"Here comes Christmas, it's that time of year for Santa to appear.
Snow is falling on the ground, everywhere you look snowflakes
can be found.
Children wearing mittens in the snow, making snow balls they intend to throw.
Jingle bells a ringing, jing-a-ling, the sounds of Christmas echos ring.
Parents and children skate on the lake, the children home for holiday break.
Children dream of Santa Clause, as parents shop without a pause.
The days are bright, the nights so clear, the love and spirit of Christmas permeates throughout the wintery air.
Christmas carols sung at night, under a dancing moon that glows so bright.
Chestnuts roasting, grownups toasting this special time of year, after a nip or two, all our woe's and troubles seem to disappear.
Here comes Santa it's Christmas Eve, he's finally here it's hard
to believe.
Santa and his reindeer are now flying high, their lonely silhouettes dot the blackboard sky.
Empty stockings line the living room wall hung for boys and girls,
who have images of Santa's gifts racing through their minds, all in hope that they will find their stockings filled to the very top with toys and presents of every kind."
