Christmas Medley
Sesame Street (Holiday) Lyrics

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
The holiday season is upon us and the world is being transformed into a winter wonderland

Everywhere you go
The festive spirit can be found everywhere and in everything around you

Take a look at the five and ten, glistening once again
Stores and shops are fully stocked with Christmas decorations and shining bright for the holiday season

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
The streets and shops are decorated with glittering and shiny silver colors, accompanied with the sweet scent of candy canes

Soon the bells will start
The sound of Christmas bells are about to fill the air

And the thing that will make them ring, is the carol that you sing
The true essence and joy of Christmas comes from within and is expressed through singing carols

Right within your heart
The joy of Christmas can be felt within your heart, and shared with the world through the simple act of caroling.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
The sidewalks of the city are filled with holiday shoppers and busy tourists

Dressed in holiday style
The crowded street corners and downtown cityscapes are decked out in holiday decorations

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
There's a special spirit and energy in the air that only Christmas can bring, filling every corner of the city.

Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile
The atmosphere is filled with joy and warmth, children playing and smiles being exchanged between strangers and loved ones.

And on every street corner you see
Every turn reveals another Christmas display or holiday surprise.

Silver bells, silver bells
The sounds of silver bells ring through the air as a reminder that it's Christmas time in the city.

It's Christmas time in the city
The city is fully embracing the holiday spirit and everyone is in full celebration mode.

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
The bells are jingling and ringing with the spirit of the season, bringing joy to all who hear them.

Soon it will be Christmas day
The anticipation and excitement of Christmas is reaching fever pitch as the big day approaches.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
The familiar and warm aroma of roasted chestnuts fills the air, bringing back memories of Christmases past.

Jack Frost nipping at your nose
The chill of winter brings frost to the windows, and a delightful nip to your nose, reminding you of the season's special magic.

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
The sounds of Christmas choir music float through the air and lift the spirits of all who hear them.

And folks dressed up like Eskimos
The chill in the air causes everyone to bundle up in warm hats and coats, evoking thoughts of brisk winter walks and Eskimo culture.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Turkey dinners and mistletoe traditions are staples of Christmas, known and loved by everyone.

Help to make the season bright
Celebrating with holiday food and plants helps to brighten the season and lift everyone's spirits.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Children's wonder and joy at Christmas shines through in their bright and excited gazes, making it a special and memorable time for them.

Will find it hard to sleep tonight
The excitement and anticipation of Santa's arrival can make it difficult for children to drift off to sleep, knowing the magic of Christmas is only a few moments away.

They know that Santa's on his way
The joyous anticipation of knowing Santa's coming creates a sense of excitement and wonder, making Christmas even more special.

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Santa's filled his sleigh with presents and treats for all the good little boys and girls, making everyone's Christmas wishes come true.

And every mother's child is going to spy
Excitement builds as children jump up to look out the window, eager to catch a glimpse of Santa and his reindeer flying overhead.

To see if reindeer's really know how to fly
The age-old myth of Santa Claus and his flying reindeer is still alive and well, filling all children's hearts with wonder.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
As the perfect Christmas gift, the gift of friendship and a warm heart, I offer this simple phrase...

To kids from one to ninety-two
This simple phrase of warmth and friendship can be shared and sincerely appreciated by all ages, from the youngest to the oldest.

Although it's been said many times, many ways
This heartfelt message of kindness and goodwill has been expressed many times before, but the value and sincerity of the message never fades.

Merry Christmas to you
Wishing you all the happiness and joy of the Christmas season, with love and warmth to all.

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Santa Claus is coming to town, and he's keeping an eye out for all the good boys and girls, and checking his list twice.

Better not pout, I am telling you why
Pouting and sulking won't gain any Christmas presents from Santa, so it's better to smile and keep a positive attitude.

Believe me, I'm ready for him
Santa can rest assured that I've been good this year, and I'm eagerly anticipating his arrival with open arms and a happy heart.

He is making a list and checking it twice
Santa's checking his list meticulously, ensuring that everyone who's been good throughout the year is rewarded accordingly.

Going to find out who is naughty and who is nice
Santa is always on the lookout for good behavior, and is sensitive to the needs of all children, rewarding kindness and generosity wherever he finds it.

He sees you when you're sleeping
Santa's always watching, and wants to make sure that all children's dreams come true, even while they sleep.

He knows when you are awake
Santa knows that sometimes, children don't always sleep through the night, and he constantly checks to make sure that everything is okay.

He knows if you've been bad or good
Santa's sensitive and compassionate heart can always tell the difference between good and naughty behavior, as he rewards kindness and generosity, and promotes sharing and love.

So be good for goodness sake
Good behavior and acts of kindness should be rewarded for their own sake, and not just to earn Santa's nod of approval. Be good throughout the year, because it makes the world a better place to live in.
