It's Christmas Lyrics

I can remember back when we were small
We would start counting the days 'till it all
Would begin once again, the most magic of times
That started us dreaming of wonders we'd find

The down from the attic our father would bring
Boxes of ornaments, tinsel and things
Like old family treasures, a wreath for the door
It was almost like we'd never seen them before

It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe
It's Christmas
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
It's Christmas
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
It's Christmas

With each passing day, the excitement would rise
When no one was looking, my brother and I
Would peek at the presents wrapped so prettily
And carefully put them back under the tree

When Christmas Eve came, we could finally say
That morning would only be one sleep away
We were so excited by what lay ahead
That Timmy and I would go straight off to bed

It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe
It's Christmas
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
It's Christmas
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
It's Christmas

Then we'd get up early and run down the hall
To wake up our parents, and then we would all
Still in our pyjamas, pass the gifts out
While wrappings and ribbons were thrown all about

It's Christmas
We'll put up the holly and mistletoe
It's Christmas
See the soft coloured lights through the falling snow
It's Christmas
Cards to be sent, carols to be sung
It's Christmas
