Lyrics
Christmas magic is here again
Santa will be on his way
Festive songs all season long
Can’t wait for the day
Driving home on Christmas
Tingles in the air
Shimmering sparkles, glistening lights,
on this holy night
Chorus
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
Children building a snowman
Friends all gather around
No one gets to sleep all night
To hear those sleigh bells sound
Decorating the Christmas tree
Warm cheer everywhere
Looking out for the reindeer sleigh
Before it’s Christmas Day
Chorus
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
Mid 8
If you’ve not been the best you all year through
You can make a new resolution it’s up to you
Add the Christmas feels in all you do
No one left alone let’s make it true
Chorus
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
Santa will be on his way
Festive songs all season long
Can’t wait for the day
Driving home on Christmas
Tingles in the air
Shimmering sparkles, glistening lights,
on this holy night
Chorus
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
Children building a snowman
Friends all gather around
No one gets to sleep all night
To hear those sleigh bells sound
Decorating the Christmas tree
Warm cheer everywhere
Looking out for the reindeer sleigh
Before it’s Christmas Day
Chorus
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
Mid 8
If you’ve not been the best you all year through
You can make a new resolution it’s up to you
Add the Christmas feels in all you do
No one left alone let’s make it true
Chorus
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door
All I got on my Christmas list
Is waiting for me at home
Counting down the days no more
On the calendar door

Comments:
I love a Christmas song and you captured lots of festive imagery and feelings in this song.
I’m not sure about the rhyme scheme in the verses as in the first half of the verse you have an ABCB rhyme scheme but the second half of the verse is ABCC, which means the rhyming pattern is off.
It would make more sense if lines 2 and 4 and then 6 and 8 rhymed in pairs, but at the moment it’s 2 and 4, 7 and 8.
