“It’s the most wonderful time of the year

with NGC jingle belling;

and everyone telling you, “Victorian Luncheon’s here!”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

It’s the hap-happiest season of all

with those holiday greetings, casseroles from Thanksgivings,

and friends at Magnolia Hall.

It’s the hap-happiest season of all!

There’ll be luncheons for hosting,

cranberry cider for toasting,

and wishing and hoping for snow.

There’ll be catch-ups and stories

and tales of the glories of

Victorian Luncheons long ago.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

There’ll be vintage décor-ing,

and corn soup will be flowing

when the guests are here!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

There’ll be parties for hosting,

chestnuts for roasting,

and a spread that will make a big show.

There may be chicken cacciatores

and cooking stories of

casseroles to take “to-go.”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

A good time we’ll be throwing

and twinkles a-glowing

while you all are near.

It’s the most wonderful time –

it’s the most wonderful time –

it’s the most wonderful time of the year!”
