‘Twas the night of Christmas as the fire was crackling,
All of the family were happily laughing.
The Christmas carollers were at the door,
Coming to sing to the poor.

The Christmas tree lights were twinkling,
It was so bright my eyes were blinking.
The stockings were hung by the fire place,
As the baby’s new toy was pushed to a high pace.

The leftover turkey was set to the side,
all of its hot heat had died.
As the little children were cooing,
I wondered what Santa Claus was doing.
