great big family christmas

the air is getting colder

the world is all aglow

it's the perfect time to bundle up

and make some angels in the snow

stockings

sledding

old st. nick

and carols in the street

what i love most about this time of year

is seeing friends and family

i'm talking

sleigh bells and reindeer

and the loved ones we hold near

we'll have a great big family christmas

gather around the tree

for the great big family christmas

let's celebrate the king

let's deck the halls with laughter

and light up the town square up with joy

so that those who see

will know we're all family

and this party's free to join

i'm talking about sisters and dear friends

and shepherds and wisemen

you know the baby in a manger

made family from strangers

we'll have a great big family christmas

gather around the tree

for the great big family christmas

let's celebrate the king

we'll have a great big family christmas

gather around the tree

for the great big family christmas

now everybody sing

fa-la-la-la la-la-la

fa-la-la-la-la-la

no matter where you end up

on this christmas day

your family's with you in your heart

whether home or far away
