Hold On to Christmas

Light the fire and trim the tree
It won't be long till Christmas Eve
So close your eyes and make believe
That dreams really do come true

Manger scenes and mistletoe
Christmas cards from friends we know
They'll disappear like melted snow
At least for another year

Watching children as they play
Makes you wish that Christmas would stay

All year long just for dreamers like me
And those who believe
The joy of the season should stay
All year long like a December snow
That just won't let go
Let's hold on to Christmas this year

Long ago and far away
Love was born on Christmas day
A cattle stall, a bed of hay
A star shining in the sky

Even as the shepherds prayed
Heaven knew that Christmas could stay

All year long just for dreamers like me
And those who believe
The joy of the season should stay
All year long like a December snow
That just won't let go
Let's hold on to Christmas this year

(Let's hold on to Christmas this year)
All year long like a December snow
That just won't let go
Let's hold on to Christmas this year
