Backstory:

I grew up on a farm in Kentucky, part of a very large nuclear and extended family. Christmas is and was a very important holiday for us.                                            

Lyrics:

                                                  
INTRO (slower)
I just can’t believe the year is almost through
Time for another Country Christmas with you

VERSE ONE 
Let’s hang a wreath on the barn door
String holly across the gate
Put lanterns along the gravel road
To help and light the way
For our folks who will join us
This year on Christmas Eve
Wonder who’ll be the first to arrive
And the very last to leave?
 
CHORUS
It’s another country Christmas
Who could ask for more?
Never wanna miss this
Don’t even mind the chores
Well the mistletoe hangs from the hickory beam
Above these old pine floors
So kiss me and then tell me
Each year you love me more

VERSE TWO
You cut that cedar by the back field
I’ll find the ornaments and lights 
We’ll wrap the gifts in brown craft paper
Tied up with baling twine
Where’s the scissors and the tape?
Have we lost them both again?
What’ll we do with the fruitcake
Aunt Sandy always sends?

CHORUS

VERSE THREE 
Let’s build a fire in the fireplace
On Christmas Eve we’ll gather round
There’ll be singing, glasses clinking
Holiday, festive sounds
We’ll be elbow to elbow
Once we sit down to have
A homemade Christmas supper
And cranberries from a can

CHORUS

OUTRO
I don’t wanna miss this 
I don’t wanna miss this 
I’d never wanna miss another country Christmas
