Celebrating the Season
With joyous season drawing near
and holly boughs hung with delight,
we celebrate this time of year.
A festive feast of fun and cheer,
our decorations shining bright
with joyous season drawing near.
With carols sung for all to hear,
and candles glowing soft and white,
we celebrate this time of year.
We share our love with those held dear,
and gather ‘round the soft fire light
with joyous season drawing near.
The night is still as stars appear,
and in the East one draws our sight;
we celebrate this time of year
the precious Gift which we revere
sent long ago on cold dark night.
With joyous season drawing near
we celebrate this time of year.

What joy we feel on Christmas Day
For children everywhere a thrill
Gifts have arrived on Santa's sleigh
Our tree, a colourful display
With lights, glitter and much tinsel
What joy we feel on Christmas Day
All the family here today
To celebrate and show goodwill
Gifts have arrived on Santa's sleigh
Church service; now we're off to pray
We walk as the first snowflakes fall
What joy we feel on Christmas Day
Now back to feast without delay
To quaff good ale and eat our fill
Gifts have arrived on Santa's sleigh
Carol singers now come our way
Collecting for those folk with nil
What joy we feel on Christmas Day
Gifts have arrived on Santa's sleigh
A ridiculous sight for all to see
in my tacky sweater of Charlie Brown:
I'm nervously sitting on Santa's knee.
I wouldn't be here, except my friends dared me,
a full-grown man, acting more like a clown:
a ridiculous sight for all to see.
When my friends start laughing, I try to flee:
my smile, suddenly replaced by a frown,
I'm nervously sitting on Santa's knee.
Santa's too jolly; ignoring my plea,
embarrassed, I'm desperate to get down:
a ridiculous sight for all to see.
Holding me tight, with a sly look of glee:
as he asks me to go out on the town,
I'm nervously sitting on Santa's knee.
Santa's suit is dirty; it smells of pee:
damping any desire to stick around.
A ridiculous sight for all to see:
I'm nervously sitting on Santa's knee.
The Christmas tree stands alone
But still decorated with lights glowing
The family has come and gone
A misty tear drop with a quiet groan
Remembering the days when they were home
The Christmas tree stands alone
Wanting little ones to come and crawl in zone
Of the blanket, packages, and decorations
The family has come and gone
Leftover food, torn wrap, lights that shone
Guiding them to this warm old home
The Christmas tree stands alone
Dirty dishes, soiled placemats, candles blown
Still longing for them at home
The family has come and gone
Time passes, situations change
The love in my heart remains the same
The Christmas tree stands alone
The family has come and gone
