No matter what you celebrate or what you believe inside
When December comes around, the air has a fresh and special vibe
The season of giving, full of warmth, love, and magic
The hustle and bustle; such a holiday classic
If we’re lucky, the snow will fall
Turning the world into a white wonderland where our problems turn so small
As you breathe in the crisp and freeing air
You can feel the holiday spirit that's finally there
If the year got you down, and you feel hopeless and drained
You’re in luck, because the feeling of joy can’t be contained
The bright and shining lights that can change any frown
Wrapped up like a present as you walk through the festive town
The arguments and troubles that fill our minds all year
Are put on pause when you finally feel the holiday cheer
When the people who are always disconnected finally look up
And everyone gathers to laugh and clink cups
You realize just why we look forward to this time
To share a nice smile, or a greeting and rhyme
So, what makes the holidays so special that it brightens up the mood?
Is it the gifts, the trees, the delicious food?
The true meaning of the holidays is the real reason
The presence, not the presents, creates this season
