Being such a huge fan of R&B music, New Edition has always been one of my favorite groups to listen to. This is probably one of my favorite Christmas songs during the holiday season and I don’t recall a year where I haven’t given this track a spin.

So without further ado, Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year to all. Remember, Give Love on Christmas Day. :)

People making lists, buying special gifts,
Taking time to be kind to one and all
It’s the time of year when good friends are here
And you wish you could give more
Than just presents from a store

Why don’t you give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
Oh even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love

People you don’t know smile and nod hello
Everywhere there’s an air of Christmas joy
It’s that once a year, when the world’s sincere
And you’d like to find a way
To show the things that words can’t say

Why don’t you give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need know there’s someone who cares
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love

Why don’t you give love on Christmas day (Christmas Day)
Oh every little child on Santa’s knees
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs your love

Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) …
