Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the town
People were buzzing with excitement, preparing for the big day in town
The stockings were hung by the fireplace, with care
And presents were wrapped and placed in the middle, with a flourish and a flare
The Christmas tree, covered in lights and sparkles, with ornaments and garlands bright
And a star shining at the top, brightening the holiday night
The air was filled with the smell of cookies, warm and fresh from the oven
And the sounds of laughter and joy, filling the hearts of those given
The magic of Christmas, it’s a feeling so deep
And it’s something that can’t be put into words, it’s a feeling that you must keep
So on that night, we’ll all gather together
And sing songs of joy and peace, with a smile, our hearts will weather
And as we exchange gifts and share our love, with family and friends near and far
We’ll be filled with joy and happiness, as we enjoy the wonders of Christmas, near and far.
I’m very impressed by the rhymes in this one, even if Lyle did rhyme ‘town’ with ‘town’ to start — we all have to start somewhere!
