Christmas Eve is almost here
The bells are ringing loud
Around each Christmas tree
There's the gathering of a crowd.
The children are all excited
They're waiting for Santa Claus
They will all be falling asleep
Listening for reindeer paws.
The children that I mention
Are from one to ninety - eight
We are all guilty of enjoying
Christmas, the pleasure is so great.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas
Let's celebrate with a song
And keep the holiday spirit
In our hearts all the New Year long.
HOWARD GOLLEY JR
Christmas Jam
Don't boil yourself in the Christmas jam
Of unwise spending and social cram.
Preserve your fruit with the spiritual things, And the lasting joy the holiday brings.
