Texty: Aretha Franklin. This Christmas Aretha. This Christmas.

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better this Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas

Fireside is blazing bright
And we're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be a
A very special Christmas for me, yeah, yeah

Alright, Eddie, my son
Sing it, Eddie

Oh, presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you this Christmas
And as I look around, your eyes outshine the town
Oh they do this Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright
We're caroling through the night

Eddie, you mustn't upstage your mama with those kinds of notes
Shake a hand, shake a hand, be a friend, be a friend, y'all

This Christmas

Oh, the fireside is blazing bright
And we're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very, very, very special Christmas for real, yes it will

This is what we got to do, gang
For me this Christmas, this Christmas
You'll be sittin' somewhere, and you've got the blues
Think about the man who ain't got no shoes, yeah, yeah

Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Higher, higher, hang on, hold on to Christmas
Hang on, hold on until Christmas
Yeah, hold on to your faith, 'til Christmas and after, oh, and after

This Christmas, this Christmas, this Christmas
Well, well, well, well, well, well
Hold on, hold on, hold on 'til Christmas
You gotta hold on
