Most wonderful Time of the Year

It's the most wonderful time of the year With the kids jingle belling And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer" It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting Marshmallows for toasting And caroling out in the snow There'll be scary ghost stories And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year There'll be much mistletoeing And hearts will be glowing When love ones are near It's the most wonderful time of the year
