Head to your church to find collections of traditional Christmas songs for your family. Churches hold special events around Christmas to highlight the birth of Jesus Christ as well as the end of the calendar year. You should speak with your pastor or musical coordinator to get the best lyrics for your needs.
Spice up your Christmas-singing experience with spoof lyrics on popular songs. There are hundreds of spoofs and satirical songs that poke fun at the commercial nature of the Christmas holiday. You should review lyrics for questionable material or language before singing them in public.
Listen to local and Internet radio stations devoted entirely to Christmas music in your search for lyrics. You can write down lyrics for old classics or newer songs that you have not encountered before. Use call-in request shows at local stations as an opportunity to hear songs with lyrics you desire.
Review the cover material for Christmas CDs and records in your collection to find lyrics to a particular song. Most record labels that put out holiday records publish a full list of lyrics to encourage singing by everyone who listens. You can contact the record label directly if there are no lyrics available.
Mix your purchase of Christmas merchandise with your need for traditional holiday lyrics to save money. Calendars, posters and other Christmas-themed products will feature the words to popular songs as a way of highlighting the holiday spirit. You should only use this approach if you need this merchandise, as this is not effective as a primary tool for collecting lyrics.
Track down lyrics from past Christmas celebrations by maintaining an organized collection of lyric sheets. You should use a uniform system of copying lyrics whether it is transcribing lyrics to a word processor or finding a publication featuring every Christmas song you need. Keep this collection in an accordion folder with Christmas decorations for easy retrieval.
