We Need A Little Christmas

Haul out the holly;
Put up the tree before
my spirit falls again.
Fill up the stocking,
I may be rushing things,
but deck the halls again now.

For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.

It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So climb down the chimney;
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
Slice up the fruitcake;
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

For I've grown a little leaner,
Grown a little colder,
Grown a little sadder,
Grown a little older,

And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder,
Need a little Christmas now.

Haul out the holly;
Haven't we taught you well to live each living day?
Fill up the stocking,
And even though it's barely past Thanksgiving Day now.

We need a little Christmas
Right this very minute,
Candles in the window,
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute.
We need a little Christmas now.

For we need a little music,
Need a little laughter,
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter,

And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after,"
Need a little Christmas now.
We need a little Christmas now.


Amen.  Now, isn't this just about the TRUEST thing you've heard in a while?  Just saying.

Happy Holidays!
Mike
