Answer:
Twas the morning of Christmas and all through the city
Snow had fallen overnight, making everything oh so pretty
There was a blanket of cheer 'cause Christmas was here
Children ran downstairs to find Santa's cookies gone
And knew for sure, he was there before dawn.
Families huddle around the Christmas tree
Handing out presents, one for you and one for me.
A glance at the clock and we notice the time
As the clock strikes with a cheerful chime.
After breakfast is done
No one is spared for everything must rank number one
Some leave to visit others
While others stay home for the holiday
Children jump with joy when they see their grandfathers and grandmothers
While the grownups talk, the children go play
They play with their family whom they don't see everyday
Snowballs are flung from forts made of snow
And the cold bites their noses and sting their cheeks
They head inside for hot cocoa
Some say they won't go outside for another three weeks
Finally the time for presents is here
It's the children's most favorite time of the year
A child rips off the paper of one that is labeled 'From Mother and Father'
As the grownups look at each other with a glance that says 'Why even bother'
The paper reveals a brand new toy
A sailboat for the bathtub, you help but say "Ahoy!"
After cleanup, it's time to eat
The girls cooked up a real treat
There is turkey and ham and a lot more,
You stuff yourself 'till you can't eat much more.
Your mind is changed when mother brings out the desserts you've been warned not to touch
However you're suspicious of one pie, it's Dutch
Candy canes are licked and licked, till they're just an itty bitty stick
The family is all caught up and you have had your fun share
After all you're kind of tired, and tip-toe to bed
After you're all tucked in next to your favorite stuffed bear
You can hear the tunes of Christmas carols still in your head
You think, as you watch the snow fall
The holiday is full of Christmas wishes made by all
And affectionate mistletoe kisses
