Good evening ladies and gentlemen and all non-binary people and anyone else I forgot to mention Woke up to silence, the world wrapped in white Snow on the branches, soft morning light No words, no rush, just breath in the air A feeling like Christmas was already there It wasn’t a headline, it wasn’t a sign Just something that stirred in this heart of mine So here’s to the moment, the magic, the spark To the warmth we carry when days feel apart It’s more than a season, it’s something we feel A gift wrapped in sound, a moment that’s real For anyone listening, near or far You matter, you shine, you carry a star To the ones who rise before the sun Who carry the weight but still find joy To the quiet hands that build the day And never ask for praise or noise To the hearts that hold a family close To the friends who show up when it’s hard To the ones who give without a name You are the light in every yard You are the reason we gather You are the warmth in the cold You are the story we carry The love that never grows old You are the gift we remember Even when the world forgets You are the heart of Christmas In the most special ways To the ones who stay through silent storms Who keep the fire when nights are long To the ones who listen more than speak Who make the weak feel brave and strong To the ones who hold a stranger’s hand Who give their time, who understand You are the thread in every song You’ve been the spirit all along You are the reason we gather You are the warmth in the cold You are the story we carry The love that never grows old You are the gift we remember Even when the world forgets You are the heart of Christmas In the most special ways So if you feel unseen tonight Or lost beneath the weight Know that someone holds you close In ways they never say You matter more than you believe You shine in quiet ways You are the soul of every hug That finds us Christmas Day You are the reason we gather You are the warmth in the cold You are the story we carry The love that never grows old You are the gift we remember Even when the world forgets You are the heart of Christmas And you always will be So here’s to you The ones who try The ones who love The ones who cry You are the reason You are the light Merry Christmas everyone Goodnight
