The snow is falling, the bells are ringing

The houses are decked out in lights of red, green and blue.

But none of those say it's the holidays

As much as me hanging out under the mistletoe with you.

When it comes to the Christmas Spirit

I could talk about trees, presents and even a fireplace full of burning wood chips.

But none of them get me in the holiday mood as much

As hanging out under the mistletoe and kissing your soft lips.

There could be candles burning, carolers singing

and the laughter of children filling the room without resistance.

When I'm with you under the mistletoe

All of that fades into the distance.

Even if I get invited to spend this Christmas in an exotic location

With warm weather and an ocean view.

It will never compare to the joy I feel at this time each year

Just because I'm hanging out under the mistletoe with you.
