As twinkling baubles light up Christmas trees
and festive gifts for loved ones lay beneath,
a kiss ‘neath mistletoe is sure to please
and on the door a pretty holly wreath.
Yew logs are burning on an open fire
as children gather round their faces glow,
and outside carols sung sweet by a choir
so lovely in the hush of falling snow.
Placed on the mantleshelf a holy scene
and candles in the window welcome all.
A Christmas cake is iced red, white and green
as greeting card displays hang on the wall.
This ev’ning is the time of Holy Night,
and in the sky a star is shining bright.
