Singing carols 
Stringing popcorn 
Making footprints in the snow 
Mem'ries 
Christmas mem'ries 
They're the sweetest ones I know  

Cookies baking 
In the kitchen 
Cards and ribbons 
Everywhere 
Frosty Christmas mem'ries 
Float like snowflakes in the air 

And oh the joy of waking Christmas morning 
The fam'ly round the tree 
We had a way of making Christmas morning 
As merry as can be 
I close my eyes and see 
Shiny faces 
Of all the children 
Who now have children of their own 
Funny 

But come December
I remember every Christmas I've known 
We had a way of making Christmas morning 
As merry as can be 
I close my eyes and see 
Those shiny faces 
Of all the children who now have children 
Of their own 
It's funny 

But come December 
When I remember 
Every Christmas I've ever known
Singing carols 
Stringing popcorn 
Shiny faces of all the children 
Precious mem'ries 
Of every Christmas
I've known
