As I wait here on this evening in December,
I remember how it felt to be a child.
This old house still feels the same.
All the fam'ly will be here in just awhile.

I hope Daddy gets here first to build a fire;
He's the only one who has that special touch.
Then my sister with her kids
And my Grandma, who I love so very much.

Oh I'm glad we'll be together
On this evening in December.
We'll watch the falling snow
And hold each other close.
I'm so glad we'll be together
For an evening to remember
On this night, on this December night.

Sometimes out on the road it gets so lonely,
'Cause I miss those special people I hold dear.
Tho' our calendars are full,
At least for this one night we'll all be here.

How the children love this evening in December.
And while the smallest ones are playing on the floor,
There's a warmth I can't explain,
And I feel the love of those who've gone before.

And I'm glad we're here together
On this evening in December.
We'll watch the falling snow
And hold each other close.
I'm so glad we're here together
For an evening to remember
On this night, on this December night.

Keep the fire burning here
Until we all come back next year.

And I'm glad we're here together
On this evening in December.
We'll watch the falling snow
And hold each other close.
I'm so glad we're here together
For an evening to remember
On this night, on this December night.
