Merry Christmas! This song really got me going recently when it came up on my Pandora feed. I just don't understand why everyone in the world can only get along and be happy just once a year, at Christmas. The song talks about how we only love and have the "Christmas spirit" in December. Christmas time is all year, God never said that we were only allowed to worship him for sending his son for us one time a year, then the rest of the year carry on like it doesn't matter. Listen to the words, let it sink in, then, from now on I will make sure to "...love like its Christmas more than once a year." Smile and the world smiles back. Have a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Eve
Mom and dad
Load the car
With grocery bags
They take the kids
And drive downtown
And spend the night
Passing food out
Once a year December's here and our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer to those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something if we all learned to love
Like it's Christmas more than once a year?
No one rings a bell
At the mall in June
But nobody said
We can't give then too
And when autumn comes
With its changing leaves
Could we spend more time
With the least of these
Once a year December's here and our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer to those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something if we all learned to love
Like it's Christmas more than once a year?
Love is patient, love is kind
Love will always find the time
Love is now and love is here
Love is more than once a year
Once a year December's here and our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer to those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something if we all learned to love
Like it's Christmas, oh, more than once a year?

Wouldn't it be something if we all learned to love
Like it's Christmas, oh, more than once a year?
