The Joys of Christmas
Do you recall the Christ Child born?
So small in Mary's arms forlorn
Beneath the star the Magii saw
And then crossed deserts to adore
Fetch you indoors your Yuletide logs
Or put out bright St Nicholas clogs
Ring the tree with sparkling lights
For tis the season of pure delights
Smell cakes and cookies freshly done
To help with these is half the fun
Find the cat amidst piles of paper
For Christmas is but a joyous caper!
