The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You)

What is the spirit of Christmas? It is the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child This we must never forget Oh, this we must never forget But there are other little things too Yes, there are other little things too 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 reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to 92 Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas to you To you Merry Christmas, everybody, and a Happy New Year To you
