Lyrics
It’s a house full of noise ’cause the family’s all in town
It’s an attic full of toys so the kids won’t find out
The smell of cookies in the oven, it’s a slow dance in the kitchen
Oh, ain’t it somethin’, it’s a Christmas to believe in
It’s in the snow making angels, it’s a mistletoe kiss
It’s an empty seat at the table to remember who we miss
It’s a candle light carol, it’s a grateful choir singin’
Oh Hark! The Herald, it’s a Christmas to believe in
More than just a Merry Christmas
I’m wishing you a Christmas to believe in
Where the moments turn to memories
And years from now you’ll close your eyes and see them
More than just another busy season
I’m wishing you a Christmas to believe in
It’s a blanket by the fire watching all our favorite movies
“It’s A Wonderful Life” in black and white just like it should be
It’s Salvation Army bells, hear them ringing to remind us
There’s a world that needs our help, may compassion come and find us
More than just a Merry Christmas
I’m wishing you a Christmas to believe in
Where the moments turn to memories
And years from now you’ll close your eyes and see them
More than just another busy season
I’m wishing you a Christmas to believe in
A Christmas to believe in
Hallelujah, we believe in Christmas
It’s grandpa’s Bible opened up to Luke Chapter Two
It’s the greatest gift of love being born for me and you
It’s a heart returning home to the One who is the reason
Every Christmas is a Christmas to believe in
May your Christmas be a Christmas to believe in

About This Song
In this song, Matthew West mentions the simple things that make Christmas special like the smell of cookies in the oven or kissing your loved one underneath the mistletoe. It’s a great reminder to slow down this Christmas season. Christmas doesn’t have to be about rushing around to every holiday event or finding the most luxurious presents. It’s very possible to find joy in the little things that come with the Christmas season.
This song also mentions something else about Christmas that tends to be overlooked: the true meaning of Christmas. It talks about a Grandpa reading the Christmas story out of his Bible to his family. He calls it the “Greatest gift of love being born for me and you.” He is referring to the birth of Jesus! Jesus, God’s only son, came to this earth as a baby. He came so that he would one day be able to die on the cross for our sins. So, I encourage you, as you enjoy this Christmas season, take time to remember and reflect on the first Christmas.
