Sidewalk Prophets' 'Great Big Family Christmas' is a cheerful holiday song that celebrates the joy of gathering with loved ones during the Christmas season. The lyrics paint a picture of winter activities like making snow angels and sledding, but the heart of the song is about the warmth of family and friends. It connects this festive spirit to the Christian meaning of Christmas, referencing the Baby in a manger who made family from strangers, and invites everyone to join the celebration.

The air is getting colder
The world is all aglow
It's the perfect time to bundle up
And make some angels in the snow
Stockings, sledding, old St. Nick
And carols in the street
What I love most about this time of year
Is seeing friends and family
I'm talking
Sleigh bells and reindeer
And the loved ones we hold near
We'll have a great big family Christmas
Gather around the tree
For the great big family Christmas
Let's celebrate the King
Let's deck the halls with laughter
And light up the town square up with joy
So that those who see, will know we're all family
And this party's free to join
I'm talking about sisters and dear friends
And shepherds and wisemen
You know the Baby in a manger
Made family from strangers
We'll have a great big family Christmas
Gather around the tree
For the great big family Christmas
Let's celebrate the King
We'll have a great big family Christmas
Gather around the tree
For the great big family Christmas
Now everybody sing
Fa-la-la-la la-la-la
Fa-la-la-la-la-la
No matter where you end up
On this Christmas day
Your family's with you in your heart
Whether home or far away
