lyrics

Get out the flour
Set the oven to bake
Whip up some pecan cookies
Like mom used to make
Put on “A Winter Romance”
Leave powdered sugar fingerprints
On the record stand

Stir up the fire
Pour a cup of mulled wine
Oranges and cinnamon
And cloves intertwine
Go on and let that simmer
Watch the lights on the tree
And the tinsel glimmer

Mix the magic of the moment
With a dash of memories
That’s the recipe for a
Merry Christmas Eve

Call up your brother
Down in Memphis
Make sure he passes on
All your love to the kids
Fill up a cookie tin
Deliver some cheer
To your neighbors and friends

Sprinkle in a pinch of kindness
Give more than you receive
That’s the recipe for a
Merry Christmas Eve

The secret ingredient is
A heaping scoop of gratitude
No such thing as too much
There’s no substitute

Finally add a tad of wonder
And remember to believe
That’s the recipe for a
Merry Christmas Eve
That’s the recipe for a
Merry Christmas Eve
