Christmas songs anyone!

So, I'm preparing for my Christmas lessons now -- making paper christmas trees, paper snowflakes... basically the works -- and I stumbled upon everyone's favorite christmas songs in JAPANESE!

So, I thought I'd put them up here for everyone to enjoy. You already know the tune, just read off the Japanese and you'll be singing Japanese-style Christmas songs before you know it!

Enjoy!!!
