Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a new holiday standard that reflected the fun and the joy of the season. I made of a list of the fun happy things I have enjoyed throughout my life. There are enough carols and songs about magic and good will. This one is just for the fun!

Lyrics
Christmas if my favorite time of year
Hearts are filled with joy and charity and cheer
Reminiscing brings a smile, a laugh, a tear
Christmastime is my favorite time of year
Christmas is my favorite, don't ya know
Couples steal a kiss beneath the mistletoe
Choirs carol door to door out in the snow
Christmastime is my favorite, don't ya know.
The kids can't wait for Christmas day
The jingle bells are on the sleigh
And that's how they know Santa's on his way!
Christmas is my favorite time of all
Bows on packages from friends who come to call
Rush to do last minute shopping at the mall
Christmastime is my favorite time of all
(Instrumental bridge)
So deck the halls and trim the tree
And make a Christmas memory
The old traditions mean so much to me!
Christmas is my favorite thing to do
Spike the eggnog and we'll drink that Christmas brew
Sing the same old songs and make them sound brand new
Christmastime is my favorite
So raise a glass and savor it
And let the bells all chime
I love Christmastime!
