I Know It's Time for Christmas

Written by Fred Rogers & Josey Carey

I know it's time for Christmas
I see it everywhere
I know it's time for Christmas
There's Christmas in the air

My mom is busy baking
With fruit and nuts and spice
My dad has found a pine tree
My brother's being nice

I see more signs of Christmas every day
The people smile a special secret way

I know it's time for Christmas
Before the greetings start
I know it's time for Christmas
I feel it in my heart

I know it's time for Christmas
I'm waiting for the snow
I know it's time for Christmas
We've hung our mistletoe

There are packages arriving
The mailman's loaded down
The colored lights on Main Street
Are brightening up the town

The children all are anxious to receive
The presents Santa brings on Christmas Eve

I know it's time for Christmas
Before the greetings start
I know it's time for Christmas
I feel it in my heart
