Christmas Is Here lyrics

After the skeletons are put away
And autumnal frissons ease the air
In the kitchen, friends make hot chocolate
So now you know “Christmas is here”

Hang up the stockings, put some oranges in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for charity this year
Hang up the stockings, put somethin’ blue in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for goodwill this year

I like it when old music’s in the air
Winters snow mean gratitude for warmth’s cheer
We remember when the news wasn’t bare
I tell my husband, wish our moms were here

Hang up the stockings, put some oranges in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for charity this year
Hang up the stockings, put somethin’ blue in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for goodwill this year

I just want my loved ones to flourish
Live long, happy lives
It’s the same every year
I just want my loved ones to flourish
Live long, happy lives
It’s the same year to year
Hang up the stockings, put some oranges in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for clarity this year
Hang up the stockings, put somethin’ blue in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for forgiveness this year

Hang up the stockings, put some oranges in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for charity this year
Hang up the stockings, put somethin’ blue in ’em
Materialism is bad actually
Wish for redemption this year
