I like to hear that music
The music of today
And do the latest dances
In a crazy way
But when it comes to Christmas
I put away the new
And celebrate the holiday
The way I used to do

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Hang the stockings on the fireplace
Put the presents 'neath the tree
Just like an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Get together all the family
Just like it used to be

Now I can take the city
And the sandy shores
Where there's always sunshine
Now who could ask for more
But when I think of Christmas
And the fallen snow
To the fun filled mountains
Is where I want to go

Well winter and it's magic
Are upon us once again
Bringing all those memories
Of fun times way back when
Well I am not a dreamer
But I really have to say
They really don't make Christmases
Like the ones of yesterday

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Hang the stockings on the fireplace
Put the presents 'neath the tree
Just like an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Get together all the family
Just like it used to be

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Hang the stockings on the fireplace
Put the presents 'neath the tree
Just like an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Get together all the family
Just like it used to be
