Oooh-ooh
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays
Merry Christmas (oh yeah, hey)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)

[Verse 1: JC]
We've been waiting
All year for this night
And the snow is glistening
On the trees outside
And all the stockings
Are hung by the fireside
Waiting for Santa to arrive

[Pre-Chorus: JC]
And all the love will show
'Cause everybody knows
It's Christmas time
And all the kids will see
The gifts under the tree
It's the best time of year
For the family

[Chorus: All & JC]
It's a wonderful feeling (hey yeah)
Feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling
It's that time of year
Christmas time is here
And with the blessings from above
God sends you his love
And everything's okay
Merry Christmas, happy holidays (oh yeah)
Merry Christmas (oh-oh-oh)
Merry Christmas
Happy holidays (ooh-yeah)

[Verse 2: Justin & All]
Oh-oh!
Bells are ringing
It's time to scream and shout
(Scream and shout!)
And everybody playing
'Cause school's out
Celebrating the special times we share
Happiness 'cause love is in the air

[Pre-Chorus: Justin & All]
And all the love will show
'Cause everybody knows
It's Christmas time
And all the kids will see (will see)
The gifts under the tree (the tree)
It's the best time of year
For the family

[Chorus: All & Justin]
It's a wonderful feeling (wonderful feeling)
Feel the love in the room
From the floor to the ceiling (oh yeah, hey)
It's that time of year (that time of year)
Christmas time is here (oh yeah)
