She is Christmas. One personalised christmas song for mum.

Verse 1

Since July there's been a cupboard full of secrets,Wrapping paper crinkling when you think we can't hear,Wendy, you've been planning this since summer,Because for you it's always nearly Christmas time of year.

Verse 2

Three kinds of stuffing lined along the counter,Since we never could agree on only one,You just made them all and called it settled,That's the kind of peace that Wendy's kitchen's always won.

Chorus

You are Christmas, Mum, you always have been,Not the tinsel or the lights upon the tree,It's the salt dough hanging crooked from the 90s,Pride of place, right where the whole world sees.

Verse 3

Little lopsided stars we made as children,Cracked and painted, but you'd never let them go,Every year you find the perfect branches,Hang our clumsy hands where all the shiny ornaments won't go.

Chorus

You are Christmas, Mum, you always have been,Not the tinsel or the lights upon the tree,It's the salt dough hanging crooked from the 90s,Pride of place, right where the whole world sees.

Bridge

This year we're all home, under one roof again,Round the table, all the chairs are filled,And I know that somewhere you're just quietly smiling,Watching all the noise you always willed.

Verse 4

So here's a song to go beneath the branches,Next to gifts you started buying in July,Wendy, this is us all saying thank you,For every single Christmas you would never let slide by.

Final Chorus

You are Christmas, Mum, you always have been,Not the tinsel or the lights upon the tree,It's the salt dough hanging crooked from the 90s,Pride of place, right where the whole world sees.

Outro

So hang the crooked stars up one more time,Make all three stuffings, we'll clear every plate,Wendy, you're the heart of every Christmas,The reason coming home has never had to wait.
