(1) Christmas Carol

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year-Andy Williams

There'll be parties for hosting 

Marshmallows for toasting 

And caroling out in the snow 

There'll be scary ghost stories 

And tales of the glories of 

Christmases long, long ago 

It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistltoeing 

And hearts will be glowing 

When love ones are near 

It's the the most wonderful time of the year
