The Christmas Song
Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby Lyrics

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
The warmth and coziness of the Christmas season is captured in the image of chestnuts roasting over an open fire.

Jack Frost nipping at your nose
The chill of winter is evoked with the description of Jack Frost nipping at one's nose.

Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
The joy and cheer of the season is conveyed through the image of carolers singing festive songs.

And folks dressed up like Eskimos
The fun and lightheartedness of the season is represented by people dressed in cozy and playful winter attire.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Traditional symbols of the holiday, like a delicious roasted turkey and festive mistletoe, are widely recognized and enjoyed.

Help to make the season bright
These familiar holiday elements contribute to the merry and bright atmosphere of the season.

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
The excitement and wonder of Christmas is embodied in the image of young children wide-eyed with anticipation.

Will find it hard to sleep tonight
The anticipation of Christmas morning can make it difficult for children to fall asleep on Christmas Eve.

They know that Santa's on his way
Children believe in the magical figure of Santa Claus, who they know will be delivering gifts on Christmas Eve.

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
Santa's sleigh is filled with all the gifts and treats that children look forward to receiving on Christmas morning.

And every mother's child is gonna spy
Every child is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Santa and will try to catch a glimpse of him on Christmas Eve.

To see if reindeer really know how to fly
Children are fascinated by the idea of flying reindeer and will look for any sign to prove that they are real.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
The singer is providing a heartfelt message of holiday cheer and goodwill.

To kids from one to ninety-two
This message is for everyone, regardless of age, who shares in the joy of the Christmas season.

Although it's been said many times, many ways
Even though the sentiment expressed in the message has been shared many times before, it remains just as meaningful and sincere.

Merry Christmas to you
The message is a simple but heartfelt wish for a joyful and happy Christmas season.
