Mistletoe and Holly
Frank Sinatra/The Christmas Album Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents
Countrysides covered with snow
Oh, by gosh, by jingle
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle
Overeating, merry greeting
Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a yuletide hymn
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties and granny's pies
And folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you
Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a Yuletide hymn
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties and granny's pies
And folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
„Your banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.“
„He will wait until wars rage everywhere.
Then he will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. Everyone will lavish praise on him.
He will not stop there, for he will move at a pace which will astonish many and he will negotiate peace agreements in many war-torn nations.“
"He will impress everyone with his knowledge of all things sacred.
He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him."

@gaburiii
Frank Sinatra is literally the reincarnation of Christmas. Without Frank, there isn't Christmas.
@thewitek498
Not only, but you also can't say that you only bend your knees in church and its tradition. Frank Sinatra is more than second Santa Claus. He is the man of culture and he's got more way better and fabulous, songs which target isn't Christmas
@thewitek498
Not reincarnation but personification fix that and thank me later
@ModernBingFan
I’d argue Bing Crosby is the personification of Christmas, with Bing’s warm and soothing voice that can become powerful when needed in O Holy Night or Do You Heat What I Hear, reflective and melancholy when need be in White Christmas or I’ll Be Home For Christmas, or jaunty and jolly in Jingle Bells or It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
@franzjosephi.8692
Not for me!
@lauranyc4966
And Dean
@kiskok2920
Only Frank's voice decides when it's christmas
@ryxan2010
When you hear Frank Sinatra, you know Christmas is on it's way :)
@spiderstriker281
Filipinos would disagree with you. Jose Mari Chan decides that Christmas starts in September.
@garyjamgochian6411
Only his voice gives us the christmas vibes ....
