AlaskaGuamas - Christmas with Jesus Lyrics

All the childhood memories
Don't seem so far away
Decorate the tree with mom and dad
Santa set us on his knee
And we would hope and pray
He'd bring the things we wished all year we'd had
Those are memories of Christmas Past
How I wish those days could last
Our children decorate the home
Colored lights and mistletoe
And the smell of pine is in the air
In the kitchen mama bakes
Gingerbread with candy canes
Silver bells and Winter Wonderland
She wasn't feeling well Thanksgiving day,
That's when I heard mama say
I won't be home for Christmas this year
I hope you have snow and mistletoe and hearts full of cheer
When you open up your presents
Don't be sad I'm not here
I'll be celebrating Christmas, with Jesus this year
Now the kids are old and grown
They both have children of their own
Santa Clause still coming to town
A reindeer with a bright red nose
Stockings hung and silver bows
Through the chimney old saint nick comes down
I love to see their faces Christmas day
But this year I have to say
I won't be home for Christmas this year
I hope you have snow and mistletoe and hearts full of cheer
When you open up your presents
Don't be sad I'm not there
I'll be celebrating Christmas, with Jesus this year
When your family starts rolling in
That's when the true joy begins
With the smile of a child's face
And the feel of a warm embrace
Remember me on this Christmas day,
I won't be home for Christmas this year
I hope you have snow and mistletoe and hearts full of cheer
When you open up your presents
Don't be sad I'm not there
I'll be celebrating Christmas, with Jesus this year
I'll be celebrating Christmas, with Jesus this year
All the childhood memories
Don't seem so far away
Decorate the tree with mom and dad
