Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Sleigh bells in the air
And beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Christmas time is here
Families drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

One of the bestest Christmas songs to come along in quite a while! What a rockin', shufflin', toe-tappin, "sing along while you're drivin' and play drums on the steering wheel" tune! The lead guitar work reminiscent of Brian Setzer or Chris Isaak is awesome!

I'm singing this song at the Christmas play at my church this year. I really like how this is such an upbeat song and is very different than most songs.
