Christmas Party Lyrics

so christmas is here again with its tinsel and lights
the city is covered in snow
at our house family and friends have gathered tonight
to eat drink and share the holiday cheer
and this december like decembers before
we find ourselves reflecting
contemplating our lives as another chapter comes to a close
so here i sit at the christmas party
with a belly full of wine
while the celebration dances around me
and i dream of you
and you're singing to me
ooohhh-ooohhh-ooooooh-oooohh

i don't talk
just listen to the sleigh-bell song
and i felt tipsy
the snow is falling all around
i can't stand up
cause santa claus is coming to town
so hold on to me this christmas

but soon the music will fade
the last of the wine will be poured
and the dancing will cease
these old friends will make their way home
to sleep a restless sleep as st. nick makes his rounds
and by tomorrow afternoon as the last of the wraping paper is tossed into the fire
this christmas will be over
why must it all go by so fast?
santa claus
this christmas
don't let these friends go home
don't let the revelry end
and don't leave me here, alone
ooohhh-ooohhh-ooooooh-oooohh

i don't talk
just listen to the sleigh-bell song
and i felt tipsy
the snow is falling all around
i can't stand up
cause santa claus is coming to town
so hold on to me this christmas

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

that part "and you're singing to me" gives me the nice kind of chills, so sweet.
