If you are in a group of peopleat Christmas time, have them all stand in a circle holding hands. Then start singing "Welcome Christmas" from "The Grinch that Stole Christmas" like all the Whos in Whoville and see if everybody doesn't smile.

"Fah who for-aze dah who dor-aze" is basically pseudo Latin that just sounds good, it brings out that we are in Suess's world, for my heart grew 3 sizes larger that day.

From Suess.com, hope this isn't tantamonting to copyright crime.

Welcome Christmas (both versions)

Author: Dr. Seuss

This is the song sung by the Whos of Whoville on Christmas. The first version is probably more suited for simple caroling, and the second for more choir oriented activities. The first is sung while the Grinch watches from on high, and the second is at the end (maybe during the closing credits - I don't recall off-hand).

Welcome Christmas Welcome Christmas
(Reprise)
Fah who for-aze! Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze! Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome Christmas, Welcome Christmas,
Come this way! Come this way!
Fah who for-aze! Fah who for-aze!
Dah who dor-aze! Dah who dor-aze!
Welcome Christmas, Welcome Christmas,
Christmas Day. Christmas Day.
Welcome, Welcome Welcome, Welcome
