This is Christmas

[Verse 1[

I can still see the tree in the corner of the room

Lights blinking slow while the records played through

Everybody talking over everybody else

Wrapping paper everywhere, nowhere else I'd rather be

Mom in the kitchen, Dad thinking of all he bought

Kids on the floor with the gifts they just got

And somewhere in the middle of the noise and the glow

We all knew where this would go

Pre-Chorus

Jingle bells on the speakers

Snow falling outside

But the real light in the house

Was always by our side

Chorus

This is Christmas — love around the table

Hope in the middle of it all

Joy that doesn't fade when the night gets long

Because Christ has come, and He's still holding us close

This is Christmas — family in the living room

Laughter, old stories, the same songs we always sing

Hearts wide open, full of everything

Love, hope, and joy... this is Christmas

Verse 2

We'd pile on the couch when the night started slowing down

Someone would read the story, same one every year

About a baby in a manger, a promise kept

And how heaven showed up right here on earth

I didn't understand it all when I was small

But I felt it in the way we held each other close

The gifts were fun, the food was good

But the real gift was knowing we were loved

Pre-Chorus

Jingle bells still ringing

Candles burning bright

But the hope in this house

Came from a holy night

Chorus

This is Christmas — love around the table

Hope in the middle of it all

Joy that doesn't fade when the night gets long

Because Christ has come, and He's still holding us close

This is Christmas — family in the living room

Laughter, old stories, the same songs we always sing

Hearts wide open, full of everything

Love, hope, and joy... this is Christmas

Bridge

It's not the lights or the snow

It's not the presents under the tree

It's the Savior who came

And the family He gave me

We remember, we gather

We hold onto what's true

Christ in the center

And love running through

Final Chorus

This is Christmas — love around the table

Hope in the middle of it all

Joy that doesn't fade when the night gets long

Because Christ has come, and He's still holding us close

This is Christmas — family in the living room

Laughter, old stories, the same songs we always sing

Hearts wide open, full of everything

Love, hope, and joy...

This is Christmas

This is Christmas

Outro

Love, hope, and joy...

Because of Christ...

This is Christmas.
