"Happy Holidays To You" is a song written by Mark Wood Jr, John Parrish Horns (drums), and Gene Page (strings).
Mmm...hmm...hmm...
Lots of happy little children waiting for sunrise
A stocking full of candy and a big surprise
Look at the happiness in their eyes
They're glad it's Christmas
People carolin? into the night
Where the snow is fallin? there are sleigh bells rides tonight
We'll snuggle to a nice warm fire
I'm glad it's Christmas
But before the snow gets under way
Think of much love you wish to give today
Then wonder why we can't give it all every day
There is no reason, every season needs love
People really need one another
Men, women, boy, girl, sister and brother
We wish to
Wish happy holidays to you
(Happy holidays, happy holidays)
Happy holidays to you
And for this holiday season celebration
Let's lift our hands to the holy nation
To say Thank You, Father (Thank You, Father)
Happy Birthday to Your son, mmm...hmm...
Happy holidays to you
Hope is the strength we need
Love is to share with men
Peace is to be with everyone
Hey...hey...hey...
Happy holidays to you
(Happy holidays, happy holidays)
To you, yeah, hmm...hmm...
Happy holidays to you
(Happy holidays, happy holidays)
You see, people really need one another
Men, women, boy, girl, sister and brother
We wish to
Wish happy holidays to you
(Happy holidays, happy holidays)
Happy holidays to you
We wish you happy holidays, whoa...ho...
Hoo...
To you, to you, to you
Mmm...hmm...hmm...hmm...
Happy holidays to you from The Whispers

![Spike Jones & the City Slickers ft George Rock - All I Want For Christmas (RCA/Victor Records 1947)
All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth is a novelty Christmas song written in 1944 by Donald Yetter Gardner (1913-2004) while teaching music at public schools in Smithtown, New York. He asked his second grade class what they wanted for Christmas, and noticed that almost all of the students had at least one front tooth missing as they answered in a lisp. Gardner wrote the song in 30 minutes. In a 1995 interview, Gardner said, I was amazed at the way that silly little song was picked up by the whole country. The song was published in 1948 after an employee of Witmark music company heard Gardner sing it at a music teachers conference.
The song was originally recorded by Spike Jones & His City Slickers on December 6, 1947, with lead vocal by George Rock. That version reached the top of the pop charts in 1948, and again in 1949. The song has also been recorded by numerous other singers and performers, including Ray Stevens,[4] George Strait, Danny Kaye with The Andrews Sisters, The Platters, Dread Zeppelin, The Kelly Family, Nat King Cole (reportedly Gardners favorite version), The Chipmunks, the Hampton String Quartet, The Three Stooges, and Count von Count of Sesame Street.
In the versions by Spike, The Chipmunks (Theodore on lead vocals), and Ray Stevens, the song ends with the performer shouting the words Happy New Year!!!
Drag performer and singer RuPaul parodied the song on his Christmas album Ho, Ho, Ho. In RuPauls version, which is an up-tempo electronica/disco style, he lists the various plastic surgery procedures he wants for Christmas, so he can, as he sings, Look real purdy!.
Country music parodist Cledus T. Judd parodied the song on his 2002 Christmas album Cledus Navidad. Titled All I Want for Christmas Is Two Gold Front Teef, Judds parody is performed in rap.
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Suddenly I heard a strange noise down below
So, in my flannel pajamas I went tippy-toe
I could see old Saint Nick from the spot where I stood
So I slid down the banister just as fast as I could
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see, my two front teeth?
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Chritmas
It seems so long since I could say
Sister Susie sitting on a thistle.
Every time I try to peak
Huh, all I do is whistle
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth see my two front teeth?
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
Good ole Santa Clause and all his reindeer
Huh, they used to bring me lots of toys and candy
Gee but, but now when I go out and call
Dancer, Prancer, Donner and Blitzen
None of em can understand me
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth, see, my two front teeth?
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
So I can wish you Merry Christmas
Chrismas, Chrismas
Aww, for goodness sakes

![Perry Como - Winter Wonderland (RCA Victor 1946)
Winter Wonderland is a winter song, popularly treated as a Christmas time pop standard, written in 1934 by Felix Bernard (composer) and Richard B. Smith (lyricist). Richard was reportedly inspired to write the song after seeing Honesdales Central Park covered in snow. Mr. Smith had written the lyrics while in the West Mountain Sanitarium, being treated for tuberculosis. The original recording was by Richard Himber and his Hotel Ritz-Carlton Orchestra on RCA Bluebird in 1934. At the end of a recording session with time to spare, it was suggested that this new tune be tried with an arrangement provided by the publisher. This excellent studio orchestra included many great New York studio musicians including the legendary Artie Shaw. Due to its seasonal theme, Winter Wonderland is often regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere, although the holiday itself is never mentioned in the lyrics. There is a mention of sleigh-bells several times, implying that this song refers to the Christmas period.
You may find yourself asking who is Parson Brown? One can assume that Parson is used as a title, instead of a first name. In the period when this song was written, parsons (now known as a Protestant minister) often travelled among small rural towns to perform wedding ceremonies for denominational followers who did not have a local minister of their faith. Therefore, the children are most likely pretending that their snowman is a Parson with the surname Brown, which would be visiting the town again in the future.
Pierino Ronald Perry Como (May 18, 1912 – May 12, 2001) was an American singer, actor and television personality. During a career spanning more than half a century, he recorded exclusively for RCA Victor for 44 years, after signing with the label in 1943.
He recorded primarily vocal pop and was renowned for recordings in the intimate, easy-listening genre pioneered by multi-media star Bing Crosby.
Mr. C., as he was nicknamed, sold millions of records and pioneered a weekly musical variety television show. His weekly television shows and seasonal specials were broadcast throughout the world. In the official RCA Records Billboard magazine memorial, his life was summed up in these few words: 50 years of music and a life well lived. An example to all.
Como received five Emmys from 1955 to 1959, a Christopher Award (1956) and shared a Peabody Award with good friend Jackie Gleason in 1956. He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame in 1990 and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1987. Posthumously, Como received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002 and was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006. He has the distinction of having three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work in radio, television, and music.
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin?
In the lane snow is glistenin
a beautiful sight, were happy tonight
walkin in a winter wonderland!
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
he sings a love song as we go along
walkin in a winter wonderland!
In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is Parson Brown
hell say Are you married?
well say No man!
But you can do the job,
when youre in town!
Later on, well conspire,
as we dream, by the fire,
to face unafraid,
the plans that weve made
walkin in a winter wonderland!
[instrumental break]
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin?

Oh, theres no place like home for the holidays
Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you cant beat home sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee, he was heading for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania, folks are travelling
Down to Dixies sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific
Gee, the traffic is terrific
Oh, theres no place like home for the holidays
Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you cant beat home sweet home
Take a bus, take a train
Go and hop an aeroplane
Put the wife and kiddies in the family car
For the pleasure that you bring
When you make that doorbell ring
No trip could be too far
I met a man who lives in Tennessee, he was heading for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie (some pumpkin pie)
From Pennsylvania, folks are travelling
Down to Dixies sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific
Gee, the traffic is terrific
Oh, theres no place like home for the holidays
Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you cant beat home sweet home
