Christmas Cheer!

It was the eve of Twenty Four

And Christmas was here again!

They placed the shining star at the top

Of a tree made of green and gold.

It looked beautiful, pristine

As it did every year.

The chilly air was chirping

With Christmas Cheer.

First snowfall of the season

Brought the spirit to life!

The lights, the glistening snowflakes,

Made the night look brighter than day!

A visitor on this cold night?

A figure clad round and red,

Beard shining like snow in the sky.

Leaving behind only cookie crumbs

And a sack, lighter on the shoulder.

Was it Santa who had come

Or his helpful little elves?

Come the cold Christmas morning,

There were presents by the hearth,

Wrapped in paper and mystery

Waited to be ripped open

By excited little fingers,

Of those who had been nice

And even the few who had been naughty.

As the red stockings emptied

Grins grew wider.

The whole family gathered

And hurried together to Church

To pray, and to sing

It was after all, a Holy Day

That marked the birth of Christ.

And so they went, all at once -

Joy to the world

Joy to the world

The Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And Heaven and nature sing

And Heaven and nature sing

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
