Christmas
comes once a year
all Christians everywhere
celebrate Nativity at

Christmas

such a Christian
festival with good cheer
brings the dawn of a New Year at

Christmas

and good deeds flow
from humanity’s soul
we worship baby Jesus at

Christmas

gorgeous colors
and lots of jingle bells
singing carols old and new at

Christmas

wishing this cheer

sticks like glue to all hearts
and stays in place all the year for

Christmas

to nurture folks
that are sick and lonely
keep the love of Jesus beyond

Christmas

and Christmas Eve
when busy crowds subside
the malls become deserted at

Christmas

Turkeys' necks cut

so are chickens and ducks

wishing the fowlplay would stop at

Christmas

those birds must cluck
under the mistletoe
with vocal chords to say Merry

Christmas

is in the air
with lots of laughter too
presents all wrapped with pretty bows at

Christmas

now sit beneath
the lighted Christmas tree
with tiny ornaments that dance at

Christmas

jolly Santa

sitting in crowded malls
with kids laughing Oh! Ho! Merry

Christmas

trees shine brightly
to help us find our way
and in the air the church bells ring

Christmas

season is here
along with midnight mass
we hear voices in choirs at

Christmas

sweet soprano
blends the bass and tenor
to families and neighbors at

Christmas

rich and poor mix
in unison they sing
streaming carols and music at
Christmas
