Jack Frost on the window panes
Little boys wishing for choo-choo trains
Snowflakes falling from the sky
Neighbors smiling as they walk by



Children sitting on Santa's knee
Making their wishes happily
Their little faces all aglow
Pink and rosy from the snow



Yummy smells from the kitchen waft
Watching snowflakes white and soft
Sending dozens of Christmas cards
Manger scenes in all the yards



Ribboned packages of green and red
Tiny ones dreaming in their bed
Sharing secrets whispered low
Lovers under the mistletoe



Candles and holly on the mantle tall
Eggnog and cocoa for one and all
Bells and tinsel on the tree
Choirs are singing joyfully



Enjoying the warmth of the firelight
Telling stories into the night
Evergreens keeping snowbirds warm
Icicles blowing from the latest storm



Making a snowman big and round
Songs from carolers abound
Rejoicing in this happy season
Mindful of the Heavenly reason
