I started searching for the song that was mentioned by "ev" and by Dar Mueller above, that begins: “A is for the apple that hangs upon the tree” and I haven’t found it (yet) but I found this, which, I suppose, isn’t the same song but may be worth having in its own right: From The Merry-go-round by Carolyn Wells (New York: R. H. Russell, 1901), page 151: A CHRISTMAS ALPHABET A is for Apple that hangs on the tree. B is for Bells that chime out in glee. C is for Candy to please boys and girls. D is for Dolls with long flaxen curls. E is for Evergreens decking the room. F is for Flowers of exquisite perfume. G is for Gifts that bring us delight. H is for Holly with red berries bright. I is for Ice so shining and clear. J is the Jingle of bells far and near. K is Kriss Kringle with fur cap and coat. L is for Letters the children all wrote. M is for Mistletoe, shining like wax. N is for Nuts which Grandpapa cracks. O is for Oranges, yellow and sweet. P for Plum Pudding, a holiday treat. Q the Quadrille in which each one must dance. R for the Reindeer that gallop and prance. S is for Snow that falls silently down. T is for Turkey, so tender and brown. U is for Uproar that goes on all day. V is for Voices that carol a lay. W for Wreaths hung up on the wall. X is for Xmas, with pleasures for all. Y is for Yule-log that burns clear and bright Z is for Zest shown from morning till night.
