This Time of the Year
Embracing the Magic: Christmas Dreams in "This Time of the Year
Lyrics
Little girls and little boys
Children, both girls and boys
Dream of worlds full of toys
Imagine a world filled with toys
This time of the year
Refers to the current season
When Christmas is near
Emphasizes the proximity of Christmas
And evergreens are snowy white
Describes the snow-covered evergreen trees
Sleigh bells ring through the night
Highlights the sound of sleigh bells at night
This time of the year
Reiterates the focus on the current season
When Christmas is near
Reaffirms the closeness of Christmas
And somewhere near a steeple
Suggests a location near a church steeple
People kneel and pray
People are engaged in prayer near the steeple
And choirs sing carols
Choirs are singing traditional Christmas carols
Of Christmas Day
Specifically, carols related to Christmas Day
Santa Claus is on his way
Refers to the mythical figure of Santa Claus
With loads of joy on his sleigh
Suggests Santa is bringing happiness on his sleigh
This time of the year
Reiterates the focus on the current season
When Christmas is near
Expresses the nearing of Christmas
When Christmas is near
Repeats the emphasis on the proximity of Christmas
Oh, Santa Claus is on his way
Reiterates the arrival of Santa Claus
With loads of joy on his sleigh
Confirms Santa carrying joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
Reaffirms the focus on the current season
When Christmas is near
Emphasizes the closeness of Christmas
