"Right now grandma's yard looks like a parking lot
Daddy's making one last trip down to Bass Pro Shop
Everybody's favorite covered up in Reynolds Wrap
And all them grandkids lined up to sit on grandpa's lap
Everybody's in their Sunday best
And all them in-laws are showin' up late
For a five star meal on a paper plate
The sound of barefoot feet runnin' through the house
The football game just about to start
'Bout the time momma has a come-apart
'Cause of sisters new tattoo she just found out about
There's a string of lights all tangled 'round a tree
That's Christmas to me
If we make it through December on the radio
Dancing on a back porch under tall pine mistletoe
Watching all the little ones tearing open gifts
But grandpas tryna to hide that Copenhagen in his lip
Meemaw's in that easy chair just smiling ear to ear...."
You'll be doing your own grinning from ear to ear when you listen to this marvelous song.
