Ho Ho Ho

It was the night before Christmas in winter fairy land
 Where elves were busy giving Santa Claus a hand
 Making all the toys for boys and girls
 As snowflakes danced in pirouettes and swirls

 Frosty the snowman was dancing as well
 To the wonderful sounds of those jingle bells
 Then Santa loaded his sled to destinations anew
 Sleigh bells ringing, as away he flew

 Children were helping with Christmas tree trimming
 With nervous anticipation they all were brimming
 Waiting for toys that Santa was bringing
And carolers outside were happily singing

  They drifted off to sleep,  and their dreams began
  But were awakened by the laughter of a jolly old man
  Then they heard him shout,  much to their delight
 "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
