You look so nice in that ugly sweater
So full of holiday cheer
You traveled through all that ice and snow
Just to make it to my front porch here
I'll take your bags and put 'em in the attic
'Cause that's where we all sleep
I hope you're ready for a rare tradition
You're in for a real big treat
Merry Christmas
Come meet my cousins, aunts and uncles, neighbors and friends
That's my brother, he's quite the talker
Meet my mother with the jolly sweet grin
Try the cookies dipped in the chocolate
Grab a seat and come sit by the tree
Merry Christmas, sure glad to have you
Welcome to the family
Oh, la da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da, la da da da da
(La da da da)
You smell the fire
We're about to roast some chestnuts
Just like they do in the song
That little bar there in the corner
Uncle Dave pours the eggnog strong
I hope you packed your old church clothes
'Cause tonight's Christmas Eve
We'll light some candles, sing Silent Night
Open presents and fall asleep
Merry Christmas
Come meet my cousins, aunts and uncles, neighbors and friends
That's my brother, he's quite the talker
Meet my mother with the jolly sweet grin
Try the cookies dipped in the chocolate
Grab a seat and come sit by the tree
Merry Christmas, sure glad to have you
Welcome to the family
Oh, la da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da
Here we go, uh
We'll wake up laughing to my Grandma snoring
With wrapping paper scattered on the floor
Start making plans to come again next year
But hold on for a second while I got you here
Merry Christmas
Come meet my cousins, aunts and uncles, neighbors and friends
That's my brother, he's quite the talker
Meet my mother with the jolly sweet grin
And try the cookies dipped in the chocolate
Grab a seat and come sit by the tree
Merry Christmas, sure glad to have you
Welcome to the family
Oh, la da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da, la da da da da (it's like it's falling from the sky)
La da da da da, la da da da da (look at my beautiful family)
La da da da
(Hey, I'd love you to sing it with me, come on)
La da da da da, la da da da da (woo, hey, Margo, come over here)
La da da da da, la da da da da (take a break from baking those cookies, yeah)
La da da da da, la da da da da (everybody in a circle)
La da da da (back and forth, put your arms around each other)
(Here we go, hey)
La da da da da, la da da da da (ah yeah)
La da da da da, la da da da da
La da da da da, la da da da da (make yourself at home)
La da da da
(Welcome to the family)
(When do we eat?)

It Must Be Christmas
Ah yeah
I sit at my desk, twiddle my thumbs
Feeling my heart go rump a bum bum
Cut me a slice of that peppermint cake
This snow globe world could sure use a shake
'Cause all the lights are blinking, wrapped around the trees
Carolers are singing up and down the street
I missed this
Oh, I think it must be Christmas
Ah yeah
Oh, and all my friends have finally made it back in town
Tommy plays piano as we gather 'round
Reminiscing, sleigh bells and mistletoe kisses
Oh, I think it must be Christmas
All the presents are wrapped, packed in the car
Just like my dad, got it down to an art
We all made it through a whole 'nother year
Oh, I'll take all the laughter and tears
'Cause all the lights are blinking, wrapped around the trees
Carolers are singing up and down the street
I missed this
Oh, I think it must be Christmas
Oh yeah
Oh, and all my friends have finally made it back in town
Tommy plays piano as we gather 'round
Reminiscing, sleigh bells and mistletoe kisses
Oh, I think it must be Christmas
And maybe I'll walk around the square, yeah
'Cause I always find that feeling there, oh yeah
Oh, and all the lights are blinking, wrapped around the trees
Carolers are singing up and down the street
I missed this
Oh, I think it must be Christmas
Oh yeah
Oh, and all my friends have finally made it back in town
Tommy plays piano as we gather round
Reminiscing, sleigh bells and mistletoe kisses
So good I think that I dreamt it
Oh, got everything on my wish list
Oh, I think it must be Christmas
Oh, oh
I sit at my desk, twiddle my thumbs
Feeling my heart go rump a bum bum
Cut me a slice of that peppermint cake
This snow globe world could sure use a shake
'Cause all the lights are blinking, wrapped around the trees
Carolers are singing up and down the street
I missed this
Oh, I think it must be Christmas
Ah yeah

Sweet December
[ Featuring Kelly Clarkson ]
I need a holiday
I felt so out of place
I find the only truth
Is in your eyes
The world feels upside down
You turn it back around
Through wind and snow you are my northern star
Baby, baby, turn on the Christmas tree
Take me home and set me free
A blanket's good but your love's even better
Baby, baby, put on the classic songs
You make me wanna sing along
Your heart's good at making me remember
It's gonna be a sweet December
The year was long, it's true
But I'm holding onto you
We're melting by the fire
As it pops
And the holly fills the air
There's beauty everywhere
And you lead me to the light
Don't ever stop
Baby, baby, turn on the Christmas tree
Take me home and set me free
A blanket's good but your love's even better
Baby, baby, put on the classic songs
You make me wanna sing along
Your heart's good at making me remember
It's gonna be a sweet December
I follow your footprints
In the snow
Your love is what always
Leads me home
Baby, baby, turn on the Christmas tree
Take me home and set me free
A blanket's good but your love's even better
Baby, baby, put on the classic songs
You make me wanna sing along
Your heart's good at making me remember
It's gonna be a sweet
December (December)
Oh, it's gonna be a (oh, yeah)

