Lyrics

THIS IS CHRISTMAS
Written by Laura Stigler-Marier

Snowflakes falling
Doorbells chiming, old friends calling
Sleigh bells jingling
Starry nights ‘n neighbors singing
Softly praying
Every church bell ringing, saying,
“This is...Christmas!”

Home fires burning
Hearts across the miles yearning
Turkey roasting
Loved ones raising glasses, toasting
Pictures snapping
Tomorrow’s memories unwrapping
This is...Christmas!

Wishing one another Christmas cheer...
Hoping it will last all through the year!


Children’s faces filled with wonder,
What a magic spell we’re under!
This is...Christmas!

Wishing one another Christmas cheer...
Hoping it will last all through the year

Children’s faces filled with wonder!
What a magic spell we’re under!
Bringing peace and joy throughout the world...
Good will to men and every boy and girl...
This is...Christmas!
Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! [vocal “bongs” are synchronized with bells]
Merry Christmas!
Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! [vocal “bongs” are synchronized with bells]
This is Christmastime!

[vocal “bongs” are synchronized with bells]

Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong
Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong!
Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong!...Bong!



The "bong bong bongs" at the end of the song could perhaps be sung by kids, along with the artist, with bells in the background.
