Ingredients for Christmas Spirit
One knitted jumper
A punnet of wonder
Finely chopped holly
A teaspoon of jolly
Thickly sliced crackle
Peeled plum sparkle
Freshly grown tinsel
One golden whistle
Pine needle trimmings
Four singing robins
Grated generosity
Of a high quality
A red satin bow
A sprinkle of snow
A punnet of wonder
Finely chopped holly
A teaspoon of jolly
Thickly sliced crackle
Peeled plum sparkle
Freshly grown tinsel
One golden whistle
Pine needle trimmings
Four singing robins
Grated generosity
Of a high quality
A red satin bow
A sprinkle of snow
