LYRICS
Embers soften, the fire bends
Shadows stretch as the evening blends
Paper scattered, ribbons fall
I sink in, nothing to prove oh
Screens dim low, the room feels wide
Laughter drifts, no need to hide
Tiny wins tucked in the day
Moments linger in their own way
Time loosens, the hours slow
I settle in, letting it all go
No rush, no plans, the world can wait
This is ours, we earned this break
Every heartbeat, soft and free
Christmas night just you and me
Have yourself a Christmas nap
Close your eyes, let the world unwrap
The room is full, yet it feels our own
Stretching out in the comfort zone
No lists, no plans, nothing to chase
Just a little pause in a hectic space
Quiet pride, the months gone by
Hope and warmth swirl in my mind
Past rolls out, the next year near
I let it settle, no need to fear
Have yourself a Christmas nap
Close your eyes, let the world unwrap
The room is full, yet it feels our own
Stretching out in the comfort zone
No lists, no plans, nothing to chase
Just a little pause in a hectic space
Time unwinds, the night expands
Every worry drifts from our hands
We rest, we smile, the year behind
This moment is ours, no rules, no binds
Have yourself a Christmas nap
Close your eyes, let the world unwrap
The room is full, yet it feels our own
Stretching out in the comfort zone
No lists, no plans, nothing to chase
Just a little pause in a hectic space
Lights drift low, the moment stays
We hold this warmth in our own ways
So, have yourself a Christmas nap mmm
After weeks of planning Christmas, shopping, organising, wrapping, and trying to keep everything together, one afternoon I finally crashed on the couch and said to the kids, “Let’s take a nap. A Christmas nap.”
They gave me a very loud, synchronised “NO.”
So Have Yourself a Christmas Nap popped into my mind. It’s really just a wish to sit back and let the day be what it is.
The idea of a “Christmas nap” felt simple and honest. A small reward after a long year. A quiet way of saying, we made it.
This song is for anyone who’s tired after showing up, doing your best, and getting through another year.
Sometimes the most festive thing you can do is just relax and take it easy for once.
