If a Christmas Tree Could See

I can see you Bobby sneaking a look
No, your mother did not buy you a book
Tony and Jimmie have come to see
Bobby gazing at me
My lights are bright so Santa can see
Where to put the presents under me

It is Christmas Eve and I can hear the Boys
Laughing and giggling about their toys
I can hear a thunder upon the roof
It’s Rudolph and his reindeer hoofs
A laughter so loud from Santa himself
It would gather a crowd all by itself

All of a sudden the fireplace went out
And all I saw were Santa’s feet sticking out
He whispered so low and I could barely hear
There are my cookies and carrots for my reindeer
He took a bite the next thing I knew
He was gone like a bullet into the night
For his next delivery that night

The boys woke up screaming with glee, 
What did Santa bring me?
Their faces were filled joy
As they opened their Christmas toys
I sat there laughing but next thing I knew
A Christmas carol came out of the blue
I Wish you a marry Christmas
And have a wonderful New Year!
