When the air is so crisp and clean to the sense
And there’s snow on the roof, on the trees, on the fence
Soon comes the time which all children await
Christmas morning’s the best, you’ll see, you just wait
Be you old, be you young, still a child is in there
Waiting to burst out with big eyes and mussed up hair
Through the paper, the ribbon, the box, and the bow
Is it just what they want, I can’t see, I don’t know
They laugh or they smile or go crazy with glee
Excitement and joy is all you know, all you see
All the best things in life right here in one room
All positive energy, no portent of gloom
It seems with the passing of each and every year
This is one time set aside for good times and good cheer
When Christmastime comes and plans are all set
We sometimes, it seems, tend to forget
Somewhere, some child won’t see Santa this year
For this child no good times, for this child no good cheer
Not everyone is as lucky as some
Not everyone knows if Christmas will come
For those who have much it’s a grand time in deed
But for many out there it’s a great time of need
So remember to give and be of good cheer
Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year
