LYRICS
A chill in the air,
A wreath on a door
String of coloured lights on the neighbours’ porch
They’re putting out the eggnog on the shelves at the grocery store
Don’t take much – to get me in the mood for Christmas
First peppermint mocha, First sight of snow
First time hearing Mariah on the radio
Gets me wondering where I should hang the mistletoe
Don’t take much – to get me in the mood – for Christmas
When there’s decorations up on that tree
Fire’s burning and you’re here next to me
As long as we’re together,
Baby it’s better
Than any Hallmark movie playing on the TV
I don’t want a present, ain’t made a list
Just need cookies in the oven and Bailey’s in the fridge
It’s the season we’ll be seeing everybody that we miss
Don’t take much – to get me in the mood – for Christmas
When there’s decorations up on that tree
Fire’s burning and you’re here next to me
As long as we’re together,
Baby it’s better
Than any Hallmark movie playing on the TV
I don’t want a present, ain’t made a list
Just need cookies in the oven and Bailey’s in the fridge
It’s the season we’ll be seeing everybody that we miss
Don’t take much – to get me in the mood – for Christmas
Oh yeah
Don’t take much – to get me in the mood – for Christmas
