Barbara mandrell christmas at our house lyrics

A Christmas tree with lights turned low
Kids out of school, praying for snow
It's the season for counting blessings, as the old year ends
The crowded streets, the friendly smiles
At Christmas, everyone's a child
It's that precious time for family and friends

From our house to yours, we send our love
Straight from the heart, 'cause you mean so much
From our house to yours, may everyone be blessed
May this Christmas be the best, from our house to yours

Old memories and mistletoe
Cards signed with love, hang in a row
That feeling of Christmas fills the air
The manger scene, the star above
Reminds us all, God sends His love
May His spirit follow you throughout the year

From our house to yours, we send our love
Straight from the heart, 'cause you mean so much
From our house to yours, may everyone be blessed
And may this Christmas be the best from our house to yours
And may this Christmas be the best from our house to yours
Merry Christmas

Christmas at Our House is the 15th solo studio album by the American country artist Barbara Mandrell. The album was released in October 1984 on MCA Records and was produced by Tom Collins. It was Mandrell's first album of Christmas music.

Background and content[edit]

Christmas at Our House, as described by Bradley Torreano of Allmusic, "shows the country star adding her name to the countless musicians who have released personalized Christmas albums." The album includes ten tracks, including some new material. It includes two tributes of the Christmas season, the title track and "From Our House to Yours", which Torreano described as "down home". It also includes cover versions of Christmas standards such as "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and "Winter Wonderland"; it also introduced what would become a holiday standard, "It Must Have Been the Mistletoe (Our First Christmas)". Torreano gave the album three out of five stars staying, "Her brand of country-pop may not appeal to all fans of the genre, but many country listeners will probably find this a nice Christmas album to play for the holidays."[2]

Release[edit]

Christmas at Our House was Mandrell's third album released in 1984, officially issued in October. The album peaked at #31 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in 1984. No singles were released from the album and it was her first album not to reach the Billboard 200 albums chart since He Set My Life to Music in 1982.[3] Christmas at Our House was originally released as a vinyl LP record on MCA Records in 1984, with five songs on each side.[4] It was reissued as a compact disc by MCA many years later.[2]
