Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

We would hide presents through the year
All around the house every where  

That night we said, kids it’s time for bed
Let thoughts of Santa fill your head 

I helped wrap gifts with my wife
To put happiness in our kids life
            
Under the tree went the gifts we had
Some from Santa, some from mom and dad

Christmas eve was such a joy
Putting together a bike or toy 

I miss those Christmas eve nights
My wife, little kids and a tree with lights

For me now on December 24
Christmas eve it’s not the same anymore
