Christmas is music and family in town
Christmas is Snoopy and Charlie brown
It's anticipating that snow's gonna fall
And praying for someplace to park at the mall
It's mom going crazy cause the turkey got burned
It's saying thanks for some gift you'll return
Christmas is caroling kids at your door
It's paper and ribbon all over the floor
Christmas is coming, Christmas is near
I've been counting down the days all year
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is rooftops covered in lights
It's away in a manger, it's a wonderful life
Christmas is caring for those who got nothing
It's dropping your change in the bell ringer's bucket
Christmas is coming, Christmas is near
I've been counting down the days all year
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is all of these fun things for sure
But, Christmas is really, oh so much more
It's good news of hope for the whole world because
Christmas is Jesus!
Christmas is coming, Christmas is near
I've been counting down the days
I've been counting down the days
I've been counting down the days all year
Christmas is almost here
