For we all remember, some past December
Of tinsel and holly and people we love
Put the angel on the tree then enjoy the view
Wait until the children are asleep and then
Put together all the toys
Hide a gift or two
Wishing you were just a kid again
For we all remember, some past December
Of train sets that whistled and dolls we could name
Oh the years may change
But Christmas stays the same Turkey and gravy
Hams full of honey
Cousins you see once a year
Fathers who scold you
Then slip you some money
And roofs full of tiny reindeer
Yes we all remember some past December
Of grandmas and kitchens with kettles aflame
Oh the years may change
But Christmas stays the same
