FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS

Turkey and ham in the oven
with pecan and pumpkin pies
Everyone's favorite dishes
are a feast for hungry eyes

Nature joins in with its wonder;
Jack frost left his gift this day
The trees all glistening silver
celebrating our Lord's birthday

Children singing carols
in almost perfect harmony
They sing a joyful chorus
around the Christmas tree

The tree inside will greet you
with lights of blue and red
The gifts will come much later
after children are tucked in bed

We'll gather around the table
and bow our heads to pray
Give thanks for the blessed birth
of Christ Jesus on this day

After dinner, a nice warm fire
to sit and chat about other things
The children hang their stockings
and wonder what Santa will bring

People in many countries
celebrate in different ways
So many wonderful traditions
are recorded for this day

As you celebrate your Christmas
I send you all my very best
Have a merry little Christmas
and a New Year that is blessed
