MERRY CHRISTMAS

Many children, as smiling angels, are dressed in gold,
Eager eyes a-shine and wearing tinsel in their hair,
Rooms of beaming parents watch the nativity unfold.
Reindeer with red nose, Rudolph, of course is there
Yearly shown on Christmas cards, pulling Santa’s sleigh.

Carolers sing in snowy streets, lanterns light the way,
Hark the herald angels echoes, joyful sound in icy air,
Rigorously stamping feet, blowing hands blue with cold.
Indoors, listeners sit by fires, and with loved ones share
Sentimental memories, keep magic alive, tales are told
To the excited children, who are brimful of anticipation.
Mothers in the kitchen turn the cake, ice the decoration
And all over the world, in many ways, there is celebration
So many welcome Jesus’ birth and sing praises in exultation.
