Family Christmas

Tinkling bells cast a golden glow, 
Outside swirls sparking flakes of snow,
Grandma's kneading the pastry dough.
So apropos, so apropos


There's the pop, pop, popping popcorn, 
Daddy begs to play his French horn.
Watch out for the evergreen thorn!
Christmas reborn, Christmas reborn


We love the Christmas holidays:
Red flames in the fireplace ablaze
Huge pine cone on the mantel lays
These are the days! These are the days!


Dining room table dressed in white
Covered with food to eat this night.
Flickering candles give off light.
Family's delight, family's delight
