Hi everybody, this is James Brown
This is a very, very unusual way to come to you
But I gotta start by saying thanks
Thanks for such a wonderful year

Not only to you, to God, number one
To you number two and for all the wonderful things
You know when I look at a beautiful day
I'll say God is there

Let's make this Christmas mean something this year

I say it's happy because birds are tweeting
Sun is shining, the wind's blowing the breeze
The leaves are flying, everybody feels nice

Just say, oh God, thanks for all he wonderful things
You even see a little snow sometimes but you know, God only knows
How Christmas is gonna look, so one more time I'll say

Now let's make our next year be as nice as this year
Now Christmas gotta be the kind of a Christmas
That we remember a long time ago

You remember when everybody used to look forward to it, Santa Claus
You'd wanna know what you gonna have the next day
You couldn't wait until Christmas morning to jump up

But that's the morning you wouldn't go to your table
You go straight to your little sack
Hanging on the mantle over the fireplace

You know I just enjoy this and I, I can't really can't find enough words
That would really make me express myself the good feelings that I have
But I wanna say thanks, thanks to God and now
Let's make Christmas the kind of a Christmas that we'd remember

In my past years but let's make this Christmas beautiful for everybody
The kind of a Christmas that mom, dad, granddad
