All the Christmas stories the children are learning

As the Christmas candle is burning.

The stories are being told by grandparents and parents alike

Sitting by the candle light.

Oh so many stories that must be told

Stories that never gets old.

Stories of different places and unfamiliar faces

Like stories of Uncle Scrooge and how the people s kindness he abused

And how he changed his ways, and the story lives on till this day.

Also the stories of Rudolph and frosty the snowman and Santa

And what he went through- to deliver presents to me and you.

Then you have the island of misfit toys and how

Each one yearned to be hugged by a little girl or boy

And Santa knew just what to do and they’ve been repaired like new.

The elves have worked all year long making toys for every girl and boy

This is Santa’s special day where he gives the toys they made away.

Then we see the children who can’t stay awake no matter how hard they try

Because the Sandman’s dust is in their eyes.

His sleigh will be in flight and the stars will be his guiding light

And Rudolph will brighten the way, so from his course he will not stray.

So many stories that the adults will tell as the children sit all around

Just looking up, not making a sound.

We need these story tellers who know how to weave a web

Till they close their eyes and are put in bed.
