WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CHRISTMAS
(Connie Zimmerman, 1988)

The Jingle Janglers


I'll tell you what I love about the Christmas season
Here are lots of reasons and they're all from the heart
Making Christmas decorations 'round the kitchen table
Just before Thanks giving is a good way to start.

1st chorus - kids
Hand me the crayons and the glitter too
Pass me the scissors please, and then the glue
I'll draw a chubby little tummy for Santa Claus
I'll make one hundred ornaments before I pause

Drinking egg-nog like it's going outta style
While putting up the tree and stringing the lights
Stepping outside to see our house lit up
Riding through the neighborhood, enjoying the sights.

I love the feelings of Christmas
I love making shopping lists
I love hanging tree decorations
I love to get a mistletoe kiss

Brief instrumental

The morning of Christmas is a special time
Shiny new bikes rolling down the lane
The mommies are a-cooing over new baby dolls
Daddy's workin' hard to build the toy train.

A holiday dinner prepared with love
yummy brown gravy over Real Mashed Potatoes
see the daddies nap after they're done eating
while the mommies and the kids play a game

Tree ornaments that have a special meaning
Looking for a snowflake from above
Another thing I cherish about each Christmas
Is singing Christmas Carols with the ones I love.

I love the feelings of Christmas
I love making shopping lists
I love hanging tree decorations
I love to get a mistletoe kiss

Sparkling little faces so full of joy
Looking for a snowflake from above
A gift I really cherish a - bout this season
Is singing Christmas Carols with the ones I love.
