I'm always a little reluctant to write a Christmas song. Maybe because there is so much to live up to but I bullied myself into it this year and I feel my work is done (for a year anyway). smile.

Now on Christmas Day © 2023 V. Arnold
V1
Early in the morning.
Everyone's in bed.
All except that old guy
dressed in red.
Some think his whiskers
are made of cotton wool
but wrapped around those red cheeks,
they look kinda cool.
V2
Bells will ring out,
heralding the show,
Maybe tomorrow
we'll build a man of snow.
The season to be jolly,
when the devout prey
and even those who don't,
show love this day.
Pre ch.
Crisp and white, silent night.
All the stars glowing bright.
Ch.
So ring the chimes. Sing those rhymes
and all the words you need to say.
Take the sweetness.
Give forgiveness,
all on Christmas day
Pre ch.2
Hear the children counting sheep,
trying to lose their thoughts in sleep.
Ch.
