Christmastide

Infant Jesus
Came to earth
He gave man
A second birth

Hang the ivy
And the holly
This Christmas
Let man be jolly

It’s time
For yuletide cheer
A special time
Of the year

Kiss your beloved
Under the mistletoe
Let your love
Continue to grow

Trim
The Christmas tree
With ornaments and
Colored lights you see

Drink
Some eggnog
We prefer Schneider’s
Cut the yule log

Feast on
A smoked and baked ham
And fruitcake soaked in
Bourbon and rum, a wee dram

We’ll have fresh kielbasa
And nut roll too
There is no yummy food
That we would eschew

Santa bows before
Baby Jesus in the manger
Mary was
In labor

Remember that
Christ is the reason
For us celebrating
The Christmas season
