Couples skate circles ‘round you in the square
While you’re missing the person you wish could be there
A peppermint latte and a table for one
And that’s Christmas

Mom calls to remind for the 40th time
All the things you forgot, so you get back in line
Quick break for hot chocolate, a table for one
And that’s Christmas

Well it’s awfully late to be out and about
Are you here by yourself? Mind if I sit down?
It’s been a long day
You can say that again
Every holiday season since I don’t know when

The roads are an ice rink, they forget how to drive
You wonder if you’ll make it out of this month alive
All those stocking stuffers you could do without
Have you feeling as drained as your bank account
It came on too fast and you got no time
Pick out a hundred dollar tree and a bottle of wine
All the noise and the stress and the mess seem here to stay
But it’s Christmas, so it’s okay

The cold outside can feel inhumane
And the car door’s frozen shut again
Secret Santa at work said $40, no more
And your boss got you a pen from the Dollar Store

Everybody’s got plans so you can’t get a date
And your cousin brought that boyfriend everybody hates
Grandma’s off on another cringey tirade tonight
It’s not politically correct, but you don’t wanna start a fight

And your sister invites you over for dinner
Her charcoal turkey is always a winner
A relief to be home with It’s A Wonderful Life
And that’s Christmas

And the cat’s a climber, so there goes the tree
Another family heirloom smashed to bits irreparably
Mom keeps saying “You’re not getting any younger...”
And that’s Christmas





The roads are an ice rink, they forget how to drive
You wonder if you’ll make it out of this month alive
All those stocking stuffers you could do without
Have you feeling as drained as your bank account
It came on too fast and you got no time
Pick out a hundred dollar tree and a bottle of wine
All the noise and the stress and the mess seem here to stay
But it’s Christmas, so it’s okay

Cause when sleigh bells ring you must heed the call
And on silent nights as the snowflakes fall
It’s the simple things like a cozy chat
Between strangers wearing Santa Hats

The roads are an ice rink but it’s still worth the drive
Gotcha feeling like you’ll make it out of this month alive
Listen to those songs you can’t do without
And try and make every moment count
It comes on so fast and it flashes by
Put your star on the tree as the reindeer fly
All the noise and the stress and the mess are here to stay
But it’s Christmas, so it’s okay

That Christmas feeling colours everything
It’s Christmas, so it’s okay

And you’re here
Now you’re here
So it’s okay
