The theme is everyone’s a kid when the holidays begin.
lyrics
Open a toy, it looks just like the same exact one you got when you were a boy. The flickering lights, you see the way it shines, leaving you with a little sparkle in your eye.
Floating away, you watch a sleigh ride far beyond off in the sky. Just past midnight, you step out in the snow watching that old man in the sky wave goodbye.
Everyone’s a kid when the holidays begin. (2x)
Everyone’s a kid. (2x)
Waking up warm, you turn on the TV. Same exact cartoon that you used to watch. The one with the misfits and the reindeer, bringing you back a couple memories of the years.
Stuck in nostalgia by the Christmas tree. Same exact ornaments you used to see. Cup of hot chocolate with the whipped cream. Close your eyes. It’s like you’re in a dream.
Everyone’s a kid when the holidays begin. (2x)
Everyone’s a kid. (2x)
