JJ Heller's rendition of the classic Christmas song "Christmas Is Here" captures the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere of the holiday season. The lyrics paint a picture of traditional winter scenes, from roasting chestnuts to carolers singing, and mention familiar elements like turkey, mistletoe, and Santa Claus. The song expresses a warm, simple wish of "Merry Christmas" to everyone, from children to the elderly. While it is a secular holiday tune, it is often associated with the festive spirit of Christmas and is commonly played during the Christmas season.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
