Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The holidays mean more to me
Than sending cards and shopping sprees
It's the time we connect
With our family and friends
The holidays, the holidays
[Verse 2]
Holidays mean more to me
The mistletoe and Christmas trees
It's the smile we create
For the little baby's face
The holidays, the holidays
[Verse 3]
Holidays, a time for giving
Celebrating love and living
Memories and joy along the way
[Verse 4]
The holidays mean more to me
Than getting gifts from somebody
It's the stars in the sky
It's the birth of Christ
The holidays, the holidays
[Verse 5]
Oh, the holidays, a time for giving
Celebrating love and living
Memories and joy along the way
[Verse 6]
Holidays mean more to me
It's Christmas
[Verse 7]
Oh, holidays mean more to me
Than telling Santa Claus our wants and needs
It's a time to give thanks
For God's amazing grace
Oh, the holidays, the holidays
[Verse 8]
Oh, the holidays, a time for giving
Celebrating love and living
Memories and joy along the way
[Verse 9]
Holidays, oh, I wish you a good one
I wish you a Merry Christmas
Every day of the year
Written by: James Harris, James Q. Wright, Terry Lewis
