lyrics

Sitting back reflecting on this time of year
Kind of makes me laugh and smile, even shed a few tears
Like, watching my nieces string the Christmas lights
All around that big old tree what a beautiful sight
Pre Chorus
Having them close, feeling love surrounding me
Is everything Christmas is supposed to be

It’s not the presents or the tree
It’s not the snow or caroling
But the blessings never end
With friends and family
The’s what Christmas is to me

Mama in the kitchen cooking through the night
Paw Paw after every phrase saying, “That’s alright”
My grandma looking like a queen in her favorite chair
Telling tales of Christmas throughout the years

Laughing with my best friend until we cry
Planning our futures by the fireside

It’s not the presents or the tree
It’s not the snow or caroling
But the blessings never end
With friends and family
The’s what Christmas is to me

My nieces are women now, fully grown
Best friend’s got a little girl and a family of her own
Paw Paw and grammy from this world aware long gone
And I’m in this city, facing each day alone

This time of year can be hard, but the truth you see
Is love will always be there in your memories

It’s not the presents or the tree
It’s not the snow or caroling
But the blessings never end
With friends and family

The’s what Christmas is to me
Not the presents or the tree
It’s not the snow or caroling
But knowing I’ll always have my family near
With the love they bring
Is what Christmas is to me
