Lyrics
They're hanging all the lights on the main street square
People are smiling, everywhere
Trees up in the windows, frost on the glass
Christmas is here now, here at last
But let's not forget
In the middle of the busy-ness
Remember this
Jesus is the reason for
This time of the year
We're gonna celebrate
It's Christmas
Oh Let me hear
That joyful noise in the air
Wanna hear it everywhere
Heaven and earth proclaim
Come on let's celebrate
It's Christmas
Pull out your favorite records, some Nat King Cole
And those old Christmas movies, they never get old
Gather up the family, carol the town
People need love, so spread it around
And let's not forget
It's what you give, not what you get
So remember this
Jesus is the reason for
This time of the year
We're gonna celebrate
It's Christmas
Oh Let me hear
That joyful noise in the air
Wanna hear it everywhere
Heaven and earth proclaim
Come on let's celebrate
It's Christmas

Meaning & Inspiration
It’s Christmas centers its celebration on Jesus while keeping the familiar warmth of lights, family gatherings, carols, and shared traditions. The song treats those customs as signs of joy rather than the final meaning of the holiday. Its recurring declaration that Jesus is the reason for the celebration gives the festive scenes a clear Christian focus, while the call for a joyful noise expands the celebration beyond a private family moment.
The second verse adds a practical emphasis on generosity and love. Giving matters more than receiving, and spreading love becomes part of remembering Christ. The language about heaven and earth proclaiming fits the biblical picture of creation joining in praise, while the Christmas theme aligns most directly with the angelic announcement of Christ’s birth in Luke 2. The result is a bright Christmas song that joins everyday Christmas customs with worship, gratitude, and care for others.
