The Day After Thanksgiving
Going to the Mall,
Surrounded by the stores,
Trying not to fall,
As I walk the floors.

Gifts in all the aisles,
I've got a great big list,
I've walked a million miles,
I wonder what I've missed.

(chorus) What to Buy? What to Buy?
Shopping I detest,
I think I'll just let Santa, finish up the rest.

Rachel, Rochester, MN

In the car we are, to Gramma's house we go
Snuggled up together, Drifting through the snow
Cookies, Milk, and Pie, through the ice we fly
I get their and hardly want to say goodbye

We eat Downstairs, sing in pairs, open up the presents
All night long we sing the songs, and eat the pheasant
The next day I try to say "That was the best day"
Santa and his reindeer ride in a Christmas sleigh

Aunts and Uncles come, over to our home
Candies, Bars, and fudge, through the gifts we roam
Santa brings the toys,squeaks, and, squeals, and noise
What fun it is to hear the kids laugh and sing with joy

Christmas is my favorite time, Oh on Christmas day
We open up the present, and then go on the sleigh
Toys, Clothes, What more can you get?
All the Christmas treasures, all the Christmas gifts

Natalie

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride on an Arctic Cat today.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride on an Arctic Cat today.

Rushing through the snow, on an Arctic Cat ZR
Snow stuck on my shield, I cannot see far.
With Polaris in the rear trying to get near.
What fun it is to watch them play in my rear view mirror.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride an Arctic cat today.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride an Arctic Cat today.

Tyler and Adam

Oh, family, giving gifts, Christmas time is here
Having fun on Christmas Eve and bringing Christmas cheer!
Christmas pie, won't deny, love this time of year
Gazing out the window, will wait 'till Santa's here!

Driving through the flakes, to where my grandma dwells
The house they decorate, with lights, tinsel and bells!
Step into the house, surrender all the gifts
And all of the festivities, our spirits they shall lift!
(repeat chorus)
Wrapping paper flies, cousins faces glow
I spot a gift of mine, than hear a Ho, Ho, Ho!
I let out a cheer, when he steps through the door
I realize its Christmas down to the very core!
Molly

Sliding through the ice,
Path of trees in the way,
Never gonna stop,
Hey, hey, hey, hey,hey.
Shoes are soaking wet,
Mittens full of holes,
Wonder how I got tricked playing Santa Claus.

Oh call for help, call for help, call for help somehow,
throw some cookies in the stove and back them up right now.
Stephanie, Rochester, MN

Driving on the road on a very snowy day
all the miles we go singing all the way la la
we here the caroling it is so very bright
we build some snowman pack them tight

winters here winters here winter is right here
We hear it and we see it it's circling all around us oh
winters here winters here winter is right here
we hear it and we see it winter is right here winter!

Melanie, 9, Rochester, MN

Skidding down the hills with my blue and orange sled,
making my face snowy then it's all red.
hot chocolate at the lodge
making smiling faces
what fun it is to sing this snowy song tonight.

Sledding, sledding, sledding all the time.
Having fun with all my friends and making snow men too.
Sledding, sledding sledding all the time.
what fun it is to play with all my friends in the snow.


Kaitlin, 10, Chanhassen, MN

Walking with my dog
in a blizzard storm today
over the streets we go
barking all the way
(bark bark bark bark)

We are having fun
on a day like today
his tail is wagging
like the crazy dog he is.

Britts my dog Britts my dog
Britts so very cute
I love my dog I love my dog
I love my dog so much.

Jessica, 8, Rochester, MN

Opening presents, sitting on santas lap,
reindeer on the roof, pitter patter tap tap tap,
children up early, thanking mom and dad,
this will be the best Christmas they have ever had.

Cookies, presents,
lots and lots of toys,
parents always talking,
little girls kissing boys,
Cookies presents
lots and lots of toys,
parents always talking
little girls kissing boys

Singing Christmas carols, hanging up the lights,
everyone will notice them 'cause they are very bright,

Cookies, presents,
lots and lots of toys,
parents always talking,
little girls kissing boys,
Cookies presents
lots and lots of toys,
parents always talking
little girls kissing boys
