The Nicest Present

Christmas is a special day
It just comes once a year
And all the family gathers round
To spread the Christmas cheer
And there's lots and lots of presents
Underneath our Christmas tree
And I started thinking that I don't care
If there's a single one for me

I don't know just what I'll get for Christmas
But I don't care if I don't get a thing
As long as Mom and Dad are there
There'll be Christmas love to share
That's the nicest present Santa Claus
could bring.

Christmas is a magic day
Our house is such a friendly place
And there are smiles and friendly grins
On everybody's face
And there's piles and piles of goodies
It's a sight you've got to see
But then I think of other kids
Not as fortunate as me

I don't know just what I'll get for Christmas
And then I start imagining
If all the other girls and boys
Could share these lovely Christmas joys
That's the nicest present Santa Claus
could bring

The fire is burning brightly
And there's a special glow
And Mom and Daddy kiss each other
'Neath the mistletoe.

I don't know just what I'll get for Christmas
But I don't care if I don't get a thing
As long as Mom and Dad are there
There'll be Christmas love to share
That's the nicest present Santa Claus
could bring

I don't know just what I'll get for Christmas
And then I start imagining
If all the other girls and boys
Could share these lovely Christmas joys
That's the nicest present Santa Claus
The greatest gift there ever was
The nicest present Santa Claus
I tell you, kids, it's just because
The nicest present Santa Claus could bring!
