What does it mean to keep it simple at Christmas? I think you'll enjoy this guilt-free perspective from a fellow believer and Christmas lover.

Here's the lyrics to Keep It Simple…

Here we go again it's the Christmas season

It's a crazy time of year but we all know the reason

Trying to make it bigger and better than before

No holding back, there's going to be more

Watching TV or turnin' on the radio

There's a big sale hurry up let's go

Gotta get the newest thing this year

Hurry hurry hurry, Christmas is near

Christmas time oh what a season

Jesus Christ, yeah, He's the reason

All the other things that happen are fine

Go ahead and sing your Christmas songs

No one's sayin' that's wrong

But what we're sayin'

Is keep it simple

Everywhere you turn seems you're always on the run

Not enough time to get it all done

Parties and the concerts and the food and family

Send out all the cards and decorate the tree

Christmas at the mall and the kids on Santa's knee

Running here and there you're as busy as could be

Fighting with the crowds standing in the line

Got so much to do and you're running out of time

Christmas time oh what a season

Jesus Christ, yeah, He's the reason

All the other things that happen are fine

Go ahead and sing your Christmas songs

No one's sayin' that's wrong

But what we're sayin'

Is keep it simple

Still we gotta know the reason why we celebrate the day

Without the birth of Jesus we'd get lost along the way

Christmas would be better if we'd just keep it simple

Christmas time oh what a season

Jesus Christ, yeah, He's the reason

All the other things that happen are fine

Go ahead and sing your Christmas songs

No one's sayin' that's wrong

But what we're sayin'

Is keep it simple
