Most Wonderful Time

Christmas is drawing near,
Bringing lots of joy and cheer.
The stores are stocked with treasures
For everyone's shopping pleasure.

The wreath is hung on my front door,
Hot chocolate steaming ready to pour.
Chestnuts roasting in the fireplace,
Snow flakes falling like bits of lace.

Christmas carols playing on the radio
Brings back memories of long ago.
I sing along and reminisce.
Of past Christmas, gatherings of bliss

Children laughing, playing in the snow,
Making snowballs they will throw.
The mailman coming up the street,
With a handful of cards, what a treat!

There's one from Uncle Bob and Aunt Bee
And from the butcher, just for me.
Here's one from Mom and Pop Brown
So glad they'll be coming to town.

The story of Jesus birth Pop loves to tell,
He doesn't have to read it, he knows it well.
The children gather round as he begins,
To tell how the Baby Jesus did descend.

How the star from the east shone bright,
And led the wise men to him on that night.
The shepherds left their flocks to come see
The Baby that was born to free you and me.

To a man He would grow to be,
He came to preach, and to die on that tree.
Taking on, your sins and mine,
It was planned before the beginning of time.
