A Moffatts Christmas

The Moffatts A Moffatts Christmas Lyrics
1.Old Man Winter

He's got a real long beard that's white as snow
He's got icicle fingers and popsicle toes
He's got chestnuts roasting on an open fire
He's got you scootin' down the hill on a worn out tire
He's got sleigh bells ringing out into the night
He's got everybody feeling alright

When Old Man Winter comes to town
He's got a special way of dropping in
And spreading cheer around
You know Christmas is around the bend
And he won't let you down
When Old Man Winter comes to town

He's got the whole world sleeping beneath a blanket of white
He's got everything shining on a full moon night
He's got kids of all ages, clowning around,
Building snow forts and knocking them down
He's got frost on the windows, ice on the stairs
Smoke from the chimney and pine in the air

When Old Man Winter comes to town
He's got a special way of dropping in
And spreading cheer around
You know Christmas is around the bend
And he won't let you down
When Old Man Winter comes to town

He knows Frosty the Snowman and all the reindeer
And everybody's happy when he's been here
Cause he talks to Santa and all of the elves
And he took one day of Christmas and he turned it into twelve

When Old Man Winter comes to town
He's got a special way of dropping in
And spreading cheer around
You know Christmas is around the bend
And he won't let you down
When Old Man Winter comes to town


2.The Brightest Star

God said 'I will place a star over Bethlehem
So that all can find their way to see the Son of Man.'
The shepherds and the wisest kings
Fell on their knees to pray
What a wondrous sight it must have been
On that Christmas day

Heaven opened up its gates
And peace filled every heart
Guided by the Holy light
Of The Brightest Star

Baby Jesus lying in a manger full of hay
Gifts of gold lay at His feet as all the angels sang
Glory Halleluia
Christ the King was born
To take away the sins of man
On that Christmas morn

Heaven opened up its gates
And peace filled every heart
Guided by the Holy light
Of The Brightest Star

Heaven opened up its gates
And peace filled every heart
Guided by the Holy light
Of The Brightest Star


3.Earl The Christmas Squirrel

Earl the Christmas Squirrel works form dawn till dusk
Scurrying all around the world collecting Christmas nuts
Walnuts, chestnuts, hazlenuts, peanuts
And on his Hawaiian cruise
He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!

Long ago on a winter's day Santa was riding on his sleigh
He saw Earl jumping through the trees
he stopped to watch for a little while
hi rosy cheeks tipped on his smile
he said 'Earl would you do that for me?'

So Earl the Christmas Squirrel works from dawn till dusk
scurrying all around the world collecting Christmas nuts
Walnuts, chestnuts, hazlenuts, peanuts,
And on his Hawaiian cruise
He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!

So if you see a squireel up in a tree
You never know, it just might be
Earl gathering nuts for Christmas Eve
Now he's a part of Santa's crew
Just like the elves and Rudolph too
Working all year long for you and me

So Earl the Christmas Squirrel works from dawn till dusk
Scurrying all around the world collecting Christmas nuts
Walnuts, chestnuts, hazlenuts, peanuts
And on his Hawaiian cruise
He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!
He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!


4.The Greatest Gift

Peace On Earth

No sugar plums
No stockings hung
But in their hearts
Christmas carols will be sung
They huddle round
In this little town
When celebrating the birth of Christ
New life is found

Peace on Earth
Good will to all men
Give joy to the season by reaching out your hand
The Greatest Gift is the love we give
And we will find true peace of mind in the way we live

Peace on Earth
Good will to all men
Give joy to the season by reaching out your hand
The Greatest Gift is given free
True peace of mind, can't be found, beneath a Christmas tree
And we will find true peace of mind within you and me
Peace On Earth


5.Santa's In My Neighborhood

I hear footsteps on my roof
Sure must be some awesome dude
Bailing down the chimney with a big sack of loot
I hope he's wearing his bestest suit
All year long, I've been good
And Santa's in my neighborhood

Well he's driving that sleigh at the speed of light
To a billion houses in just one night
And there's milk and cookies at everyone
Man that man must weigh a ton
All year long, I've been good
And Santa's in my neighborhood

Christmas comes but once a year
And I sure hope it comes here
All my life I will believe
In the man that comes on Christmas eve
I'm so glad I've been so good
Cause Santa's in my neighborhood
All year long, I've been good
And Santa's in my neighborhood

Well I'm so glad I've been so good cause Santa's in my
neighborhood
I hear footsteps on my roof, sure must be some awesome dude
All my life I will believe in that man that comes at Christmas
Eve


