To give your time to another, is the greatest gift of all
Sit down and reminisce; past Christmas days recall.
Dress the house with tinsel and mistletoe no less
But oh the dreaded needles; of the tree; do make a mess.
Order snow for Christmas day, from the snowman down the road
Be sure he plans to turn up, with a huge, ginormous load.
Go out and make your snowman, dress him up with a scarf and hat
Then roll some snow into decent balls; don't hit your Great-Uncle Pat!
There's a dusty box up high in the loft with cards from days gone by
You sit down in a discarded old chair, read the words and wonder why
How Christmas brings out the best; and the worst in families; we know
But to see the smiles on a kiddie's face; it makes your own smile start to grow.
Remember the day that Grand-Dad got so drunk he fell out of bed?
Christmas day at the table; Nan told us; his face turned the brightest red.
Grand-Dad, he was special; he had a chuckle you never forgot
But I swear the eyes that twinkled; behind the beard; they knew a lot.
