I thought about a couple together at Christmas who hadn't done any of the Christmas stuff, but had a lot of the Christmas spirit.

So the snow didn't come,
So we never got a tree,
So it still don't quite feel like home
When it's just you and me.

Well it's our first Christmas alone
And we don't have much Christmas crap
But no amount of holiday charm
Could compare to what we have...

They've got light-up reindeers pulling plastic sleighs
They've got a thousand kinds of Christmas lights
Well you and me we've got other ways
Should we choose to light up the night.

...

It's our first Christmas alone
And we don't have much Christmas crap
So we never bought anything at the mall
We still got gifts to unwrap

It don't take wrapping paper to unwrap your love,
It don't take ribbons and bows.
It don't take eggnog to loosen me up
And sure as heck don't take mistletoe

How about you and me
Start our own nativity scene
Let's make this family of two
Into a family of three

Let's make it our last Christmas alone
Let's enjoy the peace and quiet
I'm thinking not quite a year from now
We won't have many silent nights