Warm and Cozy
Ah yeah
Grab a blanket
And turn on Christmas Vacation
Start a fire
And light up that pretty tree
Oh, scooch in closer
And don't hog all that hot chocolate
Or graham crackers and mallows
And I hope you save some kisses for me
It feels so warm and cozy
Snow is piling at the door
But baby, as long as you hold me
I'm snuggled up and wanting more
Of your cinnamon flavored ChapStick
And your cheeks so soft and rosy
Whoa, you make me feel so warm and cozy
Grab a sweater
The one you painted with all the reindeer
Know what would be even better
Write your name in the frosty window
I'd spin you in circles
While we dance like a couple nutcrackers
Oh no, I hope you don't stumble
And fall beneath the mistletoe
It feels so warm and cozy
Snow is piling at the door
But baby, as long as you hold me
I'm snuggled up and wanting more
Of your cinnamon flavored ChapStick
And your cheeks so soft and rosy
Whoa, you make me feel so warm and cozy
(So warm and cozy)
(So warm and cozy) yes, you do, yeah
(So warm and cozy)
(So warm and cozy)
Oh, and sure we could go outside
And roll around in a field of snow
But I'd rather melt in here
Watching your eyes shimmer and glow
You feel so warm and cozy
Snow is piling at your door
But baby, as long as you hold me
I'm snuggled up and wanting more
Of your cinnamon flavored ChapStick
And your cheeks so soft and rosy
Oh, you make me feel so warm and cozy
Oh, you make me feel so warm and cozy
(So warm and cozy)
(So warm and cozy) warm and cozy, oh
(So warm and cozy)
(So warm and cozy) arm and cozy
(So warm and cozy)
(So warm and cozy)
Grab a blanket
And turn on Christmas Vacation
Start a fire
And light up that pretty tree
Oh, scooch in closer
And don't hog all that hot chocolate
Or graham crackers and mallows
And I hope you save some kisses for me
It feels so warm and cozy

The Night St. Nick Got Sick
Ah, okay
Pull up a seat in the frosty snow
I got a story that's gotta be told
'Bout my trip to the old North Pole
So hold on tight (hold on tight)
I got lost up in the evergreens
Most beauty that I ever seen
Saw a house that glisten and gleamed
So I knocked twice
An old man with a pearly white beard
Opened up, smiling ear to ear
He said, "It's 'bout time you made it here, come on inside" (come inside)
He said, "I got a snivel and an aching head"
"Mrs. Claus is saying, 'now get to bed'"
He winked at me and then he said
"If you're not busy tonight"
"Could you, put on the suit, it's in the closet"
"Say hi to Rudi, say hi to Comet"
"Take the reins and shake the bells and you'll be on your way"
"Down the chimney, stick the landing"
"Try the cookies, drop the presents"
"I know it's a lot to ask, but would you take my place"
And my belly grew twelve inches and my beard grew white and thick
On the night St. Nick got sick
Come on, ah
He said, I look really fresh in red
Fuzzy hat warming up my head
I said, "Santa chill, stay in bed, it'll be alright"
Then the sleigh lifted off the ground
I was soaring fast, town to town
Scared of heights but I still looked down
And I held tight
Now Santa called on the jingle line
Said, "You got it kid, you're doing fine"
He thanked me, I said, "Anytime you need to take a break"
I'll put on the suit in the closet
Say hi to Rudi, say hi to Comet
Take the reins and shake the bells and I'll be on my way (I'll be on my way)
Down the chimney, stick the landing
Try the cookies, drop the presents
I said, "Jolly man, I got your back, I'll try to take your place"
And my belly grew twelve inches and my beard grew white and thick
On the night St. Nick got sick
Well, Santa's back in business now
I trimmed the beard, lost the pounds
I swear it's true and I don't know how
But late one Christmas eve, I got to
Put on the suit in the closet
Said hi to Rudi, said hi to Comet
Took the reins and shook the bells and I was on my way (I was on my way)
Down the chimney, stuck the landing (down the chimney, stuck the landing)
Tried the cookies, dropped the presents (tried the cookies, dropped the presents)
I had a jolly good time but no one could take his place
And the elves still send me post cards, that's me as Santa in the pic
From the night St. Nick got sick
Ah, from the night St. Nick got sick
Don't you worry, he'll be alright
Pull up a seat in the frosty snow
I got a story that's gotta be told
'Bout my trip to the old North Pole
So hold on tight (hold on tight)
I got lost up in the evergreens
Most beauty that I ever seen
Saw a house that glisten and gleamed

