It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Michael Bublé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door

Sure, it's Christmas once more

I wish he would make another Christmas album. It's been a decade

@thevoicelesswriter

He should collaborate with Lady Gaga for a Christmas album.

@alexandersherwood7617

Yes indeed!

@@seepaoloap Many people don't treat Christmas as a Christian holiday. Did you not see the Jewish family in this video? Plus, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett actually did a holiday ad singing a song commonly related to the holidays.
