Story Behind The Song

I was inspired by the movie "The Grinch" starring Jim Carey and also by a trip with my family to Flagstaff, AZ during Christmas time.

Song Description

It's about various elements of the weather. Example: Children playing in the snow, horses and sleigh in the snow. Frozen dew in the morning, snow on the family's clothing as they enter church.

Lyrics

Christmas in little Town Villa

Verse1
The tallest pine trees laden with snow in lights that twinkle the midnight sky.
Below when the morning sun wakes, frozen dew breaks, it's Christmas in Little Town Villa.

Verse 2:
The children slept cozy but wake with pink toesies and dreams of Christmas still in their eyes. "Wake up", mommy says, "It's Christmas!"
Dressed in things of red, gold, and green and Christmas bows and ties, with warm breads in bellies and cream cheese and jellies, it?s Christmas in little town Villa.

Chorus:
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, it's Christmas,
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, it's Christmas,
It's Christmas in Little Town Villa.

Verse 3:
Hats and mittens as warm as gray kittens it's off to church we go. They run with smiles on their faces, in the snow there'll be races. It?s Christmas in little town Villa.

Verse 4:
Sleighs with horses and bells the children in the snow are still lagging behind.
?We must go? Mommy says, ?It?s Christmas?.

Verse 5
The Christmas choir sings "To God Gifts We Bring". We enter covered with snow. We get warm by the potbelly stove, so cold, it?s Christmas in little town Villa.

Bridge:
The altar is lined with candles aglow, through the window we see it continues to snow. Nestled at home late Christmas night everyone says a prayer.

Chorus:
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, it's Christmas,
It's Christmas, it's Christmas, it's Christmas,
It's Christmas in Little Town Villa.

Narrative:
The storm sends snow swirling to the ground in a huge blanket of snowdrifts with mounds. Now, everyone's asleep. It's midnight below the tallest pine trees and Christmas in Little Town Villa.
