[Verse 1]
C
The stockings are on the mantle
Dm7
Music is in the air
G7
All the lights are on the tree
     F            G
And love is everywhere
C
I hear a song of long ago
Dm
About the father's son
G7
I love all the holidays
    F               C
But not as much as this one

[Chorus]
G
Why I love Christmas
        C
It's a special time of year
            G
Why I love Christmas
          F               G
Bringing hope and lots of cheer
     Am         G               F                    C          Dm  G
The child born on that morning brought the gift of salvation to us
F                  C
That's why I love Christmas

[Verse 2]
D
The children are excited
      Em7
Cause now it's Christmas Eve
 A                         G                A
They're anticipating what Santa Claus will leave
D                                Em
When I see all the presents and boxes and pretty bows
A                                            D
  I picture baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes

[Chorus]
            G
Why I love Christmas
        D
It's a special time of year
            A
Why I love Christmas

Bringing hope and lots of cheer
     Bm         A               G                   D/F#        Em  A G

That's why I love Christmas

That's why I love Christmas
