Sesame Street Keep Christmas With You
"Keep Christmas With You (All Through the Year)" is a Sesame Street Christmas song expressing the importance of keeping the Christmas feeling, a kind of warmth and goodwill, with oneself every day. It was originally featured on the album Merry Christmas from Sesame Street. The song appears twice in the 1978 special Christmas Eve on Sesame Street; the first time was a sing-along with sign language by Bob, Linda, and the kids, and a reprise at the end with lyrics on-screen sung by a chorus of kids and adults. It was later used for the finale in the 1996 special Elmo Saves Christmas, although the opening verse is omitted. It was also sung in the SeaWorld stage show "A Sesame Street Christmas".

Lyrics[]
- When Christmastime is over and presents put away,
- Don't be sad.
- There'll be so much to treasure about this Christmas Day
- And the fun we've had.
- So many happy feelings to celebrate with you,
- And, oh, the good times hurry by so fast.
- But even when it's over, there's something you can do,
- To make Christmas last.
- Keep Christmas with you all through the year.
- When Christmas is over, you can keep it near.
- Think of this Christmas Day,
- When Christmas is far away.
- Keep Christmas with you all through the year.
- When Christmas is over, save some Christmas cheer.
- These precious moments hold them very dear,
- And keep Christmas with you, all through the year.
- Christmas means the spirit of giving
- Peace and joy to you.
- The goodness of loving, the gladness of living.
- These are Christmas, too.
- So keep Christmas with you all through the year.
- When Christmas is over, save some Christmas cheer.
- These precious moments hold them very dear,
- And keep Christmas with you, all through the year.
- Yes, keep Christmas with you all through the year.
