[Verse 1]
Baby, I can't wait for late December
The smell of cinnamon and pine
But we'll be taking out the Christmas timber
And hanging up the fairy lights
We can have a party, you can sing the carols
We're not going out at all
I got everything I need right here
There's no one else I need to call

[Chorus]
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down (Snow falling down)
We're snuggled up inside
We got love with us, it's a good Christmas
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, la la la la
La la la, la la la la

[Verse 2]
Cozy up right by the fireplace and watch our favorite movies play
Cooking up a feast for kings and queens
Our castle is our sacred place
And we can have a party, dancing to the carols
We're not going out at all
I got everything I need right here
I know we're gonna have a ball

[Chorus]
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down (Snow falling down)
We're snuggled up inside
We got love with us, it's a good Christmas
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

[Bridge]
Make a Christmas vow (Make a Christmas vow)
All we need is now (All we need is now)
All we have is us, we're more than enough
Now we made this house a home
A beautiful world of our own
Do this every year, we're not leaving here

[Chorus]
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime
Let the snow fall down (Snow falling down)
We're snuggled up inside
We got love with us, it's a good Christmas
'Cause there's no, no place like home at Christmastime

[Outro]
Oh, no place like home at Christmastime
Yeah, no place like home at Christmastime
Sing it with me, y'all, come on
Hey, no place like home at Christmastime
No place like home at Christmastime
Oh baby, feels good to be home
Feels good to be home, yeah
There's no place like home, there's no place like home
Cooking meals, baby, yeah, ooh

John Legend

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
