Reason For The Season (Christmas Folk Song)

1st Verse:

When you’re busy Christmas shopping;
when you’re writing all your cards,
don’t forget that there are people
for whom Christmas time is hard.

Don’t forget the poor and hungry
or the homeless and the cold.
All the ones who haven’t anything
or just no one to hold.

Chorus:

There’s a reason for the season;
don’t forget peace and goodwill;
not the gifts you wrap in silver foil
or the stockings that you fill.

Not the turkey and the trimmings
or the lights upon the tree.
There’s a reason for the season;
don’t forget goodwill and peace.

2nd Verse:

When you’re gobbling up turkey
or scoffing down your sweets;
don’t forget that there are people
who don’t have enough to eat.

Don’t forget the poor and hungry
or the homeless and the cold.
All the ones who haven’t anything
or just no one to hold.

Chorus:
There’s a reason for the season;
don’t forget peace and goodwill;
not the gifts you wrap in silver foil
or the stockings that you fill.

Not the turkey and the trimmings
or the lights upon the tree.
There’s a reason for the season;
don’t forget goodwill and peace.
