A Special Christmas
A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS
Families should be together on Xmas day
Some kids’ folks are wealthy
They work abroad, but they never
Fail to come at Xmas for a whole week and see the kids
Their house is specially decorated for homecoming
Like a huge icing-covered cake
A professional Santa is hired, (electronic sleighbells,)
To perform ho-ho-hos and give out toys
At the big party
It is excellent to see.
Some kids’ folks are ordinary
They work in the local steel plant
Their houses have no special icing
To show it’s Xmas, no circus tricks
The sleighbells are done by dad
Amusing the kids, jangling keys on a shoestring
Mum gives her attention as they sing and play
And joke and do yard-work together every day
Xmas is not special, it is every day for them.
