Christmas Stays the Same - Linda Eder

Santa Claus and mistletoe

Carols by the fire

Send a card and spread a little Christmas cheer

Silent night a fall of snow

Listen to the choir

Everyone is happy that it’s here

For we all remember, some past December

Of tinsel and holly and people we love

Put the angel on the tree then enjoy the view

Wait until the children are asleep and then

Put together all the toys

Hide a gift or two

Wishing you were just a kid again

For we all remember, some past December

Of train sets that whistled and dolls we could name

Oh the years may change

But Christmas stays the same Turkey and gravy

Hams full of honey

Cousins you see once a year

Fathers who scold you

Then slip you some money

And roofs full of tiny reindeer

Yes we all remember some past December

Of grandmas and kitchens with kettles aflame

Oh the years may change

But Christmas stays the same
