Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
And a feeling that will last all through the year
On the corner, carolers are singing
There’s a touch of magic in the air
From grownup to minor no one could be finer
Times are hard but no one seems to care
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
But from rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
They will find a way into your heart
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
And a feeling that will last all through the year
Just outside the window, snow is falling
But here beside the fire we share the glow
Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
Sentiments that everyone should know
Memories of the year that lays behind us
Wishes for the year that’s yet to come
And it stands to reason that good friends in season
Make you feel that life has just begun
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say “I love you”
And a feeling that will last all through the year
So when spirits grow lighter
And hopes are shining brighter
Then you know that Christmas time is here
Listen to the song

About the carol Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You
“Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You” is a holiday rock song written and performed by American musician Billy Squier. It was released in 1981 as the B-side of his single “My Kinda Lover” and later became associated with the Christmas season through radio play and holiday compilations. The song stands out because it combines the sound of early-1980s rock with a straightforward message about expressing affection during the holidays.
The central idea is that Christmas provides an opportunity to tell the people around us how much they mean to us. Rather than concentrating on presents or traditional Christmas imagery, the song places personal relationships at the center. Its upbeat rock arrangement gives the message an energetic quality, while the repeated emphasis on saying “I love you” makes the emotional theme easy to understand.
The song became particularly connected with the emerging MTV era. A promotional video featured Squier alongside MTV personalities and other participants singing and celebrating, giving the recording a strong visual connection to the Christmas season. Over time, it appeared on several Christmas and rock compilations and was also recorded by other artists
