snowflakes fallin softly quietly to the ground everybody knows santa s comin round mistletoe and christmas carols have their part to play but they re not all it takes to make a happy christmas day stockings hanging by the fireplace one for you and me decorations red and green gifts beneath the tree the happy sound of jingle bells on a one horse sleigh but that s not all it takes to make a happy christmas day joys that swell within the hearts of every little child thoughts of mary and the baby jesus meek and mild the warm remembrance of our loved ones that have gone away these are the things it takes to make a happy christmas day
