We wish you a Merry Christmas
A holy Christmas full of peace and joy
We wish you a Merry Christmas
A happy Christmas filled with God’s love
Vs 1
Well we’re here! Yes we’re here
To celebrate a special time of year
And we’re all gathered round the table of the Lord
To celebrate Christmas
Well we’re here, all gathered near
To share a smile with no tears
And we’re all gathered round the table of the Lord
To celebrate Christmas – CH
Vs 2
Carols are sung and the meal prepared
Presents are wrapped and hidden somewhere
And we’re all gathered round the table of the Lord
To celebrate Christmas
Santa’s baggy pants with song and dance
Christmas trees and reindeer prance
And we’re all gathered round the table of the Lord
To celebrate Christmas – CH

Celebrate Christmas notes
A tune which gets the young ones moving, the older ones clapping and the young at heart smiling. In this song I tried to keep the trappings of Christmas but emphasis the importance of gathering together around the table of the Lord. With five children I see Christmas time as a real opportunity to get closer together – a time to give freely of my time and energy to their needs and sometimes their wishes – and their children’s wishes as well!!
