CHRISTMAS time is nearly here

The season of goodwill and cheer

We put up and decorate the Christmas tree

So that it is a pleasure for all to see

We use tinsel and baubles bright

And then add the fairy lights

We cook mince pies and Christmas pud

Which smell and taste extremely good

Then Santa Claus comes in the night

With our presents all wrapped up tight

But does he really exist and have snow white hair

Or is it just my mum creeping down the stairs?

Whoever leaves my presents there

As long as I get them I don't really care!

Christmas time is really cool

So make sure you have a fantastic yule!
