Christmas must be something more

I've own a lot of Christmas CDs. I try to buy one each year. This year's purchase was the Taylor Swift Christmas cd. I love it and have listened to it often. There is one song in particular that I really like and wanted to share with you. It totally reminds me of the true reason for the season - JESUS! It's entitled, "Christmas Must Be Something More." Its well worth the download on iTunes. In the meantime, here are the lyrics. Check it out.

Christmas Must Be Something More
What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing
Would the song still survive without 5 golden rings
Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe
What would happen if God never let it snow

What would happen if Christmas Carols told a lie
Tell me what you would find
You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wish they would always do
What if happiness came in a cardboard box
Then I'd think there was something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away
Tell me what would you find
You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
100 mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind
You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more
There's gotta be more

I LOVE that song. I think I listen to Taylor more than Baylee. I don't know who wrote the lyrics to that song, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out it was Taylor herself. She is an amazing songwriter and she's only 18.
