It Would Still Be Christmas

It would still be Christmas without presents

It would still be Christmas without snow

It would still be Christmas without Santa Claus and reindeer

Or kisses underneath the mistletoe

But it can't be Christmas without Jesus

Nothing there to really celebrate

Without Christ the season has no meaning

With no salvation story to relate

So raise a hallelujia

Jesus Christ is born

Join the heavenly choir of angels singing

On this sacred morn

It would still be Christmas without carols

It would still be Christmas without cards

It would still be Christmas without firelight and candles

Or half a million lights out in the yard

It would still be Christmas without family

It would still be Christmas without friends

It would still be Christmas without feasting at the table

Or Christmas sales that never seem to end

So raise a hallelujia

Jesus Christ is born

Join the heavenly choir of angels singing

On this sacred morn
