Stockings are on the mantle
Music is in the air
All the lights are on the tree
And love is everywhere

I hear a song of long ago
About the Father's Son
I love all the holidays
But not as much as this one

Chorus:
Why I love Christmas
It's a special time of year
Why I love Christmas
Bringin' hope and lots of cheer
The child that was born on that mornin'
Brought the gift of salvation to us
Thats's why I love Christmas

The children are excited
'Cause now it's Christmas Eve
They're anticipatin'
What Santa Claus will leave

When I see all the presents
In boxes and pretty bows
I picture baby Jesus
Wrapped in swaddling clothes

Repeat Chorus

The child that was born on that mornin'
Brought the gift of salvation to us
That's why I love Christmas
That's why I love Christmas
