Tinsel around the house
And the fireplace is warm
The bells
on the doorway Christmas tree
Ring
As the snow storm goes wild
The children in the house too,
Go wild,
Impatient to open the presents-
So do the grown-ups
As the hot dinner meal
Runs out, God it tasted too good!
The rhythm of the snowstorm,
The voices in the house,
Christmas has finally come
May it never turn midnight!
