The stockings are on the mantle
Music is in the air
All the lights are on the tree
And love is everywhere
I hear a song of long ago
About the fathers son
I love all the holidays
But not as much as this one

Why I love Christmas
It's a special time of year
Why I love Christmas
Bringing hope and lots of cheer
The child born on that morning brought the gift of salvation to us
That's why I love Christmas

The children are excited
Cause now it's Christmas ever
They're anticipating what Santa Claus will leave
When I see all the presents and boxes and pretty bows
I picture baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes

Why I love Christmas
It's a special time of year
Why I love Christmas
Bringing hope and lots of cheer
The child born on that morning brought the gift of salvation to us
That's why I love Christmas

The child born on that morning brought the gift of salvation to us
That's why I love Christmas

That's why I love Christmas
