Christmas! Mer­ry Christ­mas!
We greet it, we greet it with glee,
With laugh­ter and sing­ing,
So joy­ful are we.
It brings us full stock­ings
Crammed down to the toe,
And fine Christ­mas trees
On whose boughs pre­sents grow.
But we know a rea­son
Far bet­ter than these,
For wel­com­ing Christ­mas day;
Listen now, please.
Dear God sent a Christ­mas gift
Long, long ago,
To make peo­ple hap­py
And bet­ter, we know.
And so we, too, try
As the day comes each year,
To make our friends hap­py
And sad hearts to cheer.
Christmas! Mer­ry Christ­mas!
We greet it, we greet it with glee,
With laugh­ter and sing­ing,
So joy­ful are we.
