After the Church Service

Upon the freshly fallen snow Outside a church a horse and buggy Waits for the owner to arrive They are going for a ride To a farm that has a sleigh ride In the farmer's field close by Enjoying the sleigh ride Hot chocolate is served After the sleigh ride The children will have coca With a tasty snack to enjoy
