Chorus:
Skating ice
Skating ice
Skating all day long
Oh how nice
It is to skate
And sing this little song

Verse 1:
The ice is shining bright
It almost is a glare
All full of sparkly light
Good for a skating pair
Faces all algow
Some music blaring loud
The wind begins to blow
But it's like you are on a cloud

Verse 2:
When I skate I'm so cold
My nose is cherry red
But it never gets old
Doing nothing else instead
I do a figure eight
Then glide around the edge
And I am sure that it is fate
When I don't hit the hedge

Verse 3:
When you're frozen through
Hot chocolate's very good
People like hot tea too
In chalets made of wood
Then back onto the rink
Among the skating crowd
We have a special link
The group is fun and loud

Verse 4
Circles in the ice
Follow every one
Do it once, then twice
It's actually kind of fun
Gliding smoothly 'round
My face is to the sun
Then back to the real ground
I'm sorry that it's done

Dan, Matt, and Riley, 12, Coon Rapids, MN

Sparkling in the snow, copper-brownish-gold,
Whatever could it be?
I really want to see.
We stop the sled to check, looks like a little speck, I hope it's something good so I can bring it home with me.
Oh! What is it? What is it? Whatever could it be? Is it part of a radio or something on T.V.?
What is it? What is it? What ever could it be? Oh look, there it is, it's just an old penny!

Libby, 10, Rochester, MN

Oh, Timber wolves, Artic wolves,
Black and Red and Gray
Underneath the white full moon
They hunt and kill their prey.

The Northern woods is their home
Where they live and hunt
In Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin
They play tag in the woods.

Oh…

Eddie, 12, Minneapolis, MN

Flying through the snow,
On my white ice skates
Seeing someone playing with a snowy face
Bells are ringing in town and we are playing games
Oh, what fun it is to ride in the car to Granny house today
Hey!
Granny House, Granny House
Oh what fun it is to drive to Granny house
today
Hey!

Fartun, 11, Rochester, MN

Holidays

Verse 1:
One day left to go,
The shopping is complete,
We rush into our homes,
Then we go to sleep!
The holidays are coming,
Right down memory lane,
I want them to be here so we
Can laugh and play all day. OH!

Chorus 1:
Holidays, holidays,
The holidays are here!
Oh it is such a wonderful
Time of year, Hey!
Holidays, holidays,
The holidays are here!
Oh it is such a wonderful
Time of year, Hey!

Verse 2:
Christmas time is here,
It's the best time of the year,
Work and school are out,
So we can turn and shout!
Hearts are being made,
With lots of love beside,
Santa Claus will jump inside,
And leave our gifts behind! OH!

Chorus 2:
Christmas time, Christmas time,
Christmas time is here!
Oh it is such a wonderful
time of year, Hey!
Christmas time, Christmas time,
Christmas time is here!
Oh it is such a wonderful
Time of year, Hey!

Kayla, 12, Blaine, MN

Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
and a happy Hanukkah too
Opening gifts and sharing love
is what I want to do

Verse
Sledding down the hills
Visiting our families
Sharing so much thrills
and singing harmonies

Drinking warm eggnog
Waiting up for old St. Nick
Warming up to the fire log
and opening up gifts.

Chorus
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
and a happy Hanukkah too
Opening up gifts and sharing love
is what I want to do.

(to the tune of "Jingle Bells")

Frankie, 13, Blaine, MN

Cullpepper turned it over
Vikings lost again
They don't need a new stadium
Until they win again
Making our spirits sad
The Vikings play so bad
What a shame it is to see the Vikings lose the game again

Ooh no playoffs, no playoffs, no playoffs again
Won't you tell me when we will win some games again

A week or 2 ago
Micheal Vick made a touchdown
we got slaughtered by the Falcons
Then whupped by Green Bay Packers
we would loose the game
We don't have any fame
What a shame it is to watch the Vikings play when they are so lame

No playoffs , no playoffs, no playoffs,
no playoffs, no playoffs , no playoffs

Chase, 13, Woodbury, MN

Reindeers with red noses
Eggnog with hot fudge
Mrs.Claus and Santa
Laughing in their sleigh
Ho-ho-ho
Shovleling the snow
Snowmobling too
Skiing down an icy hill
Faling down with you

Oh, elves making toys
Jugs of apple cider
Long shopping lines
Kissing under mistletoe
At the strike of nine
Oh, fires burning
Snowboarding fast Sleeding down a hill
Hot chocolate, wreaths and it's
Christmas time at last!

Stockings on the mantel
Hanging up the garland
Making a snowman
In the freezing wind
Chill,chill,chill
Putting up the tree
Eating Christmas ham
Getting up to open presents
At 6am

Oh, elves making toys
Jugs of apple cider
Long shopping lines
Kissing under mistletoe
At the strike of nine
Oh, fires burning
Snowboarding fast Sleeding down a hill
Hot chocolate, wreaths and it's
Christmas time at last!

Erik, Michele, and Katie, 12, Coon Rapids, MN

Grocery store, mini mall floors, all have Christmas cheer,
Football games, credit card pains, Christmas time is near.
Snowball fight, got frost bite,cookies on a plate.
Won't be long before they're gone.
Ain't Christmas time just great?



Jesse, 10, La Crescent, MN

Going through the field, on a cold winter night,
Oh what fun it will be, to build a snowman.
When we are done, we go through the fields again,
Sing the hole through, so Merry Christmas to you.

Here we go, here we go, sledding all the way.
Oh, won't we have fun if everybody sled's today.
Here we go, here we go, sledding all the way.
Oh, won't we have fun if everybody sleds today.

Melissa, 10, La Crescent, MN

Driving through the snow, in the family minivan
O'er the streets we go, fast as we can

Horns on the van honk,stressing us all out
O' what dread it is to drive a minivan tonight.

Honking horns, honking horns, honking all the way.
Oh, what a dread it is to drive on the road tonight.
Honking horns, honking horns, honking all the way.
Oh, what a dread it is to drive on the road tonight.

Hannah, 10, La Crescent, MN

Hiking through the woods to find a tree for chopping,
My nose is geeting cold, at home the fire's popping,
Cooking Christmas cakes to eat on Christmas DAy,
Relatives will come to stay for the Holiday.

Christmas tree, Christmas tree, shining so bright,
Lots of little lights on you that make you shine at night.
Christmas tree, Christmas tree, shining so bright,
Lots of little lights on you that make you shine at night.

Jacob, 9, La Crescent, MN

Running through the snow, in a pair of snowshoes too.
O'er the hills we run, laughing all the way.
We're going to have some fun,
What fun it is to run in a pair of snowshoes tonight, hey!

Snowshoes, snowshoes, snowshoes, snowshoes all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to laugh and play in the snow all day, hey!
Snowshoes, snowshoes, snowshoes, snowshoes all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to laugh and play on a sunny day, hey.

Josh, 9, La Crescent, MN
