Christmas is jumping
By Better Moody
The words but Clair is gonna do the mom part
It’s all white velvet and plaid weather
I think Santa this year will need to be clever
How’s he gonna fly right
There’s black ice on every roof tonight
Sheeeeeezus…
MOM:
Apple cider — check
Sweater robe — mmm yes
Savannah get your gloves and reindeer food
It’s right there on the stove — middle of the left
It’s everything they like
Now run like you mean it
We gotta make it glow
Let the magic begin — go!
ALL (playful):
O Christmas tree
Oh me, oh my, oh no
MOM:
Look up — does he see us?
He’s headed for the house
Who told them to go there?
Where did you put the food?
SAVANNAH (calling):
Camdin has it on the couch!
⸻
ALL (CHORUS):
Christmas is jumping — keep the Yuletide out
Hit the emergency jingle bell — shout it out
Ho ho ho no — I just bought the couch
And there ain’t enough weather stripping in this whole dang house
Christmas is jumping — go go now
To the back porch — don’t ask how
Emergency jingle bell protocol — wow
This is the Christmas moment — right now
⸻
CLAIR (sassy):
Sleigh bells ring — what’s he thinking?
I hope he’s packing light
Mama can’t go caroling
if she cleans wreckage all night
’Tis the season — to keep it tight
Make it shimmer — make it bright
⸻
SAVANNAH (soft & full of wonder):
It’s a holy-holy night
It’s a soft-still-wonderful night
A snowflake just landed on a reindeer’s nose
I thought they were vicious things
But it felt wet like a puppy’s nose
Maybe snow is how the sky says hi
Maybe wonder makes the winter fly
⸻
CLAIR (spoken – excited):
Mom’s freaking out for nothing
It’s just a puff of snow in your face
When the reindeer sticks the landing
And Santa hugs her while she’s screaming:
“That was TOO CLOSE!”
It was…
But it’s done
And the presents are scattered
like trinket boxes across the lawn.
⸻
CAMDIN (sleepy):
Camdin yawns…
But he’s happy…
Still waiting for Christmas Day to come
Ooooooooh holy night…
⸻
ALL (BIG CHORUS):
It’s a holy-holy night
It’s a soft-still-wonderful night
We rang the bell and it felt just right
Now the stars are glowing tonight
Let the sleigh bells ring
Let the cold air sing
We found the wonder
In everything
⸻
ALL (FINAL CHORUS):
Christmas is jumping — keep the Yuletide out
Hit the emergency jingle bell — shout it out
Ho ho ho yes — magic is allowed
Even the reindeer just took a bow
Christmas is jumping — go go now
To the back porch — don’t ask how
Emergency jingle bell protocol — wow
This is the Christmas moment — right now
⸻
MOM (soft outro):
Everyone inside…
Coyotes still roam in these woods
But I hope they’re cuddled in their den tonight
Maybe Santa brings them bones too
So they can feel good
Just like we do
You remember the emergency jingle bell thing?
We did it that one night before Christmas when Santa…
saved us again.
(fade) - So that was the vision....maybe next Christmas - Ill get it right - convince someone to do a music video with me:(
