When the Christmas time draws near We think of joys and Christmas cheer Of Santa with his reindeer and his sleigh But long ago, we should recall, The Bethlehem Babe was born for all To show the world the life, the truth, the way The spirit of Christmas Is the spirit of Love It's something that you cannot buy, It's something from above The presents that you give and get Are nothing but a token For if they don't come filled with love, The Christmas spirit's broken Just singing Christmas carols and Just ringing Jingle Bells Means nothing if you do not know The story that it tells So, 'midst the din and tinsel as you Trim the Christmas tree Let a newborn love enfold you Embrace you, uphold you; That's the true idea of Christmas That's what Christmas means to me
