Lyrics
What is Christmas? Weather turning colder.
White flurries making dreams come true.
One year older; anticipate the new.
What is Christmas?
What is Christmas?
Making memories; let's create a few with family and friends.
Don't forget standing 'neath the mistletoe with one who loves you.
Chorus
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate one Holy Night many years ago.
Verse 2
What is Christmas? Decorating pine trees
Bright colors, yellow, green and red.
Watching movies; sending kids to bed.
What is Christmas?
What is Christmas? Finding 'neath the tree wanted presents: a doll or a sled.
Don't forget Carols of a Silent Night
and What Angels said.
Chorus:
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate one Holy Night many years ago.
A mother, a father, in a stable a baby's birth
The night God's love and light came to earth.
Verse 3
This is Christmas. Jesus came to earth a baby. God became man.
Leaving Heaven; who can understand?
This is Christmas.
This is Christmas. Angels sang of peace
to the Shepherds; through streets they ran.
Don't forget Wisemen found the shining star.
Their journey began.
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate one Holy Night many years ago.
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate a Holy Night.
All this to celebrate one Holy Night many years ago.
A mother, a father, in a stable a baby's birth.
The night God's love and light came to earth.
The night God's love and l ight came to earth.
