The Christmas Song
Natalie Cole Lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Imagine yourself gathered around an open flame with chestnuts boiling while enjoying a warmer indoor atmosphere

Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Outdoors can be chilly, and if you're not completely bundled up, you could feel the frost biting your skin as an unexpected pinch

Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
The sound of a group of people collectively singing Christmas music permeates the air with the spirit of the holiday season

Folks dressed up like Eskimos
Many people choose to wear thick layers of clothing to keep warm in the winter, similar to those that native Alaskans might don

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Many people incorporate certain traditional and festive staples such as turkey and mistletoe to create a fun and festive atmosphere

Helps to make the season bright
These holiday staples are essential to making the season feel warm, cozy, and festive

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Children are wide-eyed and eager to soak up every moment of the holiday season because of its excitement and joy

Will find it hard to sleep tonight
Due to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the impending holiday, it can be tough for children to fall asleep on Christmas eve

They know that Santa's on his way
Children are aware and excited for the arrival of Santa Claus, who they know will be coming soon to deliver gifts

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Santa Claus will be carrying many toys and treats to give out to children as he makes his deliveries

And every mother's child is gonna spy
All children will surely be on the lookout as they hope to catch a glimpse of Santa Clause when he will be landing on their rooftop

To see if reindeer really know how to fly
They await and wonder, astonished, to see whether reindeers can actually fly, a feat that they've only seen in fantasies

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To extend my warm wishes and wishes of happiness to everyone during this festive season

To kids from one to ninety-two
This phrase is intended for anyone, whether a child or an adult, as we all love to engross ourselves into the Christmas season, regardless of age

Although it's been said many times, many ways
This message is a classic that has been expressed many times, in many different forms, but its sentiment is still one of love and holiday cheer

Merry Christmas to you
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and are filled with nothing but joy and happiness this holiday season

Merry Christmas, have a Merry Christmas
I wish you a Merry Christmas, and I reaffirm that you have a joyful time with your loved ones during this holiday season.

Merry Christmas to you
Once again, I wish you a Merry Christmas, hoping that your heart is filled with nothing but warmth and contentment this holiday season.
