NOTE: In 1954 three Carols "Caroling, Caroling", "We'll Dress the House" and "The Star Carol" were composed. Only The Star Carol was sent out as a Christmas greeting. That Christmas card can be seen on the "The Star Carol" page.

We'll dress the house with holly bright
and sprigs of mistletoe.
We'll trim the Christmas tree tonight
and set the lights aglow.
We'll wrap our gifts with ribbons gay
and give them out on Christmas day.
By everything we do and say,
our gladness we will show.

We'll dress the table daintily,
Our finest treasures use,
That all a-sparkle it may be
And bright with lovely hues.
Then for the feasting we'll prepare
a kitchen full of wondrous fare,
That each from all the dishes rare,
his fav'rite one may choose. 

And ye who would the Christ child greet,
your heart also adorn,
That it may be a dwelling meet
for Him who now is born.
Let all unlovely things give place
to souls bedecked with heavenly grace,
That ye may view His holy face
with joy on Christmas morn.

We'll dress the house with holly bright
and sprigs of mistletoe.
We'll trim the Christmas tree tonight
and set the lights aglow.
We'll wrap our gifts with ribbons gay
and give them out on Christmas day.
By everything we do and say,
our gladness we will show.
