The Eve of Christmas

THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS At long last it’s pre-Christmas night And Santa’s coming on his merry way. Outside the moon and stars are bright Children strain to catch a sight Of reindeer pulling over-laden sleigh. At long last it’s pre-Christmas night Snow-capped roofs are glistening white; Fairy lights are twinkling and gay. Outside the moon and stars are bright Younger ones have given up the fight And fall asleep until the break of day. At long last it’s pre-Christmas night Older ones still hope they might Catch Dad, red gown and beard of grey. Outside the moon and stars are bright. On this night all the world is right. Let Christmas come without delay. Outside the moon and stars are bright. At long last it’s pre-Christmas night 8th December 2020 Deck The Halls contest Sponsor - Joseph May
