Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la

When I was young every Christmas Eve
I could not sleep
Trying to catch that old St. Nick
Leaving presents under my tree
And every year I'd fall asleep laying in my bed
Dreaming of a million sugarplums
Dancing in my head

Oh how much joy it is at Christmas time
The spirit of giving is in our lives
Oh, oh how much joy it brings to see the ones you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas because

There'll be family and Christmas cheer (oh ooh)
Peace and goodwill to all men (ooh)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (let it snow)
Everybody is home for Christmas (ooh)
Everybody is home for Christmastime

Friends come together as we decorate the tree
This is the time of year to live in harmony
Angels watch over as we put the kids to sleep
And when they awake their smiling faces
Make it all complete, oh

This is the holiday you're with the family
We put aside our differences and let it be
Oh, oh how much fun it is to give and to receive
This time of year, love is all we need, oh

There'll be family (family) and Christmas cheer (oh)
Peace and goodwill to all men
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (oh yeah)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime

It's Christmas time
Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la, fa la la la la la la

Open your heart now
This is the time for us to give
The world needs love now
So live and let live, families all here
The spirit is good cheer, the sound of carolers
Ringing sweet in my ear, everything is all fine
You know why, it's Christmastime, what

Oh how much joy it is at Christmas time
The spirit of giving is in our lives
Oh, oh how much joy it brings to see the ones you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas because

There'll be family (family) and Christmas cheer (oh)
Peace and goodwill to all men
Everybody is home for Christmas (oh)
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe (mistletoe)
I want a white Christmas so let it snow
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime
It's Christmastime
It's Christmastime
It's Christmastime, oh yeah

Everybody is home for Christmas (oh)
Everybody is home (everybody is home)
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe (let it snow)
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (let it snow)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime

You need family, gifts under the tree
Everybody is home for Christmas (home for Christmas)
Everybody is home
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas so let it snow (oh ooh oh)
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home it's Christmastime

When I was young every Christmas Eve
As a child, on every Christmas Eve


I could not sleep
I was too excited to fall asleep


Trying to catch that old St. Nick
Hoping to spot Santa Claus


Leaving presents under my tree
Leaving gifts for me under the Christmas tree


And every year I'd fall asleep laying in my bed
And every year I would eventually fall asleep while lying in my bed


Dreaming of a million sugarplums
Dreaming of an endless number of sweet and delightful things


Dancing in my head
Filling my imagination with vivid and joyful scenes


Oh how much joy it is at Christmas time
Oh, how immensely joyful Christmas time is

We are filled with the spirit of generosity and charity


Oh, oh how much joy it brings to see the ones you love
Oh, how much happiness it brings to be with those you love during this time

Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
Sharing a secret kiss under the decoration hung for those in love

Friends gather together to decorate a Christmas tree


This is the time of year to live in harmony
This is the time to live in peace and unity

The spirit is cheerful, with the sound of carolers singing

No artist this generation can compete with the old xtina. At that age she sang, danced and hit high notes all in one performance. She was the queen and still remains untouched.
