This song is perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit. What makes this song unique is that its a cover by the original songwriter. Dee Snider wrote and recorded this song for his wife with no intention to release it to the public. Years later, Celine Dion found the lyrics at the same studio and asked if she could use it on one of her albums. The song became one of her greatest hits and made Snider so much money in royalties that he built his house with it. Which he fondly calls ‘The house that Saint Celine built’. Years after that, he decided to cover his own song along with Lzzy Hale of Halestorm

The Magic of Christmas Day

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
It’s the season to be jolly
And be thankful for all that we have
All the lights and decorations
Put up in anticipation
Of the joyful celebration
That’s on its way
We’re counting the days
‘Til it’s time for Christmas Day

Oh, and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy, the sad
Oh, and God bless us everyone
Here’s to family and friends
It’s good to be here again

On the streets there’s children laughing
People smile as they are passing
Christmas time is here, our waiting is done
Wishing it could last forever
Not just twelve days in December
Through the year let’s try to remember
That special way
That everyone feels
It’s the magic of Christmas Day

Oh, and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy, the sad
Oh, and God bless us everyone
Here’s to family and friends
It’s good to be here again

So fill your heart with love and joy
And through the eyes of girls and boys
Share their wonder, live through their joy
It’s easy to do, just open your heart
The spirit will come to you

Oh, and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy, the sad
Oh, and God bless us everyone
Here’s to family and friends
It’s good to be here again

Oh, and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy, the sad
Oh, and God bless us everyone
Here’s to family and friends
‘Til next time we meet again

God bless us everyone
‘Til next time we meet again
Oh, and God bless us everyone
It’s good to be here
It’s good to be here again
