2025 Winter Concert

Catch the Holiday Spirit

Catch the holiday spirit,

Catch the holiday spirit,

Cause once you catch it, you’ll want to share it,

So pack up some cheer and take it along,

Wrap it in the rhythm of a happy song,

Catch the holiday spirit,

Catch the holiday spirit,

Cause once you catch it, you’ll want to share it,

Just wrap it up in some love and tie it up with a bow

And spread it wherever you go!

Shake someone’s hand

Show them a smile

Give them a pat on the back

Make someone laugh and in a while

I’d say my friend you’ll be gettin’ the nack of the…

Holiday spirit, of the holiday spirit

Now spread it in whatever you do

And make the holiday spirit last the whole year through!

Do a kind deed, without being asked

And no expectations at all

And just like a gift, it’ll give you a lift

And make you feel about ten feet tall

So catch the holiday spirit

Catch the holiday spirit

Now spread it in whatever you do

And make the holiday spirit last the whole year through

Make it last the whole year through!

When joyful carols fill the air

You know there’s a very good reason

With fa la la’s and ooh’s and ah’s

It’s a sign of the holiday season

Then twinkling lights shine through the night

A glow on our caroling chorus

Then comes a treat of something sweet

That our friends make especially for us

Singing fills the crisp air

Sparkling stars above

Snowflakes fall around us

As we sing of peace and love

When joyful carols fill the air

You know there’s a very good reason

With fa la la’s and ooh’s and ah’s

You know it’s the holiday season

How we love to carol

Each home’s filled with joy

And they hand out goodies

One for every girl and boy!

When joyful carols fill the air

You know there’s a very good reason

With fa la la’s and ooh’s and ah’s

You know it’s the holiday season

Fa, la-la la, la-la la, la…

Fa, la-la la, la, la, la!

I wish that I could be

A sparkling Christmas tree

And I could shine my light all over the world

I’d sparkle every day in such a special way

That I’d bring peace and joy to every boy and girl

High on top of me would a star for you to see

And all around me, there would be lots of presents for you and me

I wish that I could be, a sparkling Christmas tree,

And I could shine my light all over the world

Yes, I would shine my light all over the world.

On every branch there’d be, a light that shines so brilliantly.

And wrapped around me, 

Garlands of peace and love for the world to see.

I wish that I could be, a sparkling Christmas tree,

And I could shine my light all over the world

Yes, I would shine my light all over the world.

All over the world.

You want to learn to be like Santa Claus today

Be a Santa, you want to be a Santa

You want to learn to be like Santa’s what you say

Be a Santa, you want to be a Santa.

You’re gonna need a bright red suit

Then you’ll look mighty cute!

And a red cap for a hat…

Now what do you think of that?

It’s not quite Santa Claus!

Well now you kind of look like Santa Claus to me.

Look like Santa, you kind of look like Santa…

But there can only be one Santa Claus, you see.

Just one Santa, there’s only just one Santa.

You’ll need some black boots for your feet,

For stepping to the beat…

And a beard that’s snowy white…

And now you look just right!

He’s just like Santa Claus!

Say Ho! Ho! Ho! 

Ho! Ho! Ho!

The way Santa does, you know!

Gotta make your belly shake!

Like the Earth is gonna quake!

Well, you kind of look like Santa Claus to me!

Looks like Santa, you kind of look like Santa!

Although there’s only one real Santa Claus, you see!

One real Santa, there’s only one real Santa!

And now we’ve shown you all we know!

There’s nothing left to show!

The rest is up to you because…

You gotta just be Claus!

Just be Claus, be Claus!

You gotta just be Claus!

Just be Claus, be Claus!

You gotta just be Claus…

Just be Santa Claus! Yeah!

Spin the dreidel round and round…

Keep it spinning on the ground

It’s that happy time of year…

When friends and family gather near!

Fry the latkes one by one

Flip them over when they’re done…

It’s that happy time of year…

The time that Hanukkah is here!

Let’s sing for Hanukkah!

Time for swaying to and fro!

Let’s sing for Hanukkah!

Miracle of long ago!

Let’s sing for Hanukkah!

Light eight candles in a row!

Let’s sing for Hanukkah!

As we watch the candles glow!

Let the candles shine so bright…

As we light one every night!

What a happy time of year…

We’re glad that Hanukkah is here!

We’re glad that Hanukkah is here!

And now we’ll sing and dance and cheer!

Hey!

Got the paper, the scissors, the tape and the bow,

Let’s do the gift wrap rap, now here we go!

Put the present in a box and fit it nice and tight.

Now get your scissors and your paper- 

Cut the size just right.

Then smooth those corners, tape them down,

Get them nice and flat,

Now add a bow, it’s ready to go…

You’re doing the gift wrap rap!

You gotta wrap it, you gotta wrap it up good

You gotta make it look great today!

Use ribbons and bows, ‘cause anything goes…

Before you give it away – that’s right!

Yes, it feels so good when you give it away,

‘Cause that’s the meaning of the holiday!

Yes, giving feels good – you can bet!

‘Cause it’s always better to give than get!

You gotta wrap it, you gotta wrap it up good!

You gotta add a card to say…

Whatever you do, be sure that you…

Have a happy holiday!

That’s right!

Cause it feels so good when you give it away,

‘Cause that’s the meaning of the holiday!

Yes, giving feels good – you can bet!

‘Cause it’s always better to give than get…

Yes, it’s always better to give than get!

Yes, it’s always better to give than get!

Wrap it up!

Do a kind deed every day…

Spread lots of love on your way…

You don’t need a reason, you see…

Let it come spontaneously…

And a smile will greet your face…

One that nothing can erase…

Pack up some kindness to go…

It doesn’t weigh much, you know…

Seems that things just never go wrong…

When you take some kindness along…

It’s the one sure thing I know…

That can set you all aglow!

Kindness is contagious, like a very catchy song…

Once it’s given to you, you can’t help passing it along…

So once the holiday season is through…

Just be sure to take kindness with you…

You won’t have to search far and wide…

We all have it deep down inside…

Open up your heart each day…

And try to give some love and kindness away!

Kindness is the one gift you don’t have buy, you see….

Give and you’ll receive it and it’s absolutely free!

So once the holiday season is through…

Just be sure to take kindness with you…

You won’t have to search far and wide…

We all have it deep down inside…

Open up your heart each day…

And try to give some love and kindness away!
