Christmas Eve

Door bells ringing, children singing                                   
Christmas songs, just for you.
Joy they bring, with smiling faces
hoping for a coin or two. 

Church bells ringing, choirs singing 
Christmas carols by candlelight.
As the faithful come to worship
on this special holy night.

Lights are on the Christmas tree 
pretty colours reflect on the wall.
Excited little ones, trying to sleep
hoping Santa, will come to call.

In the church they speak of shepherds
and angels coming from above.
Of how Christ was born of Mary
the prince of peace and love.

There are parties, with happy people
who are full of Christmas cheer.
Dancing, singing and laughing
and enjoying their food and beer. 

At the church, the mass is over    
so the congregation drift away.                   
Night becomes a new tomorrow.
and at last, it’s Christmas day.
