Christmas Eve is here
Santa Claus is coming soon
To spread Christmas cheer

berries on the leaves
On your wreathes and in your halls
little red wonders

on this special day
Children line the busy streets
Caroling away

little ring of pine
is used as our centerpiece
Symbolizing love

Christmas Morning:
I wake up early
and see a snowy blanket
Out my windowpane

Christmas Tree:
On this Wondrous day
The Christmas tree is glowing
A star on top lays
__________________________________________________________
Snow:
A white blanket
covering the winter ground
soft and white and fun

Fireplace:
The outside is cold
But our fireplace is warm
And near it we lay

Sledding:
Sliding down the hills
We sit on our wooden sleds
Singing on our way

Everyone is here
Let us open our presents
With the ones we love

In his magic shop

As you lay in bed
Listen and you just might hear
reindeer as they land

Can you sleep tonight?
You know Santa is coming
are you excited?

Hanging above them
Waiting for the two to kiss
A Mistletoe plant

Santa Claus:
A jolly old man
Quite round, most people will say
That's Santa Claus

Nutcracker:
You open your gift
And just what is it you see?
A simple nutcracker

Chestnuts:
Cracking and popping
Roasting on an open fire
Edible delights

Jack Frost:
Cold wind is blowing
Causing rain to turn to snow
All the work of Jack

Elves:
They create the toys
That Santa brings us each year
The hard-working elves

- Not bad. Some are light and whimsical, others just seem very plain. Overall a pretty good job, but you could make this better. smile
