and all of the lighting of candles in downtown cathedrals in between, this collection of holiday hits is bound to make you smile, cringe, laugh, and possibly even cry. Follow along with the accompanying booklet (see files), enjoy the memories, pour that eggnog, eat those peanut butter balls and throw this album on for an experience quite unlike any previous (except for the fact that many of these songs have been done before). Merry Christmas!

PS: Ever experienced ASMR? How about Christmas-themed ASMR? Well, you're about to... ;)
