Content - This perennial favourite is full of energy and excitement, expressing children’s impatience for Christmas Eve to arrive and for the Christmas lights to shine. It's so exciting to think about that they can hardly breathe! But why's it taking so long to come?
With simple harmony/counterpoint (optional) this is a great song for junior choirs.

Lyrics sample
Come on Christmas, why don’t you hurry along?
(Come on Christmas! Come on Christmas!)
Come on Christmas, why’s it taking you so long?
(Come on Christmas! Come on Christmas!)
I’m so excited I can hardly breathe,
‘Cos now it’s December, now it’s Christmas Eve...
Oh, come on Christmas, I’ve been waiting so long.
So exciting you can feel it in the air. (clap, clap)
It’s coming closer all the time. (clap, clap)
Look around, you can see it ev’rywhere:
Christmas lights are gonna shine, shine, shine
