A while ago, I got to thinking just empty Christmas was going to be that year without family and friends who has passed away, and I got to thinking, "Christmas just ain't Christmas without you."

Lyrics

I remember all the memories, of Christmases we had
Family gatherings, all together, though the roads were bad
Those were good days and they seem, to return this time of year
But that's a good thing for they help me to remember crisp and clear

That Christmas is a time of year to focus on The One
Who came to give His life, for everyone
Faith, hope, love, and family, are what we all hold dear
But Christmas just ain't Christmas, without you
Christmas just ain't Christmas without you

Friends and loved ones light a candle for the ones who are not here
Still we gather with the one still left, and shed a festive tear
And the clock ticks; never seems to miss its ever steady beat
But that's a good thing I know time will help remove that bitter sting

(Chorus)

Christmas just ain't Christmas, without you
