Making Christmas
Pentatonix Lyrics

Da da da, da da da
An upbeat tune to start the lyrics.

This time
There is a shift in mood, implying a change from the usual.

Da da da, this time
Reiterating that this time is different from before.

Making Christmas
They are making Christmas happen.

Making Christmas (ooh)
Revealing that they are excited about the idea of making Christmas happen.

Making Christmas, making Christmas
Stress on making Christmas happen.

Is so fine
They are happy and pleased with the progress so far.

It's ours this time
They claim ownership of their idea to make Christmas happen.

And won't the children be surprised
The children are the audience and their surprise is what they are aiming for.

Time to give them something fun
The idea is to gift children something enjoyable.

They'll talk about for years to come
The plan is that this year's Christmas will be unforgettable.

Let's have a cheer from everyone
They are inviting everyone to join them in creating the feel-good atmosphere around Christmas.

Dum Da Da
A playful and cheeky line to continue the upbeat rhythm.

Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice
Creative wrapping techniques are being used for unusual gifts like snakes and mice.

With spider legs and pretty bows
The wrapped animals are decorated with spider legs as an ornament.

All together, that and this
They are collaborating together to create something special.

With all our tricks we're making Christmas time
They are pooling in all their tricks and ideas to make Christmas happen.

Ha ha ha
A playful jab added for good measure.

I don't believe what's happening to me
The idea of making Christmas happen is overwhelming them.

My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies
Creating an unforgettable Christmas was their dream and it's finally happening.

Ah, ha ha ha
An exaggerated laugh to continue the playful tone.

Won't they be impressed, I am a genius?
They are proud of their work and hoping that the quality of their effort will leave the children impressed.

See how I transform this old rat
They are using creative ideas to personalize gifts by transforming old things into new gifts.

Into a most delightful hat
They are using the transformed object to create something delightful.

Hmm, my compliments from me to you
Acknowledging that they have done good work in creating something special.

On this your most intriguing hat
The hat they created is intriguing or has caught the interest of someone.

Consider though this substitute
However, they need to make a substitution for the next gift.

A bat in place of this old rat
They are brainstorming an idea for a new gift with the help of the team.

Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong
The initial idea is wrong and needs to be discarded.

This thing will never make a present
The idea that they had earlier is not suitable as a present.

It's been dead for much too long
The initial idea is not practical because the subject matter is dead and unusable.

Try something fresher, something pleasant
As a group, they come up with an alternate idea that is more suitable.

All together, that and this
Back to discussing the new idea in their group.

With all our tricks we're making Christmas time
They are all in this together and working hard to make Christmas happen.

'Cause when the full moon starts to climb
This is a special night and they will work as hard as they can till the end to make Christmas night memorable.

We'll all sing out
They will express their joy and happiness by singing out loud.

It's Christmas time
They have been successful in creating the ideal ambiance to enjoy Christmas.
