Story Behind The Song
This song is about someone who is no longer a child, but is at a transitional age in life where they are still very reminiscent about Christmas, however knowing that the meaning and much about the holiday seems to have changed now that they are getting older. Ultimately the person makes the realization that the holiday is about so much more than just their memories of how it was in the past, consequently having the epiphany that no one should be too old for Christmas.

Lyrics
She still has trouble sleeping on the eve before the magic day
And in the morning wakes up, wants to open gifts with no delay
She counts all the days down, suspense is mounting higher, and higher
The anticipation of stockings hung up high above the fire
But she stopped believing
Because she's feeling she's too old for Christmas
But does she know- that age doesn't matter
So you should never be too old for Christmas
This I know
She wishes old traditions could be held despite the passing time
Like driving 'cross the land to cut the biggest tree down they could find
Then hanging the lights up and watching stain-glass patterns flicker
And favorite ornaments strewn upon the branches growing thicker
But everything changes
And now she thinks that she's too old for Christmas
But does she know- it's for anybody
So you can never be too old for Christmas
This I know
Her fondest memories are rolling dough and cutting cookies out
And eating all she could without a care, no guilt and no doubt
And singing Christmas songs all over town as loud as they could shout
And when she sings along it's clear to her what everything's about
She found the true meaning
And she no longer is too old for Christmas
Now she knows- it's all about giving
So she will never be too old for Christmas
This I know
