Christmas Spirit

Outside, the world is bleak,
There's not a flake of snow on the ground,
But the spirit's the thing we all love,
And you can see it all around.
Christmas carols are everywhere,
And it doesn't matter if you stay on pitch,
Because it's Christmas,
And everyone can sing without a hitch.
I can smell apple pie,
Christmas cookies in the oven,
Snowmen and trees and angels,
Baking by the dozen.
"Merry Christmas, Darling"
Is always in my heart
And I can't wait for the mistletoe
To be hung far above - from it, I'll not part.
In the air,
There's a feeling of joy,
A feeling of peace
For each girl and each boy.
And for those of us who know,
We are grateful for the thing
That, in this season,
Makes us sing.
We know Christ was born
To give us hope of a new day,
When together we will be
Forever and always.
We remember that He,
The Babe and the King,
Is our reason...
The only reason that we sing.
