This is yet another great song for end of year celebrations for children at Christmas from Patrica Smith’s collection, And the Angels Sang. She gently and sweetly puts the celebration into context and the message is for all of us.
The sheet music can be purchased as part the collection or as an individual downloadable sheet at Willow.
1 It’s not about the Christmas tree, it’s not about the toys.
It’s not about the tinsel, the parties and the noise.
Refrain
It’s all about the Christ child, the giving not the gifts.
It’s all about remembering that Love was born for this.
2 It’s not about the Santa suit, the reindeer, or the sleigh,
It’s not about the angels wings, the carols or the play.
Refrain
Bridge
It’s taking hands and making peace, and sharing what we have.
It’s welcoming the lost and lonely home.
3 It’s not what we are getting, it’s giving from our hearts,
It’s making peace and bringing joy, that’s where Christmas starts.
Refrain x2
