Lyrics
If the snow don't fall down on Christmas, I swear
I will skate down the hall and sled down the stairs.
If the choir doesn't sing any carols I know.
I'll have a few drinks and make up my own.
I'll have a new-fashioned Christmas on this old holiday.
Make a new-fashioned memory with the folks that remain.
When the old-fashioned things don't line up with the times,
I'll have a new-fashioned Christmas in my old heart tonight.
When the tree lot downtown says they got nothing left,
I will hang up my lights on my bedpost instead.
If I only got bread and the stores are all close, I'll make a brand new tradition of Christmasday toast.
I'll have a new-fashioned Christmas on this old holiday.
Make a new-fashioned memory with the folks that remain.
When the old-fashioned things don't line up with the times,
I'll have a new-fashioned Christmas in my old heart tonight.
When the seasons have changed, and we're no longer kids,
And we lose who we used to spend Christmases with,
It won't do any good to pretend it's the same.
But I've done all I could to have fun in your name.
I'll have a new-fashioned Christmas on this old holiday.
Make a new-fashioned memory with the folks that remain.
When the old-fashioned things don't line up with the times,
I'll have a new-fashioned Christmas in my old heart tonight.
