Matthew West's 'Come On, Christmas' is a joyful, upbeat holiday song that captures the eager anticipation of the Christmas season. The lyrics express excitement for the festivities, from keeping lights up all year to waiting for Santa Claus, and highlight the warmth of family gatherings and the nostalgic feeling of being a child again. While it's a secular Christmas tune, it celebrates the joy and togetherness of the season, which aligns with the spirit of Christmas. The song doesn't focus on the religious aspects of Christmas, but its cheerful tone and themes of anticipation and celebration make it a fitting addition to Christmas music collections.

Merry Christmas everybody
Welcome to the story house, we're ready to get in the Christmas spirit with you
We hope you're ready for the time of your lives
Come on, let's go, hey
I kept the lights up all year round
I just couldn't bear the thought of taking 'em down
I've been singing "Jingle Bell Rock" since July
All the neighbors look at me like I'm crazy, but I, I
I got a feeling that I just can't shake, you see it's
Lasted three hundred sixty four days, and now I'm
I'm too excited, I can't sleep a wink, and
I stare at the snow outside my window just thinking
Come on, Christmas
I don't know why you're taking so long, Christmas
See, I been waiting all year for you to get here
And I can't take another second, can't you hear me begging?
Hurry up, Santa Claus
Here's my number just in case your reindeer get lost
And I sure wouldn't mind, if you're early this time, yeah
Just, come on, come on, come on, Christmas, hey
Come on, Christmas, yeah
Well, there's just something about this time of year
You can feel the excitement in the air
Everyone's hanging with family and friends
And it's making you feel like a kid once again
Steal a kiss under the mistletoe
While old Bing sings, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow"
The only thing that's left on my Christmas list is
I'm hoping to catch a peek of old' St. Nick
Come on, Christmas
I don't know why you're taking so long, Christmas
See, I been waiting all year for you to get here
And I can't take another second, can't you hear me begging?
Hurry up, Santa Claus
Here's my number just in case your reindeer get lost
And I sure wouldn't mind, if you're early this time, yeah
Just, come on, come on, come on, Christmas, hey
Come on, Christmas, yeah
Hearts are racing all around the world
Smiling faces on the boys and girls
Waiting just to hear those sleigh bells ring
Singing, come on, Christmas do your thing
Come on, Christmas
I don't know why you're taking so long, Christmas
See, I been waiting all year for you to get here
And I can't take another second, can't you hear me begging?
Hurry up, Santa Claus
Here's my number just in case your reindeer get lost
And I sure wouldn't mind, if you're early this time, yeah
Just, come on, come on, come on, Christmas, hey
Come on, Christmas, yeah
(Hearts are racing all around the world)
Hearts are racing
(Come on, Christmas)
Come on, Christmas
I can't wait any longer
And the feel is getting stronger
So what you're waiting for?
Come on, come on, come on, Christmas
