Steven tunes his guitar one half step down, so his capo is on 3rd fret.
He also plays more open voicings of the A and D chords. A is X02200 and D is XX0200.
For the intro, he alternates between X02200 and X02400.
He plays E/G# as 422400, with his 1st finger on the A and D strings, and his 3rd and 4th fingers on E and A
At the end of the chorus, he slides up one fret from the C#m for the D chord at X57700.
During the first half of the chorus, he plays the riff below for the D chord.

[Verse 1]
A D I think I passed you on the busy sidewalk last night A D I think I caught the sadness in your eyes A D While everybody sings their happy Christmas songs tonight A/C# D All you want to do is cry
[Verse 2]
A D Christmas lights and decorations everywhere you turn A D But all you feel inside is dark and gray A D There may be joy for all the world but is there any joy for you A/C# D Hold on, love is looking for a way A/C# D Hold on, I believe it's why love came
[Chorus]
A So I'm sending you this Christmas card A/C# D To let you know somebody loves you A And I'm singing you this little song A/C# D To let you know you're not alone A/F# E/G# And I'm thinking, as we celebrate, how love came down A D So every lost and lonely broken heart would get found Bm C#m And wherever you are, I hope this Christmas card D Finds you and reminds you
You are loved

[Verse 3]
A D For every one who's been left standing on the outside looking in A D Every one with dreams that never will come true A D When the story of your life gets re-written over night A/C# D Well, this is all part of the Christmas story, too A/C# D And I believe God knows and He's right there with you
[Chorus]
A So I'm sending you this Christmas card A/C# D To let you know somebody loves you A And I'm singing you this little song A/C# D To let you know you're not alone A/F# E/G# And I'm thinking, as we celebrate, how love came down A D So every lost and lonely broken heart can be found Bm C#m And wherever you are, I hope this Christmas card D Finds you and reminds you
[Bridge]
Bm A/F# You are not alone E/G# You're never forgotten A D The God who made you came down to our world A/F# E/G# To let us know wherever we are D He is with us
Our God is with us
[Final Chorus]
A A/C# And He really wants to let you know D Just how much He loves you A A/C# And I'm singing you this Christmas song D So you'll know you're not alone A/F# E/G# And I'm thankful, as we celebrate, how love came down A D Now all the lost and lonely broken hearts can be found Bm C#m And wherever you are, I hope this Christmas card D Finds you and reminds you
You are loved
