a)

The song Frosty the Snowman goes like this:

\n
\"Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman\"
\n
\n

b)

An extract from Clement Clarke Moore's \"A Visit from St. Nicholas\":

\n
\"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
\n
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
\n
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
\n
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
...
\n
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
\n
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
\n
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
\n
\"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
\n
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
\n
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!\"
\n

c)

Holly has the red berries, mistletoe the white. Don't forget or you could be hanging around, puckered up under the Holly for a while...

d)
