Keep Christmas in December Lyrics

Rows of lights in early October

Shoppers crowd the aisles and halls

Frosted trees where leaves still linger

Plastic snow that never falls

What's the rush? Can't we remember

Christmas waits for winter's call?

Season's joy should come with patience, not before the story starts

Let the quiet nights of Advent light the way into our hearts

Keep Christmas in December, let the seasons play their part

There's beauty in the waiting, in the stillness of the heart

Let's honor what it stands for, not let time distort the ember

Hold the line, wait its turn, and keep Christmas in December

Jack-o'-lanterns share the sidewalk

With reindeer and candy canes

Turkey dinner still untouched

Yet carols fill the crowded trains

What's the point of rushing forward

If the magic slips away?

Season's joy should come with patience, not before the story starts

Let the quiet nights of Advent light the way into our hearts

Keep Christmas in December, let the seasons play their part

There's beauty in the waiting, in the stillness of the heart

Let's honor what it stands for, not let time distort the ember

Hold the line, wait its turn, and keep Christmas in December

Traditions fade when rushed too soon

Lost in glitter, drowned in tune

Let's slow it down before it's gone

Keep Christmas in December, let the seasons play their part

There's beauty in the waiting, in the stillness of the heart

Let's honor what it stands for, not let time distort the ember

Hold the line, wait its turn, and keep Christmas in December
