Christmas Is the Time to Say 'I Love You'

I'm not sure what it is about the song, Christmas Is the Time to Say 'I Love You' sung by Billy Squier, but I just LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! It makes me smile when I hear it come on the radio!

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

Share the joys of laughter and good cheer

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

And a feeling that will last all through the year

And a feeling that will last all through the year! Sometimes I wish the Christmas spirit, the joy and laughter, the love, all of it.....all of it would be felt all year long. It seems as though, when Christmas is over, that's it. Lights out. Happiness gone out of some people. Back to the miserable world they live in.

On the corner carolers are singing

there's a touch of magic in the air

from grownup to minor no one could be finer

times are hard but no one seems to care

Christmas Eve and all the world is watching

Santa guides his reindeer through the dark

from rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini

they will find a way into your heart

This is another example of just how wonderful the season is and how timeless the lyrics are. Times are hard but no one seems to care.....no one truly seems to care, and even though times are tough right now, somehow, Christmas has a way of coming and everyone is satisfied. Presents are wrapped under trees, merriment is in the making, and people are happy. Most people.

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

Share the joys of laughter and good cheer

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

And a feeling that will last all through the year

Again, how wonderful! You can't help but smile when you hear this song! It always makes me want to sing along!!

Just outside the window snow is falling

but here beside the fire we share the glow

of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy

sentiments that everyone should know

Memories of the year that lays behind us

wishes for the year that's yet to come

and it stands to reason that good friends in season

make you feel that life has just begun

This particular verse is what my start to Christmas looks like. My husband and I celebrate our Christmas Anniversary by sitting on the couch, in the glow of the Christmas lights, the warmth of the fire and we exchange our anniversary gifts to one another. We talk about the year behind us and all the goodness that lay ahead of us. Our life truly has just begun!!!

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

Share the joys of laughter and good cheer

Christmas is the time to say "I love you"

And a feeling that will last all through the year

So when spirits grow lighter

and hopes are shinin' brighter

then you know that Christmas time is here

This song really could be my Christmas anthem! Never realized it until I wrote out this blog today! Sing it Billy Squier, sing it!!!  Now I hope I hear it on the road to Hershey today!!!!!

Until tomorrow, my friends.....I hope your spirits have grown lighter and your hopes are shinin' brighter because CHRISTMAS time is here!!!

Think Thankfully!!!
