Story Behind The Song
I bought into the whole Santa and Christmas stories when I was young. But, like most adults lost that sense of magic over the years. But Christmas can be special for adults in a different way. And adults have an important role in teaching kids about the meaning of Christmas.
Song Description
The way we experience Christmas changes from when we're kids to when we're adults. Adults make Christmas special for kids (by instilling a sense of magic and caring associated with Christmas.. stories, songs, traditions, etc.) and vice versa -adults can reconnect with that sense of magic through kids. .

Lyrics
The Soul of Christmas © R. Yeardley 12/2019
When I was young I listened for old Santa Christmas eve
The magic left, I struggled with what Christmas meant to me
I realized that all of my great Christmas memories
Like toys under a shining tree, were lit by family
Christmas is for the young who feel its magic
Christmas is for the old, who feel its soul
The old through actions, stories and songs [CHORUS]
Teach the young, pass the message along
We should all be together at Christmas
We should all be together at Christmas
Grandpa reads a Christmas tale, a cold and starry night
Relives a joy from years ago, amid the kids' delight
Actions, joined with tales and songs, are how the love is passed
When told and sung from old to young, they form a bond that lasts
[CHORUS]
[Solo]
Christmas is for the young who feel its magic
Christmas is for the old, who feel its soul
Christmas is for the young who feel its magic
Christmas is for the old, who feel its soul
We should all be together,
We should all be together,
We should all be together at Christmas
