The magic of Christmas is so many things
A holly wreath gay and a church bell that rings.
A tree all a glitter, a candle's soft glow
And moonlight reflected on new fallen snow.

A kitchen's aroma of sugar and spice
Bright packages wrapped up so pretty and nice.
Red stockings overflowing with candy and toys
And hung by the fireplace for good girls and boys.

The magic of Christmas is found everywhere
Sweet voices of carolers upon frosted air.
The jingle of sleigh bells across hill and vale
Glad ring of the postman delivering the mail.



Good friends dropping in and the laughter so gay
Store windows decked out in a delightful display.
Dear Santa Claus chuckling his famed Ho, Ho, Ho
And little tots whispering as Santa bends low.


The magic of Christmas is so many things
A candlelit church and a choir that sings.
The being together with people we love
Belief that the Christmas Star still shines above.

The caring and giving and goodwill towards men
The Christ Child reborn in our hearts once again.
Contentment and peace and a faith strong within
A spirit of love that makes all the world kin.



The magic of Christmas is all this and more
May your day be merry with much joy in store.
And may the bright memories and glow never depart
The Magic of Christmas lives on in your heart.
