Christmas Eve Night
Daddy assembles the bicycle
While their little boy falls fast asleep
Mommy takes a bite out of the cookie
So his belief in Santa Claus he will keep
Presents come out of their hiding place
The eggnog is spiked just a bit
Daddy pauses under the mistletoe
Waiting to be joined by his wife’s lips
Snow falls outside of the window
The fireplace dances with delight
The world somehow seems more peaceful
On the passing of Christmas Eve night
