The house is quiet, the clock strikes six,
A gentle stir, a few small tricks.
Little feet are running down the hall,
Trying not to wake up one and all.
The scent of pine and cinnamon is near,
Christmas Eve is finally here!
We put on carols, soft and low,
Watching outside for a sign of snow.
It's the day we wait for all year long,
To gather 'round and sing our song.
A magical feeling fills the air,
A love that’s felt in every prayer.
Oh, Christmas Eve, the happiest time!
Jingle bells are ringing, a joyful chime!
Family and laughter, warm and bright,
Making memories on this special night!
From morning 'til the stars appear,
The best day of the whole long year!
Mom and Dad are busy in the kitchen now,
Prepping the feast, they know just how.
The famous turkey, potatoes gold,
Stories of Christmases years old.
Remembering Grandpa by the fire's gleam,
Living out the perfect Christmas dream.
The front door opens, a joyful sound,
More family members are gathering 'round.
Laughter from the children rings out clear,
The full house is exactly why we're here.
It's the day we wait for all year long,
To gather 'round and sing our song.
A magical feeling fills the air,
A love that’s felt in every prayer.
Oh, Christmas Eve, the happiest time!
Jingle bells are ringing, a joyful chime!
Family and laughter, warm and bright,
Making memories on this special night!
From morning 'til the stars appear,
The best day of the whole long year!
Time to put on our warmest coats,
We head to church for familiar notes.
Watching the children in the play,
A simple truth to end the day.
Back home we unwrap gifts from distant friends,
A cozy supper before the day ends.
The table is set, the candles glow,
Watching the happy faces all aglow.
Now the moment we all have waited for,
Presents beneath the tree and so much more!
The happy squeals, the rustling sound,
Love and peace are all around!
Oh, Christmas Eve, the happiest time!
Jingle bells are ringing, a joyful chime!
Good night, good night, 'til the morning sun,
Our perfect Christmas Eve is done!
