Well we'd all head to Waco, for the birth of our Lord

My folks and my brother in an 82 Ford

We'd pull in the driveway filled up with cars

Old aunts and old uncles, Lord I see stars

And then we'd run to the kitchen, you know kids and their games

Play fetch with old Buster, call each other names

Aunt Betty'd be singing while supper was cookingss

We'd unwrap the gifts when no one was lookin||

Chorus

Let's all gather round, Grandpa say the blessing

Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing

But we got all our friends and family here

And I'm grateful for Christmas this year

Well this year we're in Houston, lets all get together

Man I almost snow can you believe this weather

Who's gonna be here, Uncle Frank can't make it

Since Grandpa died, I don't know if Nana can take it

Well this present's a sweater and the pie don't taste right

And Dad and the TV are starting to fight

I wish I had a drink or maybe a dozen

Lord what I'd give for one good lookin cousin

Chorus

So lets all gather round, dad you say the blessing

Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing

But we got all our friends and family here

And I'm grateful for Christmas this year

Hey Mom how you doing, yeah I miss him too

Nah the Christmas light don't make your hair look blue

The cousins ain't coming Jon's overseas

And I guess my wife loves her folks more then me

But the ladies from the church said, they might stop by

I brought you this picture, ahh mama don't cry

Let's play cards and watch the news channel

I love you too, and thanks for the flannel

Chorus

So lets all gather round, I gues I'll say the blessing

Aunt Jane, she fell asleep, Mary Kay burned the dressing

But we got all our friends and family here

And I'm grateful for Christmas this year
