Presents of Christmas
‘Tis the season
‘Tis the time
Time for presents
Time for lists
Lists of things to do
Lists of people to love
Love the cold
Love the warmth
Warmth of smiles
Warmth of promises
Promises for Santa
Promises to keep
Keep the fire burning
Keep the wind away
Away from the home
Away from my mind
Mind full of tinsel
Mind warm and aglow
Aglow with happiness
Aglow with hope
Hope against frost
Hope against cold
Cold is my nose
Cold against the window
Window showing the eve
Window framing the night
Night that’s blank
Night I’m waiting for
For Santa’s slewing sleigh
For Rudolph’s clopping hooves
Hooves that patter
Hooves that glide
Glide over the world
Glide over chimney-tops
Chimney-tops of quiet houses
Chimney-tops waiting for presents
Presents that glow
Presents for all
All the young
All the old
Old Saint Nick
Old yuletide spirit
Spirit that gives
Spirit that’ll never stop
Stop your darting eyes
Stop for Christmas
Christmas that’s love
Christmas that is
Is...
Love...
