You've Got That Christmas Feelin'

(To the tune of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" by the Righteous Brothers. This remix fits the season because the first five months of the year show little to no expressions of Christmas in Hobby Lobby, which is one of my favorite stores. Now, in June the Christmas decorations begin to find their way back on the store's shelves, and I can enjoy the six months of Christmas. There is a mild warning herein for those, who only like their expressions of Christmas to be seasonal. This heart is all Christmas all the time. That is what you'll find in this song. I hope you enjoy it!)

You never close your doors anymore without Christmas trees
Your aisles aren't tinsel-less like the first days of the year I see.
You're trying hard not to show it
But Hobby Lobby I know it

You've got that Christmas feelin'
I know, that Christmas feelin'
You've got that Christmas feelin'
And it's a long, long, time, 'fore the day will come.

Now there's a welcome look in your aisles when I walk through you
And now you're starting to Kringle-ize little crafts I do
It makes me just feel like flyin'
'Cause Hobby Lobby wonderful buyin'.

You've got that Christmas feelin'
I know, that Christmas feelin'
You've got that Christmas feelin'
And it's a long, long, time, 'fore the day will come.

Hobby Lobby, I'd get down on my knees to say,
"Thank you for ev'ry Christmas craft you again sell, Yay!"
We waited long, a long, a long time without Christmas things!
So please, please, please, please keep them as I sing!

Hobby Lobby, Hobby Lobby
I beg for trees, trees, trees, trees
I need the snow, need light show
The love will grow of this I know.

So glad it's come back, so glad it's come back
Keep it right here, every stack
It's back! That Christmas feelin'
I know, that Christmas feelin'
It's back! That Christmas feelin'
Though it's long, long 'til...

And I will go on, I know...
It's back! That Christmas feelin'
I know, that Christmas feelin'
It's back! That Christmas feelin'
Though it's a long, long time 'fore the day will come again.
