My Favorite Christmas (In a Hundred Words or Less)

[Verse]

Do you remember that one Christmas

When we didn't think we'd be together

We were almost separated by the weather

But I ran through the snow

Right up to your window and smiled 'cause

I was so absolutely happy to be with you

[Chorus]

All our relatives were too afraid to drive

Through the snow

We spent the day alone

I swear!

It was as the most beautiful day

I know!

[Verse]

We sat by the fire and opened the presents

That we'd gotten for each other

Then after you telephoned your mother

We cuddled on the couch

Drank cocoa by the tree and you smiled

'Cause you were

So absolutely happy to be with me

[Chorus]

The day went by so fast

And as night approached

We laughed at our luck

The snow had let up

After the roads were cleared

All our relatives

Suddenly appeared!

[Verse]

So we blew out the candles and replaced

Frank Sinatra with Phil Spector's Christmas record

Our grandparents filed in all plaid and Checkered

With their arms filled with gifts

And delicious desserts and we smiled

'Cause we were so absolutely happy...

So very, very, happy

To be together!
