Don’t be misled by these dusty old baubles These are the treasures of Christmases past And don’t be dismayed if the family squabbles We’ll still pass the turkey, we’ll still raise a glass I know for sure it will not be perfect There will be moments we’re undone But friends, that’s the reason we need this season To help us remember, joy can still come To a world often troubled and tragic So bring on the old Christmas magic Don’t be ashamed to hang dollar store tinsel There is great worth in reflecting the light Don’t you agree we could all use some twinkle? Now is the time to be merry and bright Everything’s better when we come together So let’s make sure mistletoe is hung 'Cause friends the whole reason we need this season Is to help us remember, joy can still come To a world often troubled and tragic So bring on the old Christmas magic Please don’t give up on the ancient traditions They’ll come to life if you just let them in And don’t be afraid to give your heart permission To open up wide and let Christmas begin Come all ye faithful, there’s room at the table And there is a gift for everyone 'Cause friends the whole reason we need this season Is to help us remember, joy can still come To a world often troubled and tragic So bring on the old Christmas magic
