    Lyrics
    This time, this time
    Making Christmas
    Making Christmas
    Making Christmas, making Christmas
    Is so fine
    It's ours this time
    And won't the cildren be surprised
    It's ours this time
    Making Christmas
    Making Christmas
    Making Christmas
    Time to give them something fun
    They'll talk about for years to come
    Let's have a cheer from everyone
    It's time to party
    Making Christmas, making Christmas
    Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice
    With spiders legs and pretty bows
    It's ours this time
    All together, that and this
    With all our tircks we're
    Making Christmastime
    Here comes jack
    I don't believe what's happening to me
    My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies
    Hee, hee, hee, hee
    Won't they be impressed, I am a genius
    See how I transform the old rat
    Into a most delightful hat
    Hmm, my compliments from me to you
    On this your most intriguing hst
    Consider though this substitute
    A bat in place of this old rat
    Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong
    This thing will never make a present
    It's been dead for much too long
    Try something fresher, something pleasant
    Try again, don't give up
    All together, that and this
    With all our tricks we're making Christmastime
    This time, this time
    Making Christmas, making Christmas
    La, la, la
    It's almost here
    And we can't wait
    So ring the bells and celebrate
    'Cause when the full monn starts to climb
    We'll all sing out
    It's Christmastime
    Hee, hee, hee

    I love how even though the song sounds menacing, the lyrics are all cheerful and positive.
    From the residents of Halloween Town's perspective, this is a cheery Christmas carol.

      Yeah, they’re genuinely trying, making things based on what they would enjoy, the problem is that they didn’t understand that most humans don’t generally like the same kind of things they do.
      Now if it was just spooky themed (but harmless) gift wrapping and toys, along with a butt ton of Halloween candy in their stockings, then I imagine it would actually be fairy well received (if not slightly confusing).
      Still wondering about where the candy aspect is in Halloween town though…

      Funny that you asked, I actually have a cool fan fiction in my head that involves that: So you know how those bugs go in Santa’s beard in Oogie Boogie’s song? I have them take over Santa’s mind, and since apparently the voice for Oogie Boogie also voices Santa Claus, tells the elves and every one else that he will take a little vacation and that he’ll be back in a few days. This is just a thing so that they don’t check on Santa so that Lock Shock and Barrel can get him and make him Oogie Boogie again. They get all the bugs from Halloween Town, and sew a new burlap body for him, and then the elves report Santa missing. Jack hears about this and searches for them with the entire population of Halloween Town. Since they are too busy looking in every holiday, they are missing out in theirs, so the elves try (and fail) to make Halloween. Then Oogie Boogie somehow takes over the Halloween Town while they are doing stuff, they free Santa from Oogie, he becomes a big trash monster, and then they defeat them. This takes some inspiration from Oogie’s Revenge, by the way.
      TLDR: Santa gets mind controlled from Oogie, Jack has to find where Santa is, the elves try to make Halloween and fail, they come back to try to search in Halloween Town, they find out that he took over, they free Santa, Oogie becomes a big monster, they defeat him, the end.

    The really brilliant thing about this song is that it works just as well out of context as in. If you were to see this clip without seeing the rest of 'Nightmare', you'd see a bunch of ghouls getting ready to wreck Christmas, and it'd be all spooky, creepy fun - but in context, it's STILL that; you totally get that this is a looming disaster we're talking about here, but since you know the characters, you can see that they actually are making a good-faith effort; it's just that they're getting everything totally wrong. So context adds a lot to it, but it's not necessary to enjoy it - THAT'S good writing.

    Just learned about the "Dies Ire", (Translation: "The Day of Wrath",) in a Music History class. "Making Christmas" has ties to it. Given the training/background of the composer, I am 100% certain that this is not a mere coincidence. (The song dates back over 1000 years...)

    you know, this only failed because christmas town wasnt warned ahead of time. so much of this could have actually been successful had they 1, not kidnap santa claws and 2, tried to communicate more with christmas town.
    i do hope both towns become just a little friendlier to each other. hell, i can actually see a friendship blossom between jack and santa, provide he gives him a chance. jacks not a bad guy at all. and maybe with some coercing santa might be okay with greenlighting a christmas-themed haunted house.

    Sally never gets credit for the fact she didn’t have a place in Halloweentown in the beginning of the movie so she decided to make one for herself and be apart of the community and then makes a new home for herself ❤️

    I would have loved if, right before Jack takes off, he said "our last concern is, will I or will I not have to worry about being arrested for breaking and entering?" Before being reassured that he won't and saying "hm. I guess even breaking the law is something mortals disregard on Christmas"
