verse 1

It's a timeless tradition, whether far or near
People come together, at this time of year
It's a time of giving, and a time to share
When we're with those that we love,
So much joy fills the air

chorus

How I love christmas, friends and family both so near
each year on christmas day
Children so happy, try to stay awake all night
'cuz Santa's on his way
That's the joy of Christmas Day

verse 2

Time to light a fire, and to trim the tree
Time to go to grandma's house, see the family
Time to wrap the presents, put the kids to sleep
'Twas the night before christmas, what a day it will be

chorus

bridge

Nothing compares throughout the year
to the sites and the sounds of christmas cheer

That's the joy of christmas
How I love this christmas
That's the joy of christmas day
