I used to mark the calendar and watch the days go by
For the pretty little snowflakes to fall down from the sky
And when they'd whiten the mountaintops, the valleys and the trees
I could feel the Christmas spirit take a hold of me

And I feel the Christmas spirit blowing in the air
There's lots of joy and happiness in the presents that we share
No other day can take its place throughout my memory
The world is celebrating with friends and family

When I was just a girl, at home I waited patiently
To open up my presents underneath the Christmas tree
With holly in the window the fireplace burning bright
The whole world is rejoicing on this Christmas night

I feel the Christmas spirit blowing in the air
There's lots of joy and happiness in the presents that we share
No other day can take its place throughout my memory
The world is celebrating with friends and family

The children dream of Santa with jingles on the sleigh
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer gladly leads the way
With joy they all are singing, I hear them laugh and play
Can't you feel the Christmas spirit on this special day?

Well, I feel the Christmas spirit blowing in the air
There's lots of joy and happiness in the presents that we share
No other day can take its place throughout my memory
The world is celebrating with friends and family

No other day can take its place throughout my memory
The world is celebrating with friends and family, family, family
