Christmas Traditions
Jack Frost draws on windows,
The north wind tousles hair,
Elves working busily,
Christmas to prepare.
Christmas trees for trimming,
Tinsel sparkles there,
Children hanging baubles,
Excitement everywhere.
Carollers gather in the snow,
Singing to show they care,
Hot chocolate warms them up,
Church bells in the Square.
Santa on his gold-trimmed sleigh,
Flying through the air,
Gingerbread and a ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’
Mince pies and Christmas fare.
The north wind tousles hair,
Elves working busily,
Christmas to prepare.
Christmas trees for trimming,
Tinsel sparkles there,
Children hanging baubles,
Excitement everywhere.
Carollers gather in the snow,
Singing to show they care,
Hot chocolate warms them up,
Church bells in the Square.
Santa on his gold-trimmed sleigh,
Flying through the air,
Gingerbread and a ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’
Mince pies and Christmas fare.