6.How Would Jesus Feel

Think about a little boy
Born on Christmas Day
There's a party going on
But he feels so out of place
Cause every one is having fun
And playing with their games
There're presents for these other kids
But none that bare his name

That's how Jesus feels at Christmas
Sometimes he gets left out
Not every one remembers what the season's all about
So when you're out their buying gifts
Imagine what he might say
And how would Jesus feel if he came to your house Christmas Day

He feels so lonely
Rejected and torn
He thinks, why was I forgotten
On the day that I was born
Well there's, nothing wrong with Santa Claus
And lights and mistletoe
But don't forget the baby boy
That was born so long ago

How will Jesus feel this Christmas
Will he be left out
Will every one remember what the season's all about
So when you're out there buying gifts
Imagine what he might say
And how would Jesus feel if he came to your house Christmas day
And how would Jesus feel if he came to your house Christmas Day


7.Oh What A Wonderful Day

It's Christmas morning and Daddy's snoring as we sneak down the
stairs
Outside it's snowing, our tree is glowing, there's magic in the
air
To our surprise, before our eyes, there's presents everywhere
He hasn't forgotten to fill our stockings with Apples and
Oranges and Pears

Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait
Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate
Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that
momma makes
Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful day

There's carolers singing and church bells ringing everywhere
today
Uncles and cousins and kin by the dozens droppin' by to say

Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait
Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate
Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that
momma makes
Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful day

Merry Christmas to one and all it's all been worth the wait
Rip off the ribbons and open the gifts it's time to celebrate
Bring on the turkey, the ham and the yams and the cookies that
momma makes
Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful day

Christmas only comes once a year
Oh what a wonderful
Yes what a wonderful
Oh what a wonderful day


8.Santa Knows

Heard a scream and right before my eyes
There was Daddy swingin' by
Using those Christmas lights like a jungle vine
Can't repeat what I heard him say
'Cause it's gettin' real close to Christmas Day
I'd take the chance but I'd know Santa knows

Santa knows everything I do
He knows everything I say
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong
'Cause Santa knows

Shakin' the gifts underneath the tree
Everything sounded so good to me
'Til I raised up and that tree come a-tumblin' down
Mama come a-runnin--had that look in her eyes
Woulda blamed it on the dog but I couldn't lie
I'd take the chance but I'd know Santa knows

Santa knows everything I do
He knows everything I say
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong
'Cause Santa knows

Granny's sugar cookies were sittin' on the shelf
Mama said 'Don't go helpin' yourself'
But I couldn't see the harm in takin' just one
No one was lookin' the moment was right
I knew they'd be good 'n I could steal a bite
I'd take the chance but I'd know Santa knows

Santa knows everything I do
He knows everything I say
So I ain't gonna do nuthin wrong
'Cause Santa knows

Ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong

Can't take a chance
Ain't gonna do nuthin' wrong
'cause Santa knows
'Cause Santa knows


9.Christmas Eve

You can't believe everything you hear
And only half of what you see
But you can't deny the magic of a Christmas tree
It can melt a heart of stone
Bring warmth into a home
Give you strength when your alone on Christmas Eve
The message is so real
That's exactly how I feel
For the feelings everywhere on Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve
Hang up your guns
This Christmas Eve
Aim with your heart
This Christmas Eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This Christmas Eve

There's a light that shines above
It's a symbol of our love
Like the star upon the tree in our living room
So I believe it's true
It's wrapped inside of you
The gift of love comes through on Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve
Hang up your guns
This Christmas Eve
Aim with your heart
This Christmas Eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve
This Christmas Eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This Christmas Eve


10.Santa Left A Hole In Daddy's Pocket

Christmas time rolls around once a year
And I can't hardly wait
But Daddy looks at it differently
He don't mind if it comes late
Us kids get everything we want
And momma gets a whole lot too
And Dad's still got the same old thing
He never gets nothing new

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
Once again this year
He surprised with all kinds of gifts
Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer
Momma got a brand new apron
And once again wouldn't you know
Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket

This year Daddy had a plan
To get old Saint Nick back
He ate his milk and cookies
And hid all of his slacks
But Santa he knows everything
You know he can't be fooled
And Dad's still got the same old thing
He never gets nothing new

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
Once again this year
He surprised with all kinds of gifts
Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer
Momma got a brand new apron
And once again wouldn't you know
Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket

Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
Once again this year
He surprised with all kinds of gifts
Sent Uncle Joe some some Christmas cheer
Momma got a brand new apron
And once again wouldn't you know
Santa left a hole in Daddy's pocket
