The Sounds of Christmas

There's music of the holidays Playing on the radio There's Christmas decorations Almost everywhere you go. The Salvation Army bells Ring out for the poor The "Ho,ho." of Santa Claus In the department stores. Carolers sing Christmas songs Going house to house - Tales about, where no one stirs Not even a mouse. Hoofbeats in fresh fallen snow Pulling an open sleigh - Children asking Mom and Dad "Is Santa on his way?" Cracklin' from the fireplace - Roasting chestnuts 'neath the coals - The soft murmur of prayers Said for the lost souls. Friends and family gather To toast, Christmas cheer - There's sounds of angels singing If you really want to hear. The sounds of Christmas, fill the air As we celebrate His birth - Wishing joy, to all mankind And peace to all on earth.
