Verse 1
Snow falls gently on the old hometown
Every window glowing, folks gather round
Cookies baking, laughter fills the hall
Open hearts, we give our all
Pre-Chorus
No need for ribbons or fancy displays
It’s the kindness we share that truly stays
Chorus
Sacrifice, giving, loving, sharing
That's real life, the real reason we're here
It's a gift we keep on passing
The real purpose for Christmas day, so clear
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, gather 'round, come and stay
Oh oh oh, that's Christmas day
Verse 2
From the old porch swing to the kitchen light
We carry hope through the coldest night
There's joy in every simple way
Family close, hearts will say
Pre-Chorus
All the silver and the gold can't measure
The warmth of holding you this December
Chorus
Sacrifice, giving, loving, sharing
That's real life, the real reason we're here
It's a gift we keep on passing
The real purpose for Christmas day, so clear
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, gather 'round, come and stay
Oh oh oh, that's Christmas day
Bridge
Voices rise beneath the frosty sky
Memories linger, gentle as pie
Laughing children on the snowy lawn
Morning comes, but the giving goes on
Chorus
Sacrifice, giving, loving, sharing
That's real life, the real reason we're here
It's a gift we keep on passing
The real purpose for Christmas day, so clear
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, gather 'round, come and stay
Oh oh oh, that's Christmas day
Outro
Candles glow, as the evening ends
Grateful hearts with time to spend
All our wishes held in prayer
Love remains, always there
Holding hands around the fading fire
Stories told we all admire
For every blessing, every grace
We find the meaning in this place
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, gather 'round, come and stay
Oh oh oh, that's Christmas day
