THINKING OF CHRISTMAS Fluffy white clouds in a pretty blue sky A big yellow sun hangs up there The calendar says it’s December so I Go to look for a nip in the air But I’m wearing a t-shirt that says “Elf Antiques” Because it is 80 degrees And the lot down the block selling fresh trees and wreaths Might soon need to make it all free Still I’m thinking of Christmas I’m wondering where it could be Yes I’m thinking of Christmas And snow-ow-ow covered evergreen trees All the people are ‘blading and riding their bikes Instead of out group caroling And all of the street decorations and sights Look misplaced when it’s feeling like spring All the gift stores are empty despite the big sales Their windows just don’t do the trick Seems like everything done is just to no avail When the heat isn’t bringing St. Nick Still I’m thinking of Christmas I’m wondering where it could be Yes I’m thinking of Christmas And snow-ow-ow covered evergreen trees So I string my lights And I trim my tree I’ll make ready for Christmas just The way I know that it should be As I look to the sky I hope soon it will snow And that Christmas is never outgrown And thinking of families gathered, I know, That we never do Christmas alone Still I’m thinking of Christmas I’m wondering where it could be Yes I’m thinking of Christmas And snow-ow-ow covered evergreen trees Yeah, I’m thinking of Christmas! Well, I’m thinking of Christmas!

Christmas Is Coming (The New York State Thruway) The New York State Thruway’s a cold, lonely road In wintertime, north of Poughkeepsie And driving a semi through gale driven sleet Brings a warp speed effect – makes you dizzy. And it doesn’t help much that I’m missing you so Makes my mind drift to when we’re together But six exits later I come back to the road And I wonder just how did I get here Well, Christmas is comin’, there’s presents to buy So our kids can keep up with the Jones’ Yeah, Christmas is coming, there’s presents to buy So we don’t have to hear all their groans Been driving this rig for a day and a half Cause the money’s too good to reject it. So I lie to the owners and live on caffeine And I hope that my rig I don’t wreck it. And it isn‘t real easy to tell the white lines From the white snow that covers this roadway And it isn’t real easy keepin’ open my eyes But I still keep on haulin’ my loads, hey Because Christmas is comin’, there’s presents to buy So our kids can keep up with the Jones’ Yeah, Christmas is coming, there’s presents to buy So we don’t have to hear all their groans So I turn up my XM and listen real hard ‘Bout a mother who prays for deliverance. And I swear to that God if I get where I’m goin’ I’ll sleep for a day without hindrance. Oh yeah, Christmas is comin’, there’s presents to buy So our kids can keep up with the Jones’ Oh yeah, Christmas is coming, there’s presents to buy So we don’t have to hear all their groans

Now I Know It’s Christmas Time FalalalalaFalalalalaFalalalalaFalalala FalalalalaFalalalalaFalalalalaFalalala Santa ringing a bell, asking “Please, won’t you help” (Now I know it's Christmas time) Lights hung high over streets and a huge lighted tree (Now I know it's Christmas time) Blow up snowmen bobbing on a lawn in the breeze And next door a wooden white nativity I know it's Christmas time! FalalalalaFalalalalaFalalalalaFalalala People passing me say "Have a wonderful day!" (Now I know it's Christmas time) And the houses all glow while we wait for some snow. (Now I know it's Christmas time) Present shopping fills the malls most every night Kids all know and try to do only what's right They know it's Christmas time! FalalalalaFalalalalaFalalalalaFalalala With December Jack Frost chills the air Men with white beards fill up Santa chairs Songs that tell us of a holy night They’re part of the season’s signs that fill me with delight. I know it’s Christmas time! FalalalalaFalalalalaFalalalalaFalalala Cards we send and receive speak of what we believe (Now I know it's Christmas time) Wreaths we hang up with wire, stockings hung by the fire (Now I know it's Christmas time) Decorations passed from my parents to me Reinforces Christmas is about family. The love of Christmas time!

