Subject: RE: New Xmas/Solstice/Hanukkah/Kwansaa Songs
Also from Harry Belafonte (Hey, I didn't know all that Longfellow stuff, good to know!):

The first good joy that Solstice brings it is the joy of one
To see the stars shine down on us and know how they'd begun
To know how they'd begun, good friends, to know how they'd begun
To see the stars shine down on us and know how they'd begun

The next good joy that solstice brings, it is the joy of two
When carols ring midwinter's night to bring the year in new...

The...three
Of giving presents to your kin delighted smiles to see...

The...four
Of green like wreaths and mistletoe decked out inside your door...
The last... five
The message of goodwill to all forever kept alive...
