How Do You Write a Christmas Song

How do you write a Christmas song
Full of love, peace and good cheer
It certainly can’t be too long
And good if it brought an occasional tear


How do you write a Christmas song
Without reindeers and snow
You must be able to sing along
And it should give you a warm glow


How do you write a Christmas song
That will last for years
With words that are sound and strong
So it stays in our ears.
