Christmas time is here, and people are so jolly
families far and near are hanging up their holly
Christmas trees of balsam and pine
and ornaments that hang so fine
Gingerbread with sugar as white as snow
and candy canes whose swirls always grow
Bells are ringing in the air
and snowflakes falling with no pair
Sitting in front of the fire on a cold Christmas night
in a cozy chair with a lantern for light
We go into bed, and all say goodnight
because we know that Santa Claus is coming tonight.
