The January Lanterns - I Know It's Not Christmas for Long Lyrics

It snowed early in the month of November
Even though that seems wrong
Some folks don't even put up the holly
But I know it's not Christmas for long

And I just cant wait till the bells are jingling
We'll be sledding down the hills
The stockings will be full and our hearts will be pulled
To the meaning and mystery of Christmas

The store shelves are empty and the discounts a many
Our toy boxes have no room
Haven't heard carolers in ten years or twenty
I still wish it would be Christmas soon

And I just cant wait till the bells are jingling
We'll be sledding down the hills
The stockings will be full and our hearts will be pulled
To the meaning and mystery of Christmas

Its 6 am and six days till the start of the new year
The morning we've been waiting to come
Wrappings and ribbons are all I can hear
And Christmas has only just begun

And I just cant wait till the bells are jingling
We'll be sledding down the hills
The stockings will be full and our hearts will be pulled
To the meaning and mystery of Christmas

I thought this day would feel a little different
We got everything we asked for
And suddenly I realized what this day actually meant
The real present of Christmas is more

It sounds like the bells have all stopped ringing
The kids aren't quite asleep yet
The coals in the fireplace are barely burning
But my favorite part of Christmas
Is snuggled with you in bed
