I'm a holly jolly Christmas gift,
I'm as happy as can be,
I’m a big surprise so spirits lift,
Are you the ones who'll love me?

It's warm and cozy in this stocking,
And I know I'll love this place,
I’ve heard all kinds of Christmas singing,
And there’s lots of room to race.

Hey there I'm a gift for you Christmas,
I hope you’re happy to see,
A stocking stuffer that’s me I’d guess,
I’ll bless you and you’ll bless me.

I’d like to be your new pet right now,
For you I’ll even retrieve,
Because you will love me anyhow,
I’m lovable just believe.

I love to play with all furry toys,
Feathers and sometimes a mouse,
You have any kids perhaps some boys,
And little girls in your house?

I may be a cat but I’m brilliant,
Yep I get sleepy and nap,
But I’m feisty and quite resilient,
I’m a lively little chap.

I’m a little crunched really squeezed here,
I’d love to be out romp ‘round,
And would you please fix my eye and ear,
Hey what is that tinkling sound?

I’d love to bat those shiny balls far,
Look high shining for Jesus,
Why I might even get that bright star,
All lit ‘bout the Lord for us.

And it’s His Birthday each Christmas morn,
Years ago but He’s still here,
I love that little Babe that was born,
He’s all ours and He’s e'er near.

It’s great we’re celebrating Jesus,
A holly jolly Christmas,
I know you and me are thankful Yes,
We're blessed He was born for us.
