CHRISTMAS AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE [Intro – Spoken] Take me back... Back when Christmas smelled like pound cake, When Grandma had the stove going, And everybody knew where to come. Those were the days. [Verse 1] I remember Christmas morning, Cold air coming through the door, Grandma standing in the kitchen, Little footsteps on the floor. Somebody stirring up the gravy, Somebody cutting up the ham, Little children running circles, Grandma hollering, "Yes, I am!" [Verse 2] The television playing softly, Christmas music down the hall, Family pictures on the dresser, Old coats hanging on the wall. Nobody needed fancy presents, Nobody needed diamond rings, We were happy sitting together, Over all the little things. [Chorus] Christmas at Grandma's house, Oh, take me back again! Where the laughter filled the kitchen, And the love would never end. Christmas at Grandma's house, Where the sweetest memories stay, I can almost hear her calling, "Baby, come and fix your plate!" [Verse 3] Auntie telling funny stories, Uncle sleeping in the chair, Little cousins playing hide-and-seek, Running everywhere. Somebody started singing gospel, Grandma raised her hands to pray, Thanking God for all her children, On that blessed Christmas Day. [Bridge – Soft Choir] Some of those chairs are empty, Some of those voices gone, But every Christmas morning, Their love keeps living on. I can smell that Christmas dinner, I can hear that old screen door, And if heaven has a kitchen, Grandma's cooking something more. [Final Chorus] Christmas at Grandma's house, I'll carry it in my heart, Though the years keep rolling forward, That love will never part. Christmas at Grandma's house, Where the sweetest memories stay, Thank You, Yah, for all the people Who made me who I am today. [Outro – Whispered] Grandma... I remember. Merry Christmas in heaven.
