Santa's making a list, checking it twice!
Pumpkin pie is baking. Everyone's promised a slice,
Presents are wrapped, displayed beneath the tree.
Children are shaking them, "Which one's for me?"
Lights of red and green shine along the street,
Gingerbread smells delicious, delicious enough to eat.
Big orange flames flicker in the fireplace,
Creating such a warm, cozy, comforting space.
Christmas carolers start gathering around,
Voices so strong they make a wondrous sound.
As big white snowflakes begin to fall,
Christmas becomes more magical for us all.
Representing the birth of Christ with a manger display,
"Jesus is the reason" for celebration this Christmas Day.
