Hanukkah is here at last,

Here at last here at last.

Hanukkah is here at last.

Oh what fun we'll have.

Happily, happily.

The candles burn so happily

Gift Giving

Viking Council

Tune: I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing

I'd like to give the world a gift,
that all men will be free.
And though I'm just a growing boy,
There's things that I can see.

To see that Scouting is a way,
To start to understand.
That caring, helping, smiling, learning
Help me be a man.

And so at Christmas here's a gift,
That you can give to me
Please help me grow in mind and spirit,
To be what I can be.

When You're Helping And You Know It

Chief Seattle Council

Tune: If You're Happy And You Know It

When you're helping and you know it lend a hand

When you're giving and you show it things are grand.

If you're helping and you're giving

Then you help make life worth living.

Keep on helping, keep on giving, take a stand.

Joy To The Cubs

Chief Seattle Council

Tune: Joy To The World

Joy to the world, our Cubs are here. 

Let all the pack rejoice.

Their badges they have earned today.

Award them now without delay

Let all the pack now cheer

Let all the pack now cheer.

For those Cub Scouts who advanced today.

Winter Snow Seattle Style

Chief Seattle Council

Tune: Edelweiss

Winter snow, winter snow,

Each December you tease me.

Darkened skies, threatening clouds

I expect snowflakes to greet me.

Flurries of white may you fall on me

Fall on me just one time.

If they fall, they don't last

I guess I'll go to Snoqualmie Pass.

Slow

Chief Seattle Council

Tune: Where Has My Little Dog Gone

Oh why, oh why, hasn't Santa come yet?

Oh why ‑ does anyone know?

If he'd trade his sleigh for a modern jet,

He wouldn't be so slow!

Helping Santa Claus

Tune: Up On The Housetop

Down 'in the basement Cub Scouts pause,

They are helping Santa Claus.

Toys, games and puzzles and goodies, too.

Make children happy, yes they do.

Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?

Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?

Out helping Santa, click, click, click.

Try a goodwill project quick, quick, quick.

Reindeer Poky

Santa Clara County Council

(Tune: The Hokey Poky)

You put your antlers in. You put your antlers out.
You put you antlers in and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer Poky and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!

Additional verses -

You put your hooves in....
You put your red nose in....
You put your fluffy tail in...
You put your reindeer body in...

Oh, Saint Nicholas

Old St. Nicholas had a tree

        (form tree with arms)
Ho, ho ho ho ho!
And on that tree he had some horns

        (blow horns)
Ho ho ho ho ho

Here a toot There a toot
Every where a toot toot
