lyrics

Mama Made Christmas
Words and music by Maddy Rodriguez

Mama made Christmas
Somewhere between
The start and the end of
1993
The snowflakes were falling
December was calling me in

To her world of hot cider
And cinnamon sticks
And working all day
On a Christmas list
The cook timer was ringing,
Bing Crosby was singing that song
And we’d go Pah rum pum pum pum

I didn’t see that the best of times
Were the times that my Mama gave me
I used to think that Christmas would die
If St. Nick didn’t come down the chimney
But I didn’t know I was wrong
Cause’ Mama made Christmas
All along

Mama made Christmas
By showing me how
To decorate all of the rooms
In our house
Then came the tree
And my Mama and me went to town
And no one could bring us down

I didn’t see that the best of times
Were the times that my Mama gave me
And I used to think that Christmas would die
If St. Nick didn’t come down the chimney
But I didn’t know I was wrong
Cause’ Mama made Christmas
All along


Time made me taller
And I’m all grown up
And I’m pretty sure
I didn’t tell her enough
That I love those moments
And they mean the most to me now
Seems I got more than I’m allowed

Now I can see that the best of times
Were the times that my Mama gave me
And Christmas is made of a lot of things
But mostly home and your family
And if Mama is there, I am home
So Mama made Christmas
All along

Mama made Christmas
And she’s the reason I made this Christmas…song.
