The Spirit Of Christmas - Rosemary Clooney

The holly the hearthfire

The tinsel the tree

The home folks

The handshakes

The carols sung off key

The kids hearing stories

On grandfather's knee

That's the spirit

Of christmas

The presents all piled

In the back of the car

The wreath in the window

The Bethlehem star

The faith

Of the wise men

Who traveled so far

That's the spirit

Of christmas

We try to surprise one another

It's better to give than receive

But why don't we just give each other

The faith to be strong and believe

The sweet happy laughter

Of children at play

The clear far off jingle

Of bells on a sleigh

The love of the man

Who was born on this day

That's the spirit

Of christmas

That's the spirit

Of christmas

We try to surprise one another

It's better to give than receive

But why don't we just give each other

The faith to be strong and believe

The sweet happy laughter

Of children at play

The clear far off jingle

Of bells on a sleigh

The love of the man

Who was born on this day

That's the spirit of christmas

The love of the man who was born on this day

That's the spirit

Of christmas
