CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS (Jon D'Agostino/Peter Mullin) shorehitsmusic@aol.com

Christmas is my favorite time of year
When we all get together to spread a little cheer
First we pick a tree, then we take our turn
Hanging ornaments and lights
Count down the days till Santa's midnight flight

Now the stores are getting busier each day
Temperatures are falling, I hope snow is on the way
Time to make a list of our special gifts
for our family and friends
And break out grandma's recipes again

Talkin' bout' Christmas traditions
gingerbread houses, candy cane kisses
Turkey dinner, honey ham and mom's pecan pie
Hang some mistletoe and toss a log on the fire

December 24th sneaks up real fast
We drive and see the neighbor's lights
There's magic in the air
Then we're baking brownies and singing carols
In our red PJ's
Leave a carrot for Rudolph
And cookies on the plate

Talkin' bout' Christmas traditions
gingerbread houses, candy cane kisses
Egg nog, evergreens and "It's a wonderful life"
Midnight Mass, then dreaming till the morning arrives

(Bridge)
Wake up mom and dad, c'mon downstairs
Santa left a note that said we've all been good this year
And there's a pile of presents waiting
And stockings filled with treats
Let's make some homemade coco, and top it off with whipped cream

Talkin' bout' Christmas traditions
gingerbread houses, candy cane kisses
Remembering that giving is what it's all about
Soon we'll pull those boxes and take all the lights down

Christmas traditions
Christmas traditions
(Talkin' bout')

(TO FADE)
