Christmas Day

Stockings filled
The table’s laid
Turkey’s ready to be bake
Mama Lindy cooks aware
On Christmas Day
Sister checks the snows in place
The ham is glazed by brother Jay
Candles flicker warm and safe
On Christmas Day
Uncle John came from far away
Aunty V made her famous cake
Cousin Marvin’s never late
On Christmas Day
We gather round the fireplace
Merrily the children play
With their gifts from Santa’s sleigh
On Christmas Day
The scent of sage and sweet cranberries
The gravy’s made so now we can eat
But not until Grandpa’s speech
On Christmas Day
Grandma won’t be here this year
She’s smiling down on us
Father says
In our joy we see her face
On Christmas Day
Happy to be with my family
So blessed in love with my family
On this day we celebrate
Oh Christmas Day
Oh Christmas Day
On Christmas Day
