• On this Christmas Eve
    The candles burn so bright
    An evergreen stands
    With the garland shimmering
    From the little lights

    Decorations
    Dress up this empty house
    Stockings hung by the fireplace
    Gifts lay under the tree
    Ready for Christmas day

    The fire slowly dims
    Telling its time for bed
    All you hear are the footsteps
    Of tired but excited children
    Waiting for that special day

    The Christmas star shines so brightly
    Snow falls with graceful silence
    Neighbors lighting the darkness
    Guiding jolly old Saint Nick

    Sun rises over a winter wonderland
    The icicles glisten
    From the welcome light
    The screams and laughter
    Of children’s delight
    Echo as they run for the awaiting sight

    It’s Christmas day and
    The people cheer with delight
    Exchange of gifts and holiday spirit
    A love is passed from person to person
    Giving joy to all who are near

    Family and friends come your way
    Bring cheer and joy and a little wine
    A Christmas feast ready for
    Many to come and enjoy
    There’s singing and laughter
    Along with crying

    As Christmas comes our way
    We share the time that we
    Have with one another and
    Sing out for all to hear
