Oh it’s that time of the year
that brings us much joy and much cheer
when the family’s in town
and there’s children all around
Joy is what we all share, joy is what we all share

It’s that one special day
that makes us feel happy and gay
when sleigh bells are ringing
and the choir is singing
it’s a great holiday, oh it’s a great holiday

(Chorus)
Cold winter nights
and Christmas tree lights
wrapped around the pine tree
and children can always be found
where the snow is fresh on the ground
that means Christmas to me
oh that means Christmas to me

The snow is so fresh and white
it’s a wonderful sight
Christmas time jingles
and little snow angles
all on Christmas eve night, yes only on Christmas eve night

Presents are under the tree
and there’s some for you and for me
when the stockings are hung
and the carols are sung
that’s when we’ll trim the tree, it’s time to trim the tree

(Chorus)
Cold winter nights
and Christmas tree lights
wrapped around the pine tree
and children can always be found
where the snow is fresh on the ground
that means Christmas to me
oh that means Christmas to me

(Bridge)
Waiting for Santa to show
sure makes a child’s smile grow
with joy in his eyes
waiting for a Christmas surprise

(Out-Chorus)
Cold winter nights
and Christmas tree lights
wrapped around the pine tree
and children can always be found
where the snow is fresh on the ground
that means Christmas to me
oh that means Christmas to me
