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
