Christmas In Olympia
I think that I’ll go downtown
A chill is in the air
Gonna get a little gift
For someone I care about
Think I’ll get some chocolate at
Encore Chocolate and Teas
Gonna hit up Rainy Day Records
For Christmas songs from Beat Happening
Christmas In Olympia
Going to the Capitol Rotunda
Gonna hug their festive tree
Gonna head to the Capitol Theater for the
Procession of Species Christmas Jamboree
Rolling up to Eastside Big Tom’s
Get my girl a peppermint shake
Hangin’ out in Sylvester Park
I think I see that first snow flake
David Scherer Water say
Forty-one bars in our downtown
That’s a lot of Christmas cheer
Baby gonna meet you at the Rhythm and Rye

Gather up your friends
Gather up your family
Hold close those that you hold dear
Take your time with them
Hear the words they have to say
Count those blessings for the year
Christmas is love
Gather in the kitchen
Sit before the fire
Watch the evening turn dark blue
Take part of your day
To greet the world out side
Help others more unfortunate than you.
Christmas is love
If you’re feeling lonely
Misunderstood
You can let it go today
There is hope now coming
If you only let it
Take a look outside
In the morning we may
Travel far away
To the places we call home
Before we leave let’s make a promise to hold dear
This day we shared and hope for many more
Christmas is love

What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Come have no fear
God's Son is here
His love all love preceding
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross he borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
