IT'S the month of December

Excitement on the way

Preparations and decorations

Ready for the 25th -- Christmas Day

Have we got a turkey?

Whose bought the tree?

Lots of cards and presents

All for you and me.

Carol singers at the door

Singing for all their worth

About Christmas time and bells that chime

And baby Jesus' birth

Santa will be busy

Making gifts and toys

Chocolate, dolls and teddies

For all the girls and boys.

Shimmering tinsel, sparkling lights

Glowing candles, Christmas night

Excited children, tired eyes

Roasted turkey and Christmas pies

Open curtains in the morning

Look outside, the snow is falling

Christmas presents, Christmas cheer

Hope you have a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year!
