She said, "Daddy, can you send this to the North Pole for me? It's important that it gets there in time because… I want a dolly, a pair of skates and a trolley... But as she spoke, this awful feelin' came over me. Ya see, I was barely able to put food on our table, And I knew Christmas couldn't be what she wanted it to be… So, I told her... “Honey,… Christmas Isn't Presents, Or tinsel on a tree, Or decorations hangin' in the hall. Christmas Isn't Presents - What we really need to see, Is the love we give to one another… Well, that's the best gift of all.” When I finished speakin’, I didn't really know If she could understand what it broke my heart to say. But she asked me for her letter, and she took it from my hand, And said, "Aw, I didn't need that dolly anyway." Well, things got no better, and when that Christmas mornin' came, I braced myself for the tears I knew I'd see. But when she opened up that paper doll, that was all I could afford - I was the one who cried when my baby smiled, and said to me… She said, "Daddy,… Christmas Isn't Presents, Or tinsel on a tree, Or decorations hangin' in the hall. Christmas Isn't Presents - What we really need to see, Is the love we give to one another… Well, that's the best gift of all. Yeah, the love we give to one another… That's the best gift of all.”
