Description

"Christmas Time Is Here" is a popular song was written by Vince Guaraldi for the 1965 Charlie Brown Christmas Special. Intitally the song was an instrumental but Guaraldi added the lyrics at the last minute. This is a personal mix I made along with the video depicting the nostalgic look of Christmas through the years... enjoy!

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
