It's Christmas Time Lyrics

Oh, I wish it was '99
When I was a kid at Christmas time
Couldn't go to bed that night
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway
Under the lit up Christmas tree
With my crazy ass family
Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh" (I got it)
Wish I was a kid at Christmas again (alright)

Now, fill up the gas in the SUV
Spent way too much time tryna pick out our tree
The ceiling ain't as tall as we thought, I see
Gotta cut a couple inches off the top to proceed
And now we stringing the lights up
Five hours later, we stringing the lights up
Listenin' to Bing Crosby by the fire
Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Mariah
Turn off that Michael Buble
Turn on that one movie about the kid who licked the telephone pole on the Blu-ray
Red Ryder BB-Gun, stayin' up all night
Jimmy Stewart, "It's A Wonderful Life", now am I right?
The collar's puffy, the beard is long, the belly's tubby
But the reindeer are strong
It's Santa Claus
"It's Christmas time"

Oh, I wish it was '99
When I was a kid at Christmas time
Couldn't go to bed that night
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway
Under the lit up Christmas tree
With my crazy ass family
Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh"
Wish I was a kid at Christmas again

Now, I wrap presents like a kid wearing mittens
Blindfolded, with a pair of left-handed scissors
Janky, but the gift inside? Ridiculous
Better than whatever it is you had on your wish-list
Dig in then whip up the Bisquick
Go outside, and throw 'round the pigskin
I'm a dad now, but still feel like a big kid
Best time of year, can I get a, "Amen"? (Amen)
The Almond Roca, the hottest cocoa
The track around the tree with the locomotives
I wanted a Jordan poster to measure my growth spurt
Starter logo, Georgetown Hoyas
I'm going off of the head, y'all
Homemade cookies that I dip in the eggnog
I wanna take a second, and shoutout my dead dog
Toby, he's dead

Oh, I wish it was '99
When I was a kid at Christmas time
Couldn't go to bed that night
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway
Under the lit up Christmas tree
With my crazy ass family
Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh"
Wish I was a kid at Christmas again

Oh, I wish it was '99
When I was a kid at Christmas time
Couldn't go to bed that night
Santa Claus sliding, snow in the driveway
Under the lit up Christmas tree
With my crazy ass family
Singing, "Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh"
Wish I was a kid at Christmas
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Wish I was a kid at Christmas again
"It's Christmas time"

What is the Meaning of It's Christmas Time?

This nostalgic track takes us on a journey back to the simpler times of childhood Christmases. Macklemore and Dan Caplen reminisce about the excitement, anticipation and family traditions that made the festive season so special. The song is filled with vivid imagery - from stringing up Christmas lights to watching classic holiday movies. It's not just about the material aspects of the holiday, but also about spending time with loved ones and creating memories. However, there's a sense of melancholy as they acknowledge that those days are in the past, replaced by adult responsibilities and loss. Despite this, they still manage to capture some of that childlike joy in the present day festivities, reminding us all to embrace our inner "big kid" during the holidays.