CHRISTMAS TIME FANTASIES Black skies and starlight, snowflakes in the air Christmas time fantasies dreamt everywhere Can there be such a place, filled with those dreams? Christmas time fantasies, in a moonbeam Grey mice and princes, a light covered tree Blue fairy princesses dance airily Snow covered palaces beckon to me Christmas time fantasies, in a moonbeam A snowy white quilt Pulled tight to her chin And I can see in her smile just where she’s been Toy soldiers march, reindeer fly above all Silly bear ambling with parasol Wonder filled lands; can you visit with me? Christmas time fantasies, in a moonbeam Grown up and grown old Can I still perceive The wonders my younger mind truly believed? Black skies and starlight, snowflakes in the air Christmas time fantasies dreamt everywhere Time can’t diminish the magic for me My Christmas time fantasies

MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS Christmas comes and in my mind I’m a child at night Driving with my family to see Christmas lights And I think of waking up, my brother by my side To stockings overflowing and presents piled so high Memories of Christmas With our star bright and lights red and green and blue Memories of Christmas I’ll make memories of Christmas with you Now I’m grown and I’m with you and I clearly see Decorations that we bought, on our Christmas tree Makes me smile just knowing that come this Christmas morn You’ll wish me “Merry Christmas,” and the day will be reborn Memories of Christmas With our star bright and lights red and green and blue Memories of Christmas I’ll make memories of Christmas with you Christmas present makes memories That we hold on to That we can taste and smell and touch and hear and see We’ll have kids and as they grow, I know they will find Christmas joys with family I once had with mine You and I will make it so with our love, my dear Happy family memories of Christmas every year Memories of Christmas With our star bright and lights red and green and blue Memories of Christmas I’ll make memories of Christmas I’ll make memories of Christmas I’ll make memories of Christmas with you

Christmas In Mind Wrapping of presents for Christmas morn Back hurts, we’re tired; paper gets torn Biting our tongues when the tape we can’t find Trying so hard to keep Christmas in mind Wrapping of presents for Christmas morn In our beds we have to Back hurts, we’re tired, paper gets torn stay We can’t wait for Christmas Biting our tongues when the tape we can’t find day Presents underneath the Trying so hard to keep Christmas in mind tree Hope some are for me Eight weeks of shopping so Christmas is right We know that on Christmas Trudging through malls strung with sparkling lights Eve To the good kids who be- Even when pushed, we try hard to be kind lieve Santa and his reindeer Sometimes it’s hard to keep Christmas in mind fly Presents piled so high Is there more of Christmas that we all should keep in mind? Peace on earth and joy to all and love for all mankind? Isn’t that what Christmas time is really all about? Could we see the majesty if we did without? Hearth filled with fire, tree filled with lights Have another Christmas Drinking some eggnog, holding my wife dream May be hard, or so it Watching a movie, a life’s redefined seems That we’ll always be We found our way to keep Christmas in mind inclined To keep Christmas in mind We’ll keep Christmas in mind We’ll keep, we’ll keep, we’ll keep Christmas in mind We’ll keep, we’ll keep, we’ll keep Christmas in

MISSING CHRISTMAS January blizzard Sitting by the fire Look around at empty walls and shelves Where are all the red hats And the stocking holders? Everything’s so drab without our elves And I’m just missing Christmas Everywhere I go, people seems to know That I’m just missing Christmas No more lighted trees for all to see Yes, I’m just missing Christmas, missing Christmas Sitting here with my wife Know I have a good life But it’s better when it’s Christmas time Christmas cakes and candy See extended family Such a letdown when it’s all behind And I’m just missing Christmas Everywhere I go, people seems to know That I’m just missing Christmas No more lighted trees for all to see Appears that winter’s gloom Is amplified By Christmas signs no longer here We are all affected, we’re dissatisfied We need our Christmas decorations near Two more months of winter Then the spring and summer Autumn lets anticipation rise Come Thanksgiving weekend Christmas songs and movies Christmas season spirit now applies And I’m just missing Christmas Everywhere I go, people seems to know That I’m just missing Christmas No more lighted trees for all to see Yes, I’m just missing Christmas, missing Christmas
