Christmas Like Mama Used to Make It

IT MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE BIT OLD FASHIONED
AND IT MAY NOT BE THE TREND OF THE YEAR.
BUT LET'S TAKE THE STORE BOUGHT FEELING OUT OF CHRISTMAS
AND HAVE THE KIND THAT MAMA HELD SO DEAR.

LET'S NOT HAVE A SINGLE PIE IF WE CAN'T MAKE IT
AND I'LL SHARPEN UP THE AX TO CUT OUR TREE.
LET THE LITTLE ONES MAKE ALL THE DECORATIONS
AND GET BACK TO THE WAY IT USED TO BE.

LET'S HAVE CHRISTMAS LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE IT
BACK BEFORE WE ALL HAD IT MADE.
LET'S SPEND TIME SPENDING LOVE INSTEAD OF MONEY
TAKE A SLEIGH RIDE BACK INTO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
FOR IT'S THERE THAT LIES THE STRENGTH OF OUR FAMILY
THE GOOD LORD INTENDED IT THIS WAY.
SO THIS YEAR LET'S DO OUR BEST NOT TO FAKE IT
LETS HAVE CHRISTMAS LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE IT.
LET'S CALL UNCLE ED TO TUNE THAT OLD PIANO
IT'S BEEN TOO LONG SINCE WE'VE ALL SANG SILENT NIGHT.
LET THE REST OF THE WORLD HAVE IT THEIR WAY
BUT THIS YEAR WE'RE GONNA DO IT RIGHT.
LET'S HAVE CHRISTMAS LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE IT
BACK BEFORE WE ALL HAD IT MADE.
LET'S SPEND TIME SPENDING LOVE INSTEAD OF MONEY
TAKE A SLEIGH RIDE BACK INTO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
FOR IT'S THERE THAT LIES THE STRENGTH OF OUR FAMILY
THE GOOD LORD INTENDED IT THIS WAY.
SO THIS YEAR LET'S DO OUR BEST NOT TO FAKE IT
LET'S HAVE CHRISTMAS LIKE MAMA USED TO MAKE IT.
