Story Behind The Song
This song was written right after Christmas, upon realizing that after all the hectic holiday season is over, it's great to just kick back with your lover. Maybe the best day is the 26th, when just about nothing happens.

It's Christmas Eve, all of the shopping and rushing around has been done. What else is there to do but kick back with some Christmas cheer, and enjoy being with the one you love, listening for sleighbells, watching the snow fall, and hearing angels sin

Lyrics
Christmastime for You and Me
(CHORUS)
Ooh, it's Christmas
The presents are under the tree
Ooh, it's Christmas
And it's time for you and me
The stores are closed, no, can't shop no more
If we forgot you please don't keep score
Santa's ready to make his run
C'mon baby let's have some fun
CHORUS
Can't bake my cookies 'cause I've got no flour
What can we do with an extra hour
Egg nog tastes so good with rum
C'mon baby let's have some fun
CHORUS
(BRIDGE)
I think I hear those old sleighbells ringing
Or a choir of angels singing
Snow outside is such a glorious sight
It's an old fashioned Christmas night
My favorite day is the twenty-sixth
I'm staying home and that's about it
Sleep 'til noon and get up at two
Tell me how does that sound to you
CHORUS
