Lyrics
Look at the happy people
Observing joyful and content people
Christmas is in the air
Sense of Christmas is prevalent
Well I know the secret of Christmas
Claiming knowledge of the true meaning of Christmas
A secret I'm willing to share/
Expressing a willingness to share the Christmas secret
Ohhh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah
Emphatic expression
It's not the glow you feel
Not the warm feeling associated with snowfall
When snow appears (appears, appears)
Emphasizing the abstract nature of Christmas
Yeah, it's not the Christmas card
Not the tradition of sending Christmas cards
You've sent for years and years and years
Not the routine of sending cards over the years
Not the joyful sound
Not just the happy sound of sleigh bells
When sleigh bells ring (ring, ring, ring, ring)
Highlighting the repetitive ringing of sleigh bells
Or the merry songs
Not just the cheerful songs sung by children
Children sing
Reference to the happiness in children's songs
Yeah the little gift you send
Small material gifts won't mend broken relationships
On your Christmas day
Emphasizing the insignificance of material gifts on Christmas
Will not bring back the friend
Material gifts won't reconcile with estranged friends
You've turned away
Reflection on turning away from a friend
So may I suggest
Suggesting an alternative approach
The secret of Christmas (the secret of Christmas)
Revealing the secret of Christmas
Is not the things you do at Christmas time
The essence of Christmas is not in specific activities
But the Christmas things you do
It's about maintaining a Christmas spirit throughout the year
All year through, woah
Underlining the importance of consistent Christmas values
La, la, la, la, la
Expressing joy and celebration
La, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la
-So may I suggest
Reiteration of the central message
The secret of Christmas (the secret of Christmas)
Reaffirming the secret of Christmas
But the Christmas things you do all year
Emphasizing the importance of year-round Christmas actions
Look at the happy people (It's not the things you do)
Repeating the observation of happy people
Christmas is in the air (It's not the glow you feel)
Reiteration of the Christmas atmosphere
Well I know the secret of Christmas
Restating the claim to know the secret of Christmas
A secret I'm willing to share
Reiterating the willingness to share the Christmas secret
Hoah, hooah
Expressing enthusiasm and celebration
Oh, oh, oh, oh
-The secret of Christmas
-The secret of Christmas
-The secret of Christmas
-Secret of Christmas, secret of Christmas
-Oh, oh, oh, oh
