Children go to bed
As darkness fills the air.
The streets are all decorated
With the colors green and red.

Snow falls silently
Blanketing the ground
Mothers everywhere are heard
Singing gracefully.

Tomorrow will be grand
The children will to gifts
There will be smiles all around
Thanks to Jesus' gracious hand.

Christmas is the second most beautiful holiday ever (it is only second to Independence Day, simply because of all the fire and explosions).
