Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
My two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
It seems so long
Since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"
Gosh, oh gee
How happy I'd be if I could only whistle
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
My two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
Two front teeth
Two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
It seems so long
Since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"
Gosh, oh gee
How happy I'd be if I could only whistle
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
Two front teeth
Two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
It seems so long
Since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle"
Gosh, oh gee
How happy I'd be if I could only whistle
So all I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
Two front teeth
My two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have
My two front teeth
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas (Christmas)

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

I send prayers that the treatments works. Allow yourself to live experiences that you never dared to live before, and don't let fear take on you (sounds silly, but anti-anxiety herb tea like passiflora-valerian really helped me when I was diagnosed with kidney cancer). Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!

And to you. And don't forget the reason for Christmas - the incarnation of God.
