Oh, the month of December has begun! br The air is chill and nights are turning cold; br And soon, it will be freezing, misty, with snow! br The holidays are just around the corner! br br And children have already begun dreaming- br Of how they ought to spend the Christmas this year; br And decorate their christmas-tree and build br A mighty snow-man that will instil fear! br br And Santa Claus is coming with his sledge, br Pulled by reindeers, flying in the night Sky; br He is taking a list of the many presents, br To get readied before the Christmas day! br br The trees are losing all their leaves, look bare; br Birds songs are vanishing and seem so rare; br The nights are long and chilly all the more, br A gorgeous dress, all children will soon wear! br br Born was a baby in a manger cold! br He brought joy to the world and peace to men! br 'He would forgive sins, '- the prophets foretold, br Redeeming souls and take them to heaven!br br Dr John Celesbr br
