Lyrics
When the reindeer cross the sky
Christmas time is here
Sound of sleigh bells passing by
We know that Santa's near
When the children awake to a wonderful sight
Of presents that Santa Claus left in the night
Dawn breaks crisp and bright
Christmas time is here
When the snowflakes start to fall
Christmas time is here
When your friends and loved ones call
To wish you Christmas cheer
When you all build a snowman
On a night that's cold and clear
From your toes, to the tip of your nose
Christmas time is here
There's turkey for dinner and pudding with cream
And everyone raises a glass in between
To distant relations that they haven't seen for years
When the snowflakes start to fall
Christmas time is here
When your friends and loved ones call
To wish you Christmas cheer
When you all build a snowman
On a night that's cold and clear
From your toes, to the tip of your nose
Christmas time is here
Christmas time is here
