Christmas Cards
Christmas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's an old Christmas card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet memories dear to me
'Though it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an old Christmas card
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental
About this time, every year
But every time I see a Christmas card
I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together
What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year
Why I know you must have looked through thousands of cards
To find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time




Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an old Christmas card

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Christmas Cards" speak to the sentimental value that an old Christmas card holds for the singer. The first verse introduces the idea of an old Christmas card being found in an old dusty trunk, which immediately triggers sweet memories and nostalgia. Despite its faded appearance, the card is considered as precious as the morning when it was discovered beneath their first Christmas tree. This notion implies that the card symbolizes the beginning of a special time in the singer's life.


The second verse reveals that whenever the singer sees a Christmas card, they cannot help but reminisce about the first Christmas they spent together with the person to whom the song is addressed. The card from that year was particularly beautiful and held a poem that still brings tears to their eyes. This suggests that the sender had taken great care in selecting a card that would deeply touch the recipient's heart.


The repetition of the line "I thrill with every word, every line" emphasizes the emotional impact of the card's message. It suggests that the sender's words were so powerful and meaningful that they continue to evoke strong emotions within the singer. Furthermore, the singer admits to being consistently sentimental around this time of year, hinting at the deep connection they feel with the holiday season and the memories associated with it.


Lastly, the line "Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer" exemplifies the bittersweet emotions that the singer experiences when reflecting on the old Christmas card. It conveys a mix of joy and sadness, as the card serves as a reminder of cherished memories, possibly associated with a person who may no longer be present or a relationship that may have changed over time. Ultimately, "Christmas Cards" speaks to the lasting emotional impact that sentimental objects, such as old Christmas cards, can have on a person's life, stirring up memories and reminding us of the importance of meaningful connections.
