Sometimes it's hard to wrangle the "Christmas Spirit" these days. Often it shows up just in time.

lyrics

I awake Christmas blessed...

All of those mornings, all of those years
All of the laughter, all appear
in my dreams, the night before Christmas
and I awake Christmas blessed

No matter the reason, through the years
I feel the season as friends draw near
And just in time, the night before Christmas
and I awake Christmas blessed

It's not just nostalgia, it's too real to be
It's the light of my childhood returning to me
Cycle to cycle, tree after tree

There's still a child there in my dreams
Still full of laughter, though it seems
he's hard to awaken the morning of Christmas
perhaps that child wishes
that I awake Christmas blessed

Secrets and presents, and friends come to play
Phone calls from relatives, far away
I recall, the night before Christmas
and I awake Christmas blessed

It’s there in my memory, the scent of the tree
and Mom and Dad’s coffee, come back to me
Safe and familiar, the night before Christmas
and I awake Christmas blessed

And it's not just nostalgia, it's too real to be
It's the light of our childhood returning to each
Cycle to cycle, gift upon gift upon gift upon gift…

There's still a child there in your dreams
Still full of laughter, though it seems
he's hard to awaken the morning of Christmas
perhaps that child wishes
we all awake Christmas blessed

Perhaps that child wishes
The world will awaken Christmas blessed

I chose to use my surname, "Schweitzer," for practical reasons, realizing long ago that pronouncing "Richard Schweitzer" was difficult. "Schweitzer Projects" under the "tindog music & stuff" umbrella is producing songs in the Pop / Pop rock or folk categories ... more
