That’s What Chirstmas Means to Me (Ken Bierschbach)

Outside the snow is fallin’, it’s gettin’ bitter cold
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the season and how I’m growin’ old
And I watch the final leaf, fallin’ from the final tree
And I find myself thinkin’ what does Christmas mean to me?

Well it means a lot of shoppin’, it means a lot of noise
It means a lot of eatin’, and way too many toys
And it means a lot of searchin’ for souls hard to find
And as I stare out my window, I can’t get Christmas off my mind

Christmas comes but once a year on that we all agree
But shouldn’t Christmas spirit be a life’s philosophy?
So as you place your angel high atop your Christmas tree,
Have some fun, enjoy the family
Give someone a smile, it’s always free
Make yourself another memory
and that’s what Christmas means to me

It means a lot of hustle and way too little time
It means a lot of pressure and for some, an uphill climb
but it also means reflection on lives hard to live
Let’s make everyday Christmas, the season to give

Christmas comes but once a year on that we all agree
But shouldn’t Christmas spirit be a life’s philosophy?
So as you place your angel high atop your Christmas tree,
Have some fun, enjoy the family
Give someone a smile, it’s always free
Make yourself another memory
and that’s what Christmas means to me

No matter when no matter where,
we can always take some time to care

If Christ were here, he’d tell us just what we ought to do
Treat your neighbor as yourself the whole year through
and make the world a better place, with everything you do
So say a little prayer tonight, wishes can come true

Christmas comes but once a year on that we all agree
But shouldn’t Christmas spirit be a life’s philosophy?
So as you place your angel high atop your Christmas tree,
Have some fun, enjoy the family
Give someone a smile, it’s always free
Make yourself another memory
and that’s what Christmas means to me
