Christmas eve, Christmas eve, Christmas eve is here.
I can't wait to get to sleep to see what he brings me, hey.
Christmas eve, Christmas eve, Christmas eve is here.
I can't wait to get to sleep to see what he brings me.

(some of the words have to be said fast because of too many syllables.)
I went shopping one day
To a place called the Art Knot
I saw a woman standing there
Buying the whole lot
I got a better look
And to my surprise
It was actually Michael Jackson
Standing right before my eyes
Backstreet Boys, N*sync
98 degrees
My sister listens to this stuff really loud
Would someone please shoot me
I can't stand it anymore
I'm not a suicidal kid
But if I hear their music again
I might consider it


After a long day of work
I turn on the radio
Hoping for Metallica
I only get J-Lo
Now things could not get worse
I'm barely alive
I can't believe I lived that day
Because I got the Jackson five

Tate, 12, Detroit Lakes, MN

I like Christmas because it is nice
and I want a hat because it is pretty and I want a snowboard because they are fun
and sometimes I get what I want

Chubby Claus, Chubby Claus Am I Being Good?

And Come, So, I Can Hug You, And You Can Hug Me, And We Can Be Happy

Meghan, 12, Albert Lea, MN

Outside shovelin' snow
Playin' sleddin' games
O the skiing we go
Eating Candy canes
Waiting for the snow
To come on Christmas Day
Lights and Bells and Christmas trees while singing all the way, O

Christmas trees
Christmas trees
Are fun to decorate
All the pretty colors and
the sugar coated dates

Christmas trees
Christmas trees
Are fun to decorate
All the pretty colors and
the sugar coated dates


Ryan, Jack, Tom, Mankato, MN

Sliding through the slush,
yelling going around,
sitting on the clutch,
radio making sound! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Havoc being wreaked,
gasoline being leaked,
car is really meek,
the tires starting to creak! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Big old yells,
big old yells,
family all the way,
people yelling all the time,
and the snow is melting away! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Big old yells,
big old yells,
family all the way,
the car is starting to tip,
and all the people don't want to stay! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Brian, Stephan Mankato, MN

Dashing through the manure in a buffalo sleigh
over the hay bales we go mushing all the way
bells on cow tails ring
making spirits light
oh what horror it is to ride and sing a sleigh song today

Jingle bells this school smells my dog laid an egg
Ethan lost his head and Mr. Holter took ballet

Ethan, Redwood Falls, MN

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle every day
climb a mountain with a fork and a spoon all the way
Skating on the ice
making it feel nice
over the pond we go
skating all the way
bam, bam, bam, bam
bells on skate tails ring
making spirits rise
how fun it is to skate and sing a sleighing song tonight

Blake, Kyle, Redwood Falls, MN

Dashing through the snow in a one dog open sleigh
over the hills we go cha-cha all the way
ruff-ruff-ruff bells on lady's neck
making cha-cha wild
o what fun it is to ride on b.j.s back tonight
o jingle bells cha-cha smells b.j. caught a bird abby's tail wiggles still and gretchen ran away
bark

dedicated to b.j., gretchen,.lady, cha-cha, abby our dogs

Taylor, Ashley, Redwood Falls, MN

Dashing through the snow on a one eye open horse
going to hit a tree laughing as we go ha! ha! ha!
my horse ran in a big pile of white snow and its time to go and drink some hot cocoa
yum yummy

Haley, Redwood Falls, MN

Running though the snow
In a one horse open car
Over the roads we go
Giggling all the way
Bells on bob tail ring
Making spirits gold
What fun it is to ride and sing a Christmas song tonight
Jingle ring, Jingle ring
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open car.

Melissa, Redwood Falls, MN

Sneaky Santa: By Cara

Children playing games
In big circles round the fire
Eating candy canes
Soon they quickly tire
Eyes are tightly shut
Dreams fill up their thoughts
As Santa rushes to their huts
Sure he won't get caught.

Chorus: (2x)
Ha Ha Ha , Ho Ho Ho!

He's a sneaky man
But he's always sure to smile
As he flies atop your land.

The night is deep and dark
As Santa's reindeer fly
Above the glowing moon
Their lights, light up the sky
Santa leads the way
But Rudolph's nose is their guide
They'll be back before the day.
As long as no one's lied.

Chorus

The night is deep and dark
The stars are shining bright
Santa has left his mark
Christmas trees are a sight
Each branch seems to be lit
Cookies lay on the table
Most are chocolate chip
Some Santa bit
He ate all he was able

Chorus

Cara, 13, St. Cloud, MN
