Christmas in the Country - Jewel
24 Xs on the calendar

The kids say, "Hooray! The big day's finally here!"
It's Christmas Eve

They set out Santa's cookies, just like rehearsed

Look so excited that they just might burst
It's Christmas Eve

And the kids won't go to sleep

It's Christmastime in the country

It's Christmastime

Before dawn, there's a chill in the air

Head to the tree to see the kids already there
It's Christmas day

There's cocoa and pancakes for the family

Loved ones gather all 'round the tree
This Christmas day
Everybody's got so much to say

It's Christmastime in the country

It's Christmastime

It's Christmastime

Had no clue what to do for Uncle Bob or Cousin Jean

It's sure good Santa Claus takes care of everything
This Christmastime

Opening presents, the kids are sure glad
But those kids are the best gift we ever could have
This Christmastime

We're gonna count our blessings tonight

It's Christmastime in the country

It's Christmastime

It's Christmastime in the country

It's Christmastime in the country

It's Christmastime

Thinks I'm gonna chop some wood

Gonna build me a fire

Gonna shovel some snow

On second thought, maybe
I'll get my husband to do it though

I just wanna sit around and watch my kiddie grow

Don't you know

It's Christmastime
