Christmas Like Mama Used To Make It; Metro Lyrics 2008

It might seem a little bit old-fashioned,

And it may not be the trend of the year.

But let's take the store-bought feeling out of Christmas,

And have the kind that mama held so dear.

Let's not have a single pie if we can't make it,

And I'll sharpen up the axe to cut our tree.

Let the little ones make all the decorations

And get back to the way it used to be.

Let's have Christmas like mama used to make it...

Back before we all had it made.

Let's spend time spending love instead of money.

Take a sleigh ride back into the good old days.

For it's there that lies the strength of our family,

The Good Lord intended it that way.

So this year, let's do our best not to fake it...

Let's have Christmas like mama used to make it.

Let's call Uncle Ed to tune that old piano.

It's been too long since we've all sang "Silent Night".

Let the rest of the world have it their way,

But this year, we're going to do it right!

Let's have Christmas like mama used to make it...

Back before we all had it made.

Let's spend time spending love instead of money.

Take a sleigh ride back into the good old days.

For it's there that lies the strength of our family

The Good Lord intended it that way

So this year, let's do our best not to fake it...

Let's have Christmas like mama used to make it.
