Lyrics
t's a 4 real Christmas
If you didn't know
More than a kiss yeah
Under the mistletoe
So go ahead and show love
That's what it's all about yeah
And it's a 4 real Christmas
Ain't no doubt
Verse 1
There's a lot going on this Christmas day
Mothers just giving gifts away
On every corner Christmas lights
Helping to make the season bright
But it's so much more than this you know
And you can't tell me that it ain't so
Sent from high to us below
Talking 'bout Christmas' deal
Christmas 4 real
Verse 2
Ornaments on the Christmas tree
One for you and one for me
House full of happiness and full of joy
Momma's little girl and Daddy's little boy
They're sharing love with one another
Just like sisters and brothers
Christ wouldn't have it any other way
Than to share love on Christmas day yeah
Misc 1
(BRIDGE)
Christmas here yeah
Christmas gone
Still my heart felt so alone
But to me You did reveal
A Christ-like love that is so 4 real
Christmas 4 real
It's a 4 real Christmas

Meaning & Inspiration
“Real Christmas” distinguishes the celebration of Christ from decorations, gifts, and affection beneath the mistletoe. Its opening lines acknowledge familiar customs, then insist that Christmas carries a greater meaning: Christ was sent from above. The song treats shared love not as a seasonal accessory but as a fitting response to the gift represented by Jesus. Family scenes and bright lights therefore remain welcome, yet they are placed beneath the central confession of divine love.
The bridge adds a personal contrast between outward festivity and inward loneliness. Against that emptiness, Christlike love becomes something revealed and experienced rather than merely discussed. The lyric’s call for sisters, brothers, parents, and children to care for one another closely reflects the New Testament link between God’s love and love among believers. Its repeated phrase “Christmas 4 real” gives the song a direct refrain: a genuine observance joins remembrance of Christ with practical love toward others.
