Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please make my wish come true
Cos I'd trim trees and deck the hallways
If I know you'd be mine for always
I won't be blue on Christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas
New years, Easter, too
"I'd Like You For Christmas" is a heartwarming love song by Julie London (Holiday) in which she expresses her desire for a loved one to be with her on Christmas. The song opens with the lines "I'd like you for Christmas, please make my wish come true" indicating that the person she wants is someone she cannot be with at the moment. She then goes on to express her readiness to do everything in her power to get the person to be hers forever, like trimming trees and decking the hallways.
The repeated line "I won't be blue on Christmas if old Saint Nick comes through" underlines the importance of the person she desires, and the fact that Santa Claus granting her wish would be a significant step towards making her holiday and life blissful. Essentially, the song is a wish for love and companionship, not just during the holiday season, but throughout the year.

I'd like you for Christmas
I desire your presence during this joyous holiday season
Please make my wish come true
Grant my fervent wish to have you as my companion
Cos I'd trim trees and deck the hallways
In anticipation of your arrival, I would beautifully decorate my home
If I know you'd be mine for always
If you were to promise to be mine forever, I would feel complete
I won't be blue on Christmas
If my wish of having you with me is granted, I will have a jolly Christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
If Santa Claus delivers my Christmas wishes
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas
If he remembers that having you is my deepest holiday desire
New years, Easter, too
I want you not just for Christmas but all year round, including New Year's and Easter

I'd like you for Christmas
Please make my wish come true
'Cause I'd dream trees and deck the hallways
If I knew you'd be mine for always
I won't be blue on Christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas, New Year's, Easter too
She'd like you for Christmas
Please make my wish come true
'Cause she'd dream dreams and deck the hallways
If she knew you'd be hers for always
I won't be blue on Christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas, New Year's, Easter too
New Year's, Easter too
