Lyrics
DECEMBER 25th
I brought the boxes down from the attic
They're filled with Christmas treasures
One by one, I take them out
Remembering past Christmas pleasures
The rocking horse, Barbies and teddy bears
Are placed in just the right spots
The Flexible Flyer rests against the wall
While poinsettias grow in flowerpots
Gingerbread houses and gumdrop trees
Compete for attention
Dreaming of entering a contest
Wanting, at least, an honorable mention
Pre-Chorus: Burl Ives and the Chipmunks sing carols
As generations bridge the gap
Chorus: The folklore is told through stories
And remembered throughout the years
Every Christmas is here, all-in-one
By tradition, the magic appears
December 25th is sweeping down on us
Red and white stockings for everyone
Each with its own name
Wait to be filled with little goodies
And topped with a candy cane
Garland spirals the banister
Holiday throws wake up the walls
Sprayed snow dresses the windows
Christmas decks the halls
Pre-Chorus: Gifts are piled under the tree
Showing off their Christmas wrap
Chorus: The folklore is told through stories
And remembered throughout the years
Every Christmas is here, all-in-one
By tradition, the magic appears
December 25th is sweeping down on us
Nutcrackers standing at attention
Toy soldiers are marching in place
Carolers lip syncing "O Holy Night"
Matchbox cars are holding a race
An evergreen tree takes center stage
With colored balls and twinkling lights
It's a rainbow of extravagance
To add more magic to the nights
Candles flicker in the windows
Adorning angels made of lace
The nativity holds center stage
Depicting Jesus in His birthplace
Pre-Chorus: The cookies are baked, the pies are done
Tempting the Christmas mouse
Chorus: The folklore is told through the stories
And remembered throughout the years
Every Christmas is here, all-in-one
By tradition, the magic appears
December 25th is sweeping down on us
Tag: We wish, we hope, we pray
The family will all be together
For another Christmas Day
The mistletoe waits in the archway
For love that's coming and going
The excitement is starting to fill the air
And, at last, it's snowing.
