About

I wrote the music when I was thirteen. My brother put the lyrics to it several years ago. A frequent comment I get regarding this song is that it's nice to hear a new Christmas song written like traditional Christmas songs. It's one of my personal favorites.

Lyrics

Sleigh bells and snow men
Santas and reindeers
Wrapping our gifts by the tree
Tinsel and tassel
Lights strung on houses
Waiting for Christmas eve
Crowds in a hurry
Anxious and worried
Shopping for gifts they don't need
Children keep counting
Presents keep mounting
Waiting for Christmas eve
But that is not what Christmas means
It's just what is come to be
Christmas is Jesus birthday party
Bringing the gift of peace

Christmas is caring
Smiling and sharing
Gifts you can't find in a store
Laughter and kindness
Songs that remind us
Of Christmas's shared before

Christmas is Jesus birthday party
Bringing the gift of peace

Christmas is caring
Smiling and sharing
Gifts you can't find in a store
Laughter and kindness
Songs that remind us
Christmas is something more
Christmas is something more
Christmas is something more
