CHRISTmas time again- Klove free song
It's already December. And it's hard to escape the decorations at the mall, the songs on the radio.
My brother is finally home, and this year, after each of us has been overseas over an extended period of time, we will be together for Christmas. And really, even if you aren't Christian, there is an unspoken draw of spending the festive season together, maybe singing carols, eating food and exchanging gifts.
For me, Christmas is really one of my favourite times of the year. 1) it's all about Jesus-- not xmas, it's CHRIST-mas 2) there's a tonne of singing 3) it's all about family and friends gatherings 4) i get to prepare plenty of gifts 5) we get holidays 6) I love fairy lights 7)... the list goes on. But at the heart of Christmas, is Christ. Don't get fooled into calling it x-mas because it's easier but let us recognize the true reason for the season!
Here is the first Christmas song I'm sharing this year. Steven Curtis Chapman goes to explain how the song came about. It's a lovely little jingle that is bound to get you feeling like it's Christmas time again, even if you are in Australia facing a huge heatwave and no chance of snow!

Steven Curtis Chapman: "Christmas Time Again"
lyrics: http://www.klove.com/music/artists/steven-curtis-chapman/songs/christmas-time-again-lyrics.aspx
Christmas time is here
Come and celebrate the best time of the year
The jingle bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing their Christmas songs
Christmas time has come
Can you hear the little drummer boy playing his drum
And everywhere you go, somebody’s wishing you a
Merry Christmas
And Mr. Cole is singing his chestnuts song
While we decorate the Christmas tree
And I’m still dreaming that a snowy white Christmas
Just might make it down to Tennessee
And it’s Christmas time again
Time to gather with your family and your friends
And thank God for His gift of Love
On Christmas
And Grandma’s baking her pumpkin pie
And her world famous casserole
The kids are playing games on the living room floor
And I’m waiting for my baby with some mistletoe
And it’s Christmas time again
Time to gather with your family and your friends
And thank God for His gift of Love
We’re gonna thank God for His gift of Love
Thank God for His gift of Love
This Christmas
It’s Christmas time again
Oh, it’s Christmas time again
Everybody, sing joy to the world, the Lord is come
And let’s thank God for His gift of Love this Christmas
Hear the little drummer boy playing his drum
We’re gonna thank God for His gift of love this Christmas
Singing joy to the world, the Lord is come
Come and celebrate the best time of the year
The jingle bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing their Christmas songs
Christmas time has come
Can you hear the little drummer boy playing his drum
And everywhere you go, somebody’s wishing you a
Merry Christmas
And Mr. Cole is singing his chestnuts song
While we decorate the Christmas tree
And I’m still dreaming that a snowy white Christmas
Just might make it down to Tennessee
And it’s Christmas time again
Time to gather with your family and your friends
And thank God for His gift of Love
On Christmas
And Grandma’s baking her pumpkin pie
And her world famous casserole
The kids are playing games on the living room floor
And I’m waiting for my baby with some mistletoe
And it’s Christmas time again
Time to gather with your family and your friends
And thank God for His gift of Love
We’re gonna thank God for His gift of Love
Thank God for His gift of Love
This Christmas
It’s Christmas time again
Oh, it’s Christmas time again
Everybody, sing joy to the world, the Lord is come
And let’s thank God for His gift of Love this Christmas
Hear the little drummer boy playing his drum
We’re gonna thank God for His gift of love this Christmas
Singing joy to the world, the Lord is come
