[Intro: Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus]
Hmm, hmmm
Ahh, ahh
Hmm, hmmm

[Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus & Both]
Christmas is a time for caring
Being at your best
Christmas is a time for sharing
Knowing you've been blessed
Christmas is a time for giving
Love is made of this
That’s what Christmas is

[Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus & Both]
Christmas is a joyful time
If you're the lucky ones
Some are blessed with gifts and trinkets
Others havin' none
Some have feasts up on the table
Others havin’ crumbs
There are the haves and the have-nots
And you could be either one
It's all about kindness
Love and compassion
Better to give than receive
That is a true fact
But those who don't know that
Well, they are the poorest indeed
And I hope you remember every December
That bright shining light from above
The promise from God's lips
The greatest of all gifts
Wrapped up in His wondrous love (His wondrous love)
So rejoice in His glory (Rejoice, rejoice)
The great Christmas story
And to all that you're sharing it with (Uh-huh)
You go tell it with passion (Oh)
Of love everlasting (Lasting)
'Cause that's what Christmas is

[Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus & Both]
Is a time for caring
Being at your best
Christmas is a time for sharing
Knowing you've been blessed
Christmas is a time for giving
Love is made of this
That’s what Christmas is

[Outro: Dolly Parton]
Mmm, hmm, mmm
That’s what Christmas is

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