Season of Lights and Wonder
Put up your lights, open your eyes
It's a season of lights and wonder
Lay in the snow, soak in the glow
Shine in the moon that your under
And fill up your cup with coca and love
And go give a kiss to your mother
Oh, welcome home to the season of lights and wonder
Put a star on the tree, a bow on the wreath
And come lay your head on my shoulder
'Cause it comes and it goes
So pull it in close and hold it real tight 'fore it's over
'Cause time is a gift, let's all be like kids
Grateful to have one another
Oh, welcome home to the season of lights and wonder
The angel's sing and the church bells ring
As the year's fly past, we can still go back
Just put up your lights, open your eyes
It's a season of lights and wonder
Oh, come sing along at the top of your lungs
The best gift of all is each other
Oh, welcome home to the season of lights and wonder
Oh, come on, it's the season of light and wonder
It's a season of lights and wonder
Lay in the snow, soak in the glow
Shine in the moon that your under
And fill up your cup with coca and love
And go give a kiss to your mother
Oh, welcome home to the season of lights and wonder
Put a star on the tree, a bow on the wreath
And come lay your head on my shoulder
'Cause it comes and it goes
So pull it in close and hold it real tight 'fore it's over
'Cause time is a gift, let's all be like kids
Grateful to have one another
Oh, welcome home to the season of lights and wonder
The angel's sing and the church bells ring
As the year's fly past, we can still go back
Just put up your lights, open your eyes
It's a season of lights and wonder
Oh, come sing along at the top of your lungs
The best gift of all is each other
Oh, welcome home to the season of lights and wonder
Oh, come on, it's the season of light and wonder

Who Will You Be Kissing on New Year's Eve?
[ Featuring Idarose ]
Tonight's the night
You sparkle with your glass of that French champagne
It's 'bout that time
I'm dancin' to the band as you float my way
I smile and say
Oh, baby
Who will you be kissin' on New Year's Eve?
In your shiny dress standing by a tree
When they turn the lights down and that bell rings
Oh, I hope that I'm not being too naive
But I was kinda hoping that it'd be me
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do do
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do
We're getting close
The fireworks are lit and you're the perfect view
Just don't let go
I hear the countdown, I guess it's time to choose
What will you do?
Oh, baby
Who will you be kissin' on New Year's Eve?
In your black tux and your gold cuff links
When they turn the lights down and that bell rings
Oh, I hope that I'm not being too naive
But I was kinda hoping that it'd be me
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do do
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do
The ball is dropping
My heart is stopping
The corks are popping
There's no use walking away
Ah, yeah
Oh, baby
Who will you be kissin' on New Year's Eve?
In your shiny dress
In your gold cuff links
When they turn the lights down and that bell rings
Oh, I hope that I'm not being too naive
But I was kinda hoping that it'd be me
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do do
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do do
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do do
Ba do do do, ba do, ba do, ba do do

Welcome to the Family (Reprise)
Welcome to the family
Now that you're part of the family
I want you to meet deep down
Some of the people that I love
And you probably have some characters in your family
Just like this
So first off here's my Uncle Jim
He's like Clark Griswald energy
He loves a little bourbon by the fire
He helps me roast the chestnuts
He's that fun uncle that everybody wants to hang out with
Uncle Jim, why don't you give us a little introduction
You ready to go?
Come on!
Haha! Everybody's got that lovable uncle
The life of the party
Oh
Uncle Jim ra
Okay
Now my sweet, sweet mother
My mother is is the most selfless person I know
She worries about her son way too much
She worries about everything a little bit too much
But around the holidays she gets a little sip
Of something and she starts talking a lot
And she starts smiling
And she loves everybody
You are a treat
Now there's my big brother
If you have a big brother you know
But my big brother's been there from day one
He's there for me
He can be serious but he can also loosen up around the holidays
And he'll get you in the corner
He'll talk your ear off
He can talk to anybody
One of the best guys I know this is my brother
And then there's my Uncle Dave
He's over there in the corner
You see him by the bar
Hey Uncle Dave, yeah
He's the guy pouring the biggest drinks you've ever seen
He has huge catchers mitt hands
He's a farmer so he just
He has huge hands
And he does not want you to touch the thermostat
Because God forbid it's 72 in here and not 73
I love you Uncle Dave
And now here we come to you, yes you
I got to say, now you've met my whole crazy family
At least part of it
And there's a whole lot more
All of you out there
I want you to just feel like yourself
I know sometimes you're scared
Sometimes the world is crazy
But tonight you are part of the family
Stretch your stuff it's Christmas time, baby
Ah I know it's a little overwhelming
All these crazy family members
You don't pick your family
But you're so glad you have them
Come on!
Just sing along with us
Put your arms around each other
Welcome to the family
Come on
Woo
Ah
Sing it!
You feel good?
