I Hear Christmas Is Coming
I hear Christmas is coming,
Santa songs people are humming.
Crazy days and cuddly nights,
Joy and love, fairy lights.
Hushed tones, mindless giggles
resound,sweet memories, curious glances
all around.
Yes, I hear Christmas is coming.
Can you hear the festive drumming?
Soon roast turkeys will sizzle in the oven,
puddings and dundee cakes eaten by the
ton.
Munching on piles of dried fruits and
cookies,
and women will be exchanging juicy
recipes.
Christmas will forever remain a gem
as a special boy was born in Bethlehem.
Yup, I hear Christmas is coming,
dancing with guitars strumming.
Baubles and bright lights dangling from
trees,
children coming out of grottos with
freebies.
It's this festival that teaches giving.
Do some good deeds while you're living.
In Heaven Jesus is praying for our
survival,
I'm sure He is hasty for His arrival.
Ho! Ho! Ho! I hear Christmas is coming.
It is time for redeeming.
Folks on the streets are dancing and
singing,
Even the grumpy ones seem to be
enjoying.
Christmas miracles touch all mankind.
Grouches become givers, selfish become
kind.
No reasons for sadness, no excuses for
failing,
the spirit of Christmas heals the ailing.
It's true Christmas is coming.
The joyous fever is just resuming.
In everyone is seen childhood innocence.
Intimacy and charity is common for once.
Chocolate coins and Advent calenders are
in vogue,
Visits are frequent to a Church or
Synagogue.
Everyone joins in to celebrate Christmas.
They have waited for this day with
eagerness.
Chanting in the air, Christmas is coming.
Let's see what this Christmas will bring
