The brightly colored presents
The gold and silver bows
The garland and the strings of lights
The bit of mistletoe

The lovely little manger scene
With shepherds, cows and sheep
With Joseph, Mary, Angels too
Do watch the Baby sleep

The fat and jolly Santas
In suits of red and white
The ornaments on every branch
And every blinking light

Plates on the coffee table
With cookies, cakes and pies
The talking and the laughter
The look of shining eyes

Although these things are all about
The things the best to see
Are all my loved ones gathered 'round
The Merry Christmas Tree
