With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you be of good cheer
Oh it's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for roasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
Oh it's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
Oh, we're gonna have parties then we're gonna host them
Marshmallows then we're gonna roast them, caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
Well, it's the most wonderful time of the year
Oh, there'll be kissing 'neath the mistletoe
And hearts are gonna glow
When you're with the one you love
Oh, it's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year
