[bodytext] => Christmas Night Outside the wind's blowing, There’s snow on the ground. Decorated houses lit up, And cheer all around. Carolers singing, In sweet harmony. Songs to praise, Our Saviour that be. Trees are glowing, With tinkling lights so bright. Oh how their beauty, Lights up the night. Children are making, Men made of snow. Laughter surrounds me, Wherever I go. Families are ice skating, In Rockefeller square. There is no denying, This time of the year. Then out in the distance, A flash of light. As a foreign object, Comes into sight. From one house to another, It lands on their roof. Leaving proof of its existence, With tracks of hoofs. With a big jolly driver, Carrying a big reddish bag. To the brick chimney, I watched as he dragged. And before I could blink, That big man was gone. It happened so quick, It made me alarmed. Then in an instant, He suddenly appeared. Tarnished in soot, From ear to ear. With the pull of the reins, His sleigh took off. To the next house, I heard his cough. One by one, Each house was filled. With gifts and toys, Before he Yield. And I heard him disclaim, Before he drove out of sight. Merry Christmas to all, And to all a good night.
