Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. ~ Isaiah 7:14
Christmas Song Lyrics Compiled by Charles P. Scott
Holly Jolly Christmas
Lyrics
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year.
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street.
Say Hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet.
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
Hung where you can see.
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear.
Oh by golly, have a holly
Jolly Christmas this year.
About This Song
"A Holly Jolly Christmas" (also called "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas") is a Christmas song written by Johnny Marks and most famously performed by Burl Ives.
The song was featured in the 1964 Rankin-Bass Christmas special, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, in which Burl Ives voiced the narrator, Sam the Snowman. Originally to be sung by Larry D. Mann as Yukon Cornelius, the song, as well as "Silver and Gold", was given to Ives due to his singing fame.[3] This version was also included on the soundtrack album.
