Christmas

The Christmas season is now here

the lights, the noise, the cheer

Some folk are drinking wine tonight

while others sip their beer.

Somewhere on the corner

some Santa rings his bell.

He asks for coins for all the poor

to make their Christmas well.

Oh, how I love the ice and snow

this winter season brings,

The lights, the tinsel on the tree,

and especially Angel's wings.

The little children smile with joy

and hide and peek to see,

What wonder will be waiting there

beneath their Christmas tree.

Darkness falls, it's Christmas Eve

and somewhere on this night,

A church bell rings out crisp and clear

to make the darkness light.

We celebrate the birth of him

who was born so long ago

By joining all together now

no matter friend or foe.
