The Platters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And share a cup of cheer
It's that time to cease our labors
For Christmas time is here
Yes, Christmas time is here
And then comes the New Year!
So drink a toast to good old merry Christmas
The best holiday of the year
In "Christmas Time," The Platters invite us to come together as friends and neighbors to enjoy the arrival of Christmas. The lyrics encourage us to take a break from our routine to celebrate. It's a holiday that unites people and brings families, friends, and communities together. The Platters remind us that this time of year is characterized by happiness, joy, and love, so we should see it as an opportunity to put our labor aside and relax with our loved ones. The song makes it clear that Christmas is not only time to focus on the present, but also to look to the future as the New Year is just around the corner.

Gather 'round old friends and neighbors
Come together and join your friends and neighbors
And share a cup of cheer
Drink and enjoy yourselves
It's that time to cease our labors
It's time to relax and stop working
For Christmas time is here
Because it's time for Christmas
Yes, Christmas time is here
Christmas really has arrived
And then comes the New Year!
After Christmas, the New Year follows
So drink a toast to good old merry Christmas
Raise your glasses and wish everyone a merry Christmas
The best holiday of the year
Christmas is the most wonderful holiday of them all

My parents had this Christmas album back in the days of vinyl. Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, we would pull out this as well as other classics and stack them up on the turntable. Great memories!
