I wrote this after hearing so many friends and family members complaining about the hassles at Christmas time. The song sums up what I think is important durng the season.

Lyrics

No More Than Christmas
words and music Copyright 2001

Verse:
It’s more than presents under twinkling trees.
More than carols that we sing  in the crisp December breeze.
It’s more than listening for sleigh bells in the night.
More than Christmas cards we send that take so long to write.

Chorus:
But it’s no more than going home to be with those who care.
No more than a helping hand, taking time to share.
No more than remembering to thank the Lord above,
It’s Christmas, and it’s no more than love.

Verse:
It’s more than mistletoe, a stolen Christmas kiss.
It’s more than shopping and parties you can’t miss.
It’s more than snowy nights spent by a fireplace.
It’s more than memories of any time or place.

Chorus:
But it’s no more than going home to be with those who care.
No more than a helping hand, taking time to share.
No more than remembering to thank the Lord above,
It’s Christmas, and it’s no more than love.
