This Is Christmas

Intro

(ding-ding) ah-ah, ho-ho

Sleigh-bell hum, steam on the window (ooh)

Mmm, yeah, mmm

Verse

Cups steaming on the mantle, cinnamon on the air

Grandma's sweater on the back of the chair

Paper cranes and little lights, crooked on the tree

We laugh until we spill the cocoa, you and me

Mittens by the doorway, footprints in soft white

Neighbors shout a hello, someone plays guitar tonight

Stockings lined like punctuation, a story to be told

Every ribbon keeps a memory, every bow a fold

Pre-chorus

Hold this moment like a postcard, pass it hand to hand (pass it)

Warmth that keeps us waking when the night turns grand (yeah)

Soft chorus on the radio, sing it like you mean it (sing it)

Hands together, closer now — feel the room breathe in it

Chorus

This is Christmas in the small glow, in the living room glow (in the living room)

Where the laughter builds the chorus and the old songs grow (oh-oh)

This is Christmas, wrap your name inside the ribbon tight (tight, tight)

We keep repeating what feels right, oh-oh, feels right

This is Christmas in the small glow, in the living room glow (in the living room)

Where the laughter builds the chorus and the old songs grow (oh-oh)

This is Christmas, wrap your name inside the ribbon tight (tight, tight)

We keep repeating what feels right, oh-oh, feels right

Verse

Crackling in the fireplace, peppermint stick on the shelf

Kids trading secret notes like little copies of themselves

Door open to the porch where frost designs the gate

The moon puts on a silver coat and waits

Postcards piled like promises, stamps like tiny seals

We tell each other futures as the world around us heals

Midnight toast with mismatched cups, perfume of pine and smoke

We keep it simple, keep it close, keep every joke we spoke

Pre-chorus

Hold this moment like a postcard, pass it hand to hand (pass it)

Warmth that keeps us waking when the night turns grand (yeah)

Soft chorus on the radio, sing it like you mean it (sing it)

Hands together, closer now — feel the room breathe in it

Chorus

This is Christmas in the small glow, in the living room glow (in the living room)

Where the laughter builds the chorus and the old songs grow (oh-oh)

This is Christmas, wrap your name inside the ribbon tight (tight, tight)

We keep repeating what feels right, oh-oh, feels right

This is Christmas in the small glow, in the living room glow (in the living room)

Where the laughter builds the chorus and the old songs grow (oh-oh)

This is Christmas, wrap your name inside the ribbon tight (tight, tight)

We keep repeating what feels right, oh-oh, feels right

Verse

(rap) Yeah, turn it up, turn it up, uh

Snow on the mailbox like a hat for the post, ayy

I got lists in my pocket like a secret that I toast, ayy

Stockings stitched with jokes from the years we kept us close, ayy

Carols on my tongue like sugar on the coats, ayy

Midnight run to the corner for a cand
