Story Behind The Song
It was Christmas Eve 2004. I was at work reflecting on my family and the thought came to me what if all things we think of about Christmas were gone. Love would still remain.

Lyrics
Would There Still Be A Christmas

Verse 1
If you take away the tinsel
Take down all the lights
Would there still be a Christmas,
If Santa stopped his flights?
And if no stockings were ever hung
And no cards left to write
Would there still be a Christmas,
On this holy night?
Chorus
Christmas isn?t about these things
Christmas is about family
Christmas isn?t the presents we bring
Christmas is all about love
Verse 2
If you take away the Christmas tree
Decorations and the songs
Would there still be a Christmas,
Or would Christmas be long gone?
And if no shopping was ever done
And no snow coming down
Would there still be a Christmas,
And a manger on the ground?
Bridge
Christmas can?t be lost
It will never cease
It?s forever locked
In our memories
(Bridge Cont.)
Christmas is our faith
Christmas is our love
It?s when families
Remember God above
It?s when families
Remember God above
Verse 1 & 2 Partial Reprise-
If you take away the tinsel
Decorations and the songs
Would there still be a Christmas,
Or would Christmas be long gone?
Chorus
Christmas isn?t about these things
Christmas is about family
Christmas isn?t the presents we bring
Christmas is all about love
Christmas isn?t the presents we bring
Christmas is all about love
Christmas is all about love
Christmas is all about love
